Skoda Peaq interior: What will it offer?

“Lounge-like” seating, panoramic glass roof

As Skoda’s largest electric SUV to date, the Peaq is touted to have a spacious and “lounge-like” 7-seater cabin with a “clear, horizontal architecture”. This can be seen in elements such as the straight window line, which extends towards much of the third row, and the neat dashboard layout. A broad panoramic glass roof can be observed in the sketch as well.

The Peaq’s interior build quality follows a new ‘Lodge’ concept, which, according to Skoda, combines soft textile-based surfaces with “robust tactile elements”. Interior materials are also said to have “easy-care finishes” in the interest of practicality.

Skoda Peaq dashboard design

The Peaq will be the first Skoda model to be equipped with a freestanding vertically oriented infotainment touchscreen, which looks quite large. While physical controls are not quite visible in the design sketch – aside from what appears to be a trio of toggles on the centre console – Skoda says the Peaq will include them for climate control, volume settings and other basic vehicle functions.

The steering wheel is a two-spoke unit with the Skoda wordmark, and the dashboard features a “compact” digital driver’s display, a flat dash top, a floating centre console and a full-width design for the AC vents. An adjustable armrest, wireless charging pads and a fair number of storage spaces are included too. The front seats also have extended side bolsters, lending them a bucket-like look. Notably, the co-driver’s seat gets electrical adjustment and an ottoman (extendable thigh support).

Skoda Peaq battery and motor setup

RWD and AWD layouts, maximum claimed range of 600km

Skoda is expected to offer the Peaq with 63kWh and 91kWh battery options. The former will be paired with a rear-mounted motor developing up to 286hp, depending on the variant, while the larger battery will be wired to dual motors (AWD) producing a combined 299hp. The Peaq claims a maximum range of over 600km, a 10-80 percent DC charging time of 27-28 minutes and a top speed of up to 180kph, all depending on the variant.
