Skoda Peaq Electric Three-Row Sport Utility Vehicle Sets Very Specific Record
TÜV SÜD supervised the run as the stock 91 kWh SUV averaged 9.2 kWh per 100 km, officials said.
- A team of drivers pushed the pure-electric Skoda Peaq seven-seat SUV 936km from the company's Mlad Boleslav headquarters in Czechia to the Netherlands, setting a new range record for the vehicle class.
- Skoda employees Marek and Jakub Krs managed the run by selecting an optimal route and adapting their driving style to maximize efficiency, aiming to address 'range anxiety' concerns among potential EV buyers.
- Supervised by a certification authority, the stock Peaq 90 achieved an average energy use of 9.2kWh/100km, utilizing a 91kWh battery and a drag-coefficient of 0.249 that assisted during the distance attempt.
- While the Peaq has a WLTP-rated range of 647 kilometres, the 91kWh battery provided an additional 289km during the test; Skoda notes customers are unlikely to achieve these hypermiling results in everyday driving.
- The seven-seat SUV is expected to arrive in Australia in 2027, likely costing above $80,000 to compete with the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Kia EV9 in the three-row EV market.
