New Skoda SUV Launched – All Details
The SUV we are talking about is the Skoda Peaq; it’s the biggest and most spacious Skoda yet. It’s long enough to comfortably accommodate 7 human beings and even offers 299 litres of boot space. Well, that’s not the only good thing about the model; there are some more, but we will talk about them later.

Design & Features
Visually, it’s a Skoda – as the badge on the front and rear says. It gets funky front lighting, along with pixel-like lighting elements stretching across the front fascia, which draw inspiration from the sub-4m Skoda electric. It gets flush-type door handles and a panoramic sunroof that extends to the third row.
Other visual properties include air curtains, finlets, wheel-arch spoilers, and aero-trims on the wheels. Another fancy thing, the wipers get integrated washers.
The interiors feature a 13.6-inch vertical infotainment touchscreen, wireless phone charging, a 16-speaker Sonos sound system and more. There are plenty of driver assistance features bundled in. Those wanting a sporty SUV, well, there’s a ‘Sportline’ version too. It gets black detailing, sport seats, and bigger wheels. Then there’s a Relax pack too – it offers ventilated, massaging seats, pillows, a folding table and a wellbeing app. Surely, a premium SUV of this kind couldn’t miss out on that.
Well, we have also discussed the SUV’s large capacity, right? So, there’s a 5-seat iteration available too alongside the 7-seater version. Go with the 5-seat iteration, and you get a 935-litre boot. That’s more than any Skoda on sale right now!

Powertrain
The electric Skoda packs good power; you can see it in the largest capacity unit of any Skoda electric vehicle. There are two battery pack options: 90kWh (Peaq 90) and 60kWh (Peaq 60). There’s also a Peaq 90x; the ‘X’ lettering gives you the benefit of dual motors for AWD capability.
Range-wise, the 60kWh battery pack delivers nearly 450km, while the 90kWh battery pack delivers approximately 610km.
