Škoda Auto’s Peaq press kit, dated 21 September on Storyboard, is the production brief for the brand’s largest battery SUV: a car designed to take seven adults, with a third row listed as an option on a five-seat standard layout. Škoda UK’s own Peaq range page prints on-the-road prices from £51,980 for the SE L 90. That is a battery-electric flagship. It is not a plug-in hybrid, and it is not the Kodiaq iV. AM-Online carried the same £51,980 entry figure when UK pricing was first confirmed in June, so the pound ladder is not a one-outlet leak.
Storyboard’s FAQ is explicit about the first cars. Deliveries start in Germany, Austria and Slovenia in early October, then other markets. Škoda UK lists the five-rung OTR table — SE L 90 £51,980, Edition 90 £55,130, Edition 90x £57,230, SportLine 90 £58,280, SportLine 90x £60,380 — and a UK range claim of up to 395 miles with 10 to 80 percent DC in 28 minutes. The same UK page still carries a “not yet open for order” note for Peaq (and Epiq) even while advertising a free Relax Package on Edition and SportLine orders placed 20 August to 30 September. We are treating the OTR ladder and the early-October Central Europe handover as confirmed by the manufacturer; we are not treating British showrooms as already handing over cars this week.
Powertrain numbers need two labels. Storyboard’s table gives three factory variants: Peaq 60 (63 kWh gross, over 450 km, 150 kW, rear-wheel drive), Peaq 90 (91 kWh gross, over 640 km, 210 kW), and Peaq 90x (same 91 kWh pack, over 610 km, 220 kW, two motors). UK retail copy we used only prices 90 and 90x. GetEVCar already lists those two. The live Peaq 90 (2026) card is 86 kWh, 647 km, 210 kW, 199 kW DC, United Kingdom Available, SE L 90 MY27. The Peaq 90x (2026) is 86 kWh, 613 km, 220 kW, 199 kW DC, also UK Available. The 86 kWh on those cards is not the 91 kWh gross figure in the press kit; we are not converting one into the other. Škoda UK’s priced list is 90 and 90x only, so we are not inventing a Peaq 60 listing.
Shoppers who want a Škoda battery SUV they can already compare on this directory should start on the Škoda hub and the UK market page. The compact Elroq 85 (2026) is 77 kWh, 576 km, 210 kW, 165 kW DC, United Kingdom Available. The Enyaq 85 (2026) is 77 kWh, 583 km, United Kingdom Available. The smaller Epiq (2025) is on the same brand page at 55 kWh / 430 km, but its UK row is still Announced — Storyboard presents Epiq as the other half of the “doubled” electric portfolio; it is not a Peaq substitute on sale in Britain today. All of those cars sit on the battery-electric list under SUVs.
Plug-in hybrids are a different shopping list. Škoda’s live petrol-electric pages include the Kodiaq iV (2026) — 19.7 kWh, about 122 km electric, 11 kW AC, 40 kW DC, 150 kW combined, United Kingdom Available — and the Superb iV (2026) wagon at 19.7 kWh and about 135 km electric, also UK Available. Those cars charge and still have an engine. They belong on the plug-in hybrid list, not under /car. Calling the Peaq a “hybrid SUV” because Škoda also sells those iV models would be the wrong taxonomy.
What we are not claiming: a UK first-delivery week (Storyboard’s October window is Germany, Austria and Slovenia); a United States or UAE Peaq sticker (neither market is on the live Peaq 90 card); that 395 UK miles equals the 647 km directory figure as one test; that 91 kWh gross is the 86 kWh on our spec sheet; or that a Peaq 60 page exists. Volkswagen’s ID. Cross, now in series production at Navarra per Volkswagen’s 18 September Spanish note, is a separate compact battery SUV — our ID. Cross (2026) card is United Kingdom Announced, and VW Germany’s Trend from €27,995 is not a British OTR. Competitive plug-in news in site markets today is a UK broker lease on a Seal 6 Touring, not a manufacturer launch; Malaysia’s Jetour T2 i-DM and Australia’s GWM Cannon Hi4-T sit outside UAE, US, and UK coverage.
