Skoda has unveiled its new flagship electric SUV, the all-new Peak, which expands the brand’s EV portfolio while setting new standards for space, comfort and technology. Positioned at the top of Skoda’s all-electric lineup, the Peak combines a spacious seven-seat configuration with a driving range of over 640 kilometres, making it the brand’s most capable electric vehicle to date.
With a length of 4.87 meters and a wheelbase of almost three metres, the Peak is the largest SUV ever offered by Skoda and marks the company’s entry into the large electric SUV segment. The generous dimensions translate into an extremely spacious cabin designed to easily accommodate families and long distance travel.
The main focus of the new flagship is comfort. Customers can opt for the Relax package, which further enhances occupant comfort, while the available Sonos premium audio system is designed to create a lounge-like in-cabin experience. The SUV is equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced features, including LED matrix headlights and the latest Travel Assist 3.0 driver assistance technology.
The Peak introduces a number of new technologies and design elements to the Czech automaker. Flush door handles make their debut on the Skoda model, while the panoramic roof features Dynamic Shade Control, allowing occupants to adjust the level of transparency for improved comfort and convenience.
Skoda has also focused on increasing the practicality and efficiency of the vehicle. Features like one-pedal driving and bidirectional charging support everyday utility, while enabling owners to use the vehicle as an energy source when needed.
Commenting on the launch, Skoda Auto CEO Klaus Zellmer said that the Peak represents an important milestone for the brand and its future direction. “The Peak represents a new reference point for Skoda as our brand flagship, bringing together our core strengths in a way that reflects where we are going as a company. It expands our appeal to new customer groups, while continuing to offer the qualities our customers deserve, including space, practicality and strong value for money,” Zellmer said.
He said the Peak will play a central role in expanding Skoda’s electric vehicle portfolio, giving customers greater flexibility to choose between different powertrain options depending on their individual needs.
With a combination of long-range capability, advanced technology, premium comfort and family-friendly practicality, the new Peak is set to become a cornerstone of Skoda’s electrification strategy and a key offering for customers seeking a large electric SUV.
Martin Jahn, Member of the Skoda Auto Board of Sales and Marketing, said: “With its long range, safety and connectivity features, the Peak is designed to excite both families looking for new adventures and managers on long business trips. The combination of space and comfort makes it feel like a lounge on wheels, under the largest panoramic roof ever built. The Peak is also highly anticipated by our Skoda dealers, as it completes our BEV lineup from above and attracting new customer groups. Overall, the Peak adds a new chapter to the Skoda story, taking our brand to the next level, we can proudly say: this is the ultimate Peak!”
Johannes Neft, Skoda Auto Board Member for Technical Development, said: “With the new Peak we are introducing cutting-edge technologies to our portfolio. It brings together our most advanced assistance systems, connectivity and comfort features. Travel Assist 3.0, Top Area View 360°, and the new premium sound system developed in close cooperation with Sonos are just some examples of how our customers benefit from advanced technologies that Making everyday driving even more enjoyable.”
The all-new Peak is Skoda’s first all-electric model in the large SUV segment, making it the electrified counterpart of the combustion-engined Kodiaq, yet bigger and more spacious.
