Skoda will debut the Peaq, its largest and most expensive pure-electric model, this summer as a seven-seat EV built on the VW Group MEB platform.
At 4.9m long, the Peaq is about 250mm longer than the Enyaq and will serve as an electric equivalent to the Kodiaq; a test car featured a single 282bhp rear motor with an 86kWh battery claiming more than 380 miles and 195kW charging. Skoda will also offer a 90X twin-motor 295bhp variant and a '60' entry model with a 59kWh battery and 201bhp, with expected prices between £50,000 and £60,000 that undercut rivals such as the Kia EV9, Volvo EX90 and Hyundai Ioniq 9.
Skoda says the production Peaq will closely follow the Vision 7S concept and its new "Modern Solid" design, including T-shaped lights and a "Tech Deck" motif, and introduces features such as one-pedal driving, vehicle-to-load charging, an electrochromatic panoramic roof, magnetic phone chargers, a Relax package with reclining seats and table, a Sonos system and electrically retractable door handles; when asked about a vRS performance version, product bosses said "anything is possible."
