Overview
- Škoda allowed production‑car drives on Sunday, September 20, 2026, and multiple outlets reported that the cars driven match the manufacturer’s published specs for dimensions, battery sizes and charging rates.
- The line‑up uses two battery packs: a 63 kWh gross (59 kWh usable) Peaq 60 with 160 kW peak DC charging and a 91 kWh gross (86 kWh usable) Peaq 90/90x with 199 kW peak DC charging, and the 90x is a dual‑motor AWD variant that raises combined output to roughly 295–300 bhp.
- Reviewers praised the cabin quality and genuinely usable third row made possible by a near‑3.0 m wheelbase, and highlighted new options including a 13.6‑inch portrait infotainment screen, an optional 16‑speaker Sonos system, an electrochromic multi‑panel panoramic roof and a Relax Package with massage and legrest functions.
- Test drives commended exceptional ride comfort and high‑speed composure but flagged limits to sporty handling, a spongy rear brake pedal linked to rear drum brakes, and higher tested energy consumption than official figures with formal safety ratings and full real‑world range tests still pending.
- Skoda is positioning the Peaq against larger family and near‑premium seven‑seat EVs and is rolling out regional availability plans with UK and Australian pricing guidance published and Skoda confirming an India arrival as a completely built‑up (CBU) import with Autocar India reporting an expected ex‑showroom price near Rs 60 lakh.
