From EV Review Ireland.
Welcome back to the channel! Today we are on the shores of Lake Como in Italy for an exclusive first look and covered drive of the all-new Škoda Peaq. This is Škoda’s most ambitious electric vehicle yet—a proper 7-seater designed to sit above the Enyaq in the range. While the car is currently under wraps with its unique camouflage, we’re joined by drive unit expert Jan Patik to explore the engineering and performance that will define this flagship model. We’ll be diving into the dual-motor setup, the innovative traction systems, and getting a sense of the sheer scale of this new electric contender.

Features
Massive Flagship Dimensions: The Peaq is significantly larger than its sibling, the Kodiaq, measuring 4.87 meters long with a 2.96 meter wheelbase, providing over 100 litres more boot space in the 5-seater configuration [10:30].
High-Performance AWD: The top-spec 90x model features a dual-motor setup delivering 220kW (299 hp), utilising a permanent magnet motor on the rear and an asynchronous motor on the front for maximum efficiency and traction [03:30, 04:52].
Advanced Traction Mode: Introduces a dedicated "Traction" driving profile that keeps both motors permanently connected up to 20 km/h, specifically designed for slippery surfaces like snow or mud [04:45, 05:25].
Large Battery Options: Available with either a 63 kWh (Gross) or a massive 91 kWh (Gross) NCM battery, with the latter providing a WLTP range of over 600 km [11:45, 12:15].
Genuine 7-Seat Utility: Features a versatile three-row layout where even the third row provides ample headroom and legroom for adults, supported by a 60/40 sliding middle bench with 15cm of travel [07:30, 08:44].
Rapid Charging Technology: Optimised for long-distance travel, the Peaq supports high-speed DC charging capable of completing a 10% to 80% charge in under 28 minutes across the entire lineup [12:30].
