The Czech brand has unveiled the Peaq — the largest electric SUV in its lineup. Essentially, it is a battery-powered alternative to the Kodiaq, but with a longer wheelbase, a roomier cabin and a set of features the brand has never offered before.

The dimensions instantly betray its family focus: 4,874 mm long with a 2,965 mm wheelbase. The Peaq seats up to seven, and even with all three rows in use there is still 299 l of boot space. In the five-seat configuration cargo capacity jumps to 935 l, and up front there is another 37-litre compartment for cables and small items. For buyers in the large-SUV bracket this is no small detail: plenty of electric crossovers drive well but lose to ordinary family models on practicality.

The range opens with the Peaq 60: a 63 kWh battery (59 kWh usable), a 150 kW (204 hp) motor, rear-wheel drive, 0–100 km/h in 8.6 seconds and up to 440 km of range. The Peaq 90 and 90x step up to a 91 kWh battery with 86 kWh usable. The rear-wheel-drive Peaq 90 delivers 210 kW (286 hp), hits 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds and covers more than 630 km. The Peaq 90x adds a front motor for all-wheel drive, 220 kW (299 hp), a 6.7-second sprint and up to 605 km of range. A 10–80% DC charge takes 27–28 minutes.

Inside, Škoda has bet on comfort rather than sportiness. The Relax Package brings massage seats, electric footrests, a wellbeing app and a 16-speaker, 755-watt Sonos sound system. A 2.1 m² panoramic roof comes with adjustable tinting, and the central display is a 13.6-inch vertical screen — yet physical climate and volume controls have been retained. It is a rare balance: a digital cabin that refuses to abandon proper buttons.

In the market, the Peaq will have to take on the Kia EV9, the Hyundai Ioniq 9, the Peugeot E-5008, the Volkswagen ID. Buzz and the wave of large Chinese SUVs to come. Škoda's strength is practicality without a premium markup, but pricing has not yet been announced. If the Peaq lands noticeably below the EV9 and Ioniq 9, it could become one of the most rational family EVs in Europe.

Škoda has not tried to turn the Peaq into an electric sports car. It has done what the brand does best: built a big, sensible, practical car — only now without an internal combustion engine.
