In the Austrian market, the Skoda Peaq and Skoda Epiq arrived at dealer showrooms at the beginning of October 2026. Unlike in Germany, Austria already offers the entry-level Epiq 35 with a maximum power output of up to 85 kW, starting at a price of 26,880 euros. In contrast, the German market begins with the more powerful Epiq 40 at 99 kW, priced at 27,900 euros.
The brand’s flagship model, the Skoda Peaq, starts at 49,980 euros in the Austrian catalog as the Peaq 60. However, the Sportline version is not available here compared to the German market; it is only listed starting from the Peaq 90 variant, which costs 66,690 euros.
Skoda Austria offers discounts
The reason for the different offerings in the two countries lies in varying demand. In Austria, this is influenced not only by performance-based taxation but also by higher expectations for long-distance capability, including shorter charging times and greater comfort.
As the equipment and power output increase in the Skoda Peaq and Epiq models, so do the price differences between Austria and Germany, with significantly higher prices in the Alpine country. However, Skoda currently offers a so-called Family Bonus that provides a discount of 2,400 euros. Additionally, an additional 4,500 euros can be saved through a financing package from Porsche Bank in Austria, which includes not only financing but also insurance and maintenance services.
Skoda Epiq: Lower charging capacity in the entry-level version
Although the Austrian Skoda price list still contains preliminary figures, it is already clear that the Epiq 35 with an 85 kW front-wheel-drive system comes equipped with a reduced charging capacity to justify the price gap compared to the Epiq 40 (99 kW, front-wheel-drive). The battery, with a net capacity of 37 kWh, can be charged via direct current at either a maximum of 50 kW or 88 kW depending on the variant. The battery is designed to provide a range of around 315 km.

The 155 kW front-wheel drive Epiq 55 offers even greater speed and range, capable of charging its 51.7 kWh (net) battery at 105 kW, delivering ranges of 429 km (First Edition), 434 km (Selection), or 441 km (Essence) depending on the trim level.
The base Essence version already meets basic electric mobility needs, featuring a 13-inch infotainment screen, a 5.3-inch digital cockpit, pre-conditioning, and route planning via the MySkoda app. The Selection trim adds to this comfort with features such as bidirectional charging (V2L, V2H, V2G), an adaptive travel assistant, one-pedal driving, seat heating, and 2-zone climate control. It also includes a trailer hitch. The First Edition serves as the fully equipped top model, complete with 20-inch alloy wheels and additional specific design and interior accents.
Skoda Peaq Also Available with All-Wheel Drive
The Skoda Peaq is optionally available with seven seats as well. The entry-level Peaq 60 model, which has a power output of 150 kW, is only available with rear-wheel drive. It comes equipped with a smaller 59-kWh battery and a charging capacity of 160 kW. The Peaq 90 can be ordered in Austria and Germany as an all-wheel drive version, with its power output increasing from 210 kW to 220 kW. The 90 model also features a 86 kWh (net) battery that can be charged at 199 kW. Due to all-wheel drive, the range decreases from 628 to 626 km depending on the configuration, to 597 to 595 km.

In Austria, the swiveling trailer coupling is standard on all variants. The Sportline version distinguishes the Skoda Peaq from the base Selection model with features such as matrix LED headlights, a head-up display, Travel Assistant, adaptive suspension (DCC), and a more sporty interior. Both models come standard with app-controlled climate control, one-pedal driving, and full bidirectional charging (V2L, V2H, V2G). As the most important electric vehicle option, a selectable heat pump is recommended to ensure range in winter.
