TL;DRSkoda’s Peaq seven-seat EV starts around €50,000 with up to 600km range and V2H charging, undercutting the Kia EV9 and Ioniq 9 significantly.
Skoda has revealed the Peaq, its first seven-seat all-electric SUV and the most expensive car in the Czech automaker’s 130-year history. Built on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform at Skoda’s home plant in Mladá Boleslav, the Peaq stretches nearly 4.9 metres long and is designed to compete directly with the Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 9, and Volvo EX90. The difference is price, with Skoda targeting a starting point of around €50,000 to €55,000, compared to roughly €66,000 for the EV9 and €70,000 for the Ioniq 9.
The lineup will launch with three variants. The Peaq 60 pairs a 150kW rear motor with a 63kWh battery for more than 460km of WLTP range, while the Peaq 90 steps up to a 210kW motor and a 91kWh pack for over 600km. The range-topping Peaq 90x adds a second motor for all-wheel drive and 220kW of total output, keeping the same 91kWh battery and 600km-plus range.
All three variants support DC fast charging at up to 200kW, which Skoda says will take the battery from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 28 minutes. The Peaq also supports bidirectional charging, meaning it can feed power back to a home through the VW Group’s Moon Power Ambibox DC wallbox. Vehicle-to-load capability is included as well, letting owners run external devices directly from the car’s battery.
