“The new Škoda Peaq represents the pinnacle of our range in terms of comfort, spaciousness and technology, while its production also meets the most stringent standards of quality, efficiency and flexibility. Producing four models – three of them fully electric – on a single line clearly demonstrates the skill and versatility of our team in Mladá Boleslav. Thanks to the tremendous dedication shown by all our colleagues in carrying out the necessary modifications, we are exceptionally well prepared for the production of our new flagship.”
Andreas Dick, Škoda Auto Chief Production Officer
Production flexibility across two plants
The all-new Škoda Peaq is the fourth model currently built on the production line at the company’s main plant in Mladá Boleslav. Originally designed for combustion-engine vehicles, the line has since undergone extensive upgrades to accommodate fully electric models. The Enyaq was the first electric vehicle to enter production there in 2020, followed by the Elroq in January 2025 and now the Peaq.
The three fully electric models are built alongside the combustion-engine Octavia Combi. Since May this year, the Octavia Combi has also been produced at the Kvasiny plant, together with the Octavia liftback. This allows Škoda Auto to respond to market demand and disruptions to global supply chains by flexibly adjusting the production mix between Mladá Boleslav and Kvasiny.
The move has also freed up capacity at the Mladá Boleslav plant for increasingly popular electric vehicles, which accounted for almost 23% of all Škoda vehicles produced at the company’s Czech plants in the first half of 2026.
Production line adapted for the brand’s largest model
The Peaq is the largest vehicle Škoda Auto has produced since it joined the Volkswagen Group. Accommodating it on the existing line required significant engineering work: new, larger production skids were introduced to improve ergonomics and workplace safety, and a new manipulator was added to fit the third row of seats.
The press shop, body shop and paint shop all underwent targeted upgrades to maintain the smooth flow of materials throughout the production process. The Peaq shares the proven Modular Electric Drive Matrix (MEB) platform with the Enyaq and Elroq, enabling production synergies with both models already built in Mladá Boleslav.
Škoda’s largest electric SUV attracts strong customer interest
In its top specification, the new Peaq is equipped with the largest traction battery ever installed in a Škoda electric vehicle. The battery is also produced at the Mladá Boleslav plant. With a gross capacity of 91 kWh (86 kWh net), it enables a range of more than 640 kilometres. A 63 kWh version (59 kWh net) is also available. Customers can choose from three power outputs ranging from 150 kW to 220 kW, with either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.
At 4.87 metres long and with a wheelbase of almost three metres, the Peaq is Škoda’s largest and most spacious SUV and the brand’s first model in the large SUV segment. As Škoda’s new flagship SUV, the Peaq introduces several features new to the brand, including flush door handles, a panoramic roof with Dynamic Shade Control and bidirectional charging. Customer response has been positive, with almost 8,500 orders placed by the end of July.
Škoda doubles its electric vehicle portfolio with the Peaq and Epiq
Alongside the Peaq, the Czech carmaker has launched the Škoda Epiq, an entry-level urban crossover produced in Pamplona, Spain, under the Volkswagen Group’s Brand Group Core Electric Urban Car Family project.
The new models will help Škoda maintain its strong position in the European automotive market, where it ranked as the second-best-selling brand in the first half of this year.
