Skoda Peaq Sets 936 Km Electric SUV Range Record

Skoda Peaq Achieves 936 Km Range Record

Skoda Peaq has set a range record for seven-seat electric SUVs after covering 936 km on a single charge. The distance is 289 km, or nearly 45%, greater than the vehicle's official range of 647 km. The record demonstrates the potential for significantly higher real-world driving distances under specific operating conditions. The achievement was completed using a production Peaq 90 rather than a specially modified prototype, making the result directly relevant to the production vehicle. The result also highlights how vehicle configuration, aerodynamics, tire selection, and driving conditions can influence energy consumption and overall range.

Production Peaq 90 Specifications Supported the Record

The record-setting vehicle was a production Peaq 90 equipped with a 91 kWh battery, including 86 kWh of usable capacity, and a 210 kW powertrain with rear-wheel drive. It used 19-inch low-rolling-resistance tires, which contributed to the vehicle's efficiency during the journey. The SUV also has an aerodynamic design with a 0.249 drag coefficient, supporting reduced aerodynamic resistance at higher speeds. These specifications were retained on the production vehicle used for the record attempt. Together, the battery capacity, rear-wheel-drive configuration, tire characteristics, powertrain output, and aerodynamic design formed the technical basis for the 936 km journey.

Cross-Border Journey Covered Three Countries

The journey began in Mladá Boleslav in the Czech Republic, where the Peaq is produced at Skoda's main plant. From there, the vehicle traveled through Germany before completing the journey in Zandvoort, Netherlands. The production SUV covered the entire 936 km distance without recharging and recorded average energy consumption of 9.2 kWh/100 km. The route therefore demonstrated the vehicle's ability to maintain low energy consumption over a long-distance journey spanning multiple countries while relying solely on the energy stored in its battery at the start.

Peaq Combines Efficiency With Advanced Features

The Skoda Peaq is produced at the company's main manufacturing plant in Mladá Boleslav and incorporates several design and technology features. Its exterior includes flush door handles, while the cabin features a panoramic roof equipped with Dynamic Shade Control. The vehicle also supports bidirectional charging, adding functionality to its electric powertrain beyond conventional energy consumption. The combination of aerodynamic design, low-rolling-resistance tires, battery capacity, and charging technology reflects an approach focused on improving both driving efficiency and the broader functionality of the electric SUV platform. The 936 km record provides a notable demonstration of that efficiency in a production vehicle.
