Meet the biggest ever Skoda: the new seven-seat, 400-mile Peaq SUV
Big battery. Big range. Many seats. Welcome to Skoda’s Big Boi
This is the Skoda Peaq. No, we do not know what it means – ‘peak’ but misspelt because Sqoda? – but we know what it means. It’s the biggest, most spacious Skoda ever built, designed to accommodate several human beings, a massive battery and many other important SUV things.
“This is the ultimate Peaq!” said Skoda. As befits the biggest thing it’s ever created, the Peaq’s MEB-platform crests 4.87m long, which puts it just shy of stuff like the Disco and XC90. Heck, it’s bigger even than the superb Superb in wheelbase. That means it’ll “comfortably” fit up to seven human adults, and – in this guise – up to 299 litres of boot space.
Bin the third row and opt for the five-seat car, and you get 935 litres of boot, “more than any other Skoda model”. And because it’s an electric Skoda model, there’s a bit of space in the nose of the car too, because the power source sits underneath the five or seven humans sitting inside.
Lots of power, too: no less than “the largest-capacity unit of any Skoda electric vehicle” if you opt for the big 91kWh version. That’s available as a 282bhp/402lb ft ‘Peaq 90’ or ‘Peaq 90x’, the former a rear-wheel-drive SUV with a single rear motor, while the latter gets an additional motor on the front axle for “short term overload capability”.
