The 2027 Skoda Peaq has been unveiled as the Czech brand’s new flagship model.

The seven-seat electric vehicle (EV) is larger than the Kodiaq seven-seater, but slightly smaller than the Superb wagon, as well as being smaller than key rivals, the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq.

Skoda detailed three variants of the Peaq at the new model’s reveal: Peaq 60, Peaq 90, and Peaq 90x. The Peaq 60 features a single 150kW motor and 59kWh (usable) battery, the Peaq 90 ups power to 210kW with an 86kWh battery, and the Peaq 90x offers a dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain with 220kW combined, coupled with the larger battery.

Acceleration from 0-100km/h ranges from 8.5 seconds in the Peaq 60 down to 6.8 seconds for the Peaq 90x.

As with other Skoda EVs, the Peaq is based on the Volkswagen Group’s ‘MEB’ modular electric platform, which is also used for the Skoda Elroq and Enyaq, plus the Curpa Tavascan, and Volkswagen ID.4, ID.5, and ID. Buzz.

Driving range for the Peaq 60 is rated at 459km, the single-motor Peaq 90 can cover 647km, while the dual-motor 90x drops back to 613km, based on WLTP testing.

All three are 11kW AC-charging compatible, with 160kW maximum DC charging for the Peaq 60 and 199kW for the Peaq 90 and 90x. Skoda claims 10-80 per cent charging is possible in 27 minutes for the 60 and 28 minutes for the 90 models.

With all three rows in use, Skoda claims 299 litres of luggage capacity, rising to 890 litres with the third row stowed. Folding the second row liberates 2075 litres of cargo space, with an additional 37-litre storage space under the bonnet. A five-seat version is also available with 935 litres behind the rear seats.

Interior trim is based around sustainable materials, with Skoda claiming 50kg of recycled materials used in each vehicle. Interiors are trimmed in fabric, or fabric and ‘Technota’, a faux-leather material, with the availability of partial leather and Technota trim on range-topping models.

A 10-inch driver’s display and a 13.6-inch vertical infotainment display will be available from launch, with an augmented reality head-up display being added later in 2027. The interior includes a pair of 25-watt wireless chargers, physical buttons for climate controls, and physical buttons for the steering wheel controls.

Other available interior equipment includes an electrochromatically-dimmable panoramic sunroof, Relax Package reclining front seats with massage, a 16-speaker Sonos-branded audio system, and a power-retractable cargo blind.

In terms of size, the Peaq measures 4874mm long with a 2965mm wheelbase. That makes it longer than the Kodiaq seven-seater in both dimensions (4758mm/2791). The Skoda Superb wagon is longer overall, but with a shorter wheelbase (4902mm/2841mm).

Key seven-seat EV rivals outstretch the Peaq, with the Ioniq 9 claiming 5060mm overall on a 3130mm wheelbase, and the Kia EV9 measuring 5010mm with a 3100mm wheelbase.

Australian availability for the Peaq has yet to be confirmed, but with right-hand production for the UK confirmed for later in 2026, one of the major roadblocks to seeing the new model here has already been overcome.
