Skoda Peaq: Price starting at 49,900 euros for a range of 63 (59) kWh, equivalent to 214,000 zł. More expensive than the Mercedes GLB EQ Tech, cheaper than the Kia EV9
Skoda has unveiled its largest model without any camouflage: the Skoda Peaq is a hybrid of a SUV and minivan that fills the D-segment (4.87 meters long, 2.97 meters wheelbase). The price for the Peaq 60 Selection version with a 63 (59) kWh battery is set to start at 49,900 euros, equivalent to 214,000 Polish zlotys. This vehicle is positioned between the Mercedes GLB EQ Tech and Kia EV9, and it could potentially serve as a competitor to the Tesla Model Y Long Range. The prices of the Skoda Peaq seem attractive, though they resemble those of a model half a segment smaller, the VW ID.4.

Specifications, battery capacity, range, charging
Let’s start with the facts: we already provided the technical specifications for the Skoda Peaq in January 2026 when the manufacturer announced the model. We knew the wheelbase, battery capacity, and several other parameters based on the capabilities of the MEB platform. Now we know that Skoda’s largest SUV will be available as the Skoda Peaq 60 with a 63 (59) kWh battery and the Skoda Peaq 90 with a 91 (86) kWh battery. The first variant is expected to offer “over 450” WLTP range units (initial claim: 456 units), while the second will have over 640 WLTP range units (642 units). There’s also a Peaq 90x version, which we’ll discuss shortly.
640 units of range correspond to 547 kilometers in urban or urban-suburban driving conditions, 384 kilometers at 120 km/h, and 294 kilometers at 140 km/h [preliminary calculations by Elektrowozu’s editorial team]. If someone sets their cruise control to 113-115 km/h (~110-112 km/h in reality) to avoid fines on expressways, even if they experience a temporary speed increase while overtaking, they can easily cover over 400 kilometers before the battery runs out. The Skoda Peaq’s drag coefficient Cx is 0.249, while the Tesla Model Y, which is similar in size, has a Cx of 0.216; the Kia EV9, on the other hand, has a Cx of 0.28.
The Skoda Peaq is built on the MEB platform, uses a 400 V architecture, and achieves charging speeds of 160 or 199 kW at chargers, resulting in charging times of 27 or 28 minutes to reach 10 to 80 percent charge.
Power and Prices
Readers of Elektrowozu who closely follow the technical specifications of Volkswagen’s vehicles will quickly recognize familiar numbers: the standard Skoda Peaq 60 will come equipped with an APP350 engine delivering 150 kW/204 HP (350 Nm), while the Skoda Peaq 90 will start with an APP550 engine producing 210 kW/286 HP (545 Nm). It should be noted that the latter is more fuel-efficient and reliable, so we won’t be surprised if it makes its way to the lower-end version as well and is limited via software, allowing the manufacturer to eventually unlock additional power at a modest fee.
The Peaq 60 will still be sluggish on the road even with its smaller battery, especially when carrying more passengers in the cabin. With a similar turning radius and power output, getting the VW ID.4 moving was already a challenge, particularly above 80-100 km/h, and the new Skoda model is actually a larger car. Additionally, the Skoda Peaq 90x is also being announced, expected to have 220 kW/299 hp of power and a range of 609 WLTP units.
The base price for the launch version is the mentioned 49,900 euros. Prices for the Skoda Peaq 90 are set to start at 57,900 euros, equivalent to 248,200 zlotys, while the cheapest all-wheel-drive version, the Peaq 90x, costs from 60,400 euros, equivalent to 259,900 zlotys.
Trunk Capacity and Competition
The trunk capacity of the Skoda Peaq in the 5-seater version is set at 935 liters. Plus an additional 37 liters under the hood, perfect for a charging cable. The 7-seater version has 299 liters in the back with the rear seats folded down. It offers 890 liters once the third row of seats is folded up. Quickly calculating, folding just one seat leaves 595 liters of space available, which is quite substantial even for a larger family.
The Skoda Peaq is an… interesting car. Our immediate comparison is the Volkswagen ID.6, which never made it from China to Europe, which is why companies tried to import it. It seems Volkswagen Group has noticed this market: the Skoda Peaq is the same model, just with a modified body. It falls between the Mercedes GLB EQ Tech (4.732 m long) and the Kia EV9 (5.015 m long). With such dimensions and a sloping roof, the third row of seats won’t be particularly spacious, making the boxier EV9 a better choice, especially in terms of charging speed.
