Safety features
The Škoda Peaq is all about safety without compromise. Besides the safety systems already described, the following features are available as standard or as options:
› Isofix and Top Tether anchorage points to fasten a child seat to the second-row outboard seats. Isofix is also available for the front-passenger seat.
› Unlike cruise control, which maintains a set speed, the speed limiter allows the driver to travel at any speed up to, but not more than, the predefined value.
› ABS keeps the wheels from locking during emergency braking or when braking on slippery surfaces.
› By increasing the braking pressure, the HBA braking assist helps drivers in situations where emergency braking is necessary. This can significantly reduce the braking distance required.
› EBD automatically optimises braking pressure and overall braking balance and prevents the rear wheels from overbraking.
› The ASR ensures smooth starting and acceleration without wheelspin on slippery surfaces.
› EDL helps when accelerating or driving uphill with low traction under one of the driven wheels.
› TSA operates when the vehicle is equipped with an original towing device with its own control unit. The system works by braking one or more wheels while simultaneously reducing motor torque as necessary. The TSA system intervenes and helps stabilise the car and the trailer.
› XDS+ helps the driver during sharp turns and ensures that the vehicle behaves neutrally during dynamic cornering. The control electronics essentially simulate the presence of a self-locking differential to improve traction and driving dynamics during turns. As a result, the vehicle takes bends much more assuredly and naturally.
› Tyre Pressure Monitoring TPM+ keeps the driver informed of the tyre pressure at all times.
› Flashing brake lights reduce the risk of rear-end impact, especially when approaching the traffic jams on motorways or braking suddenly in front of an unexpected obstacle.
Drive and steering
All-wheel drive
The electric motor mounted on the rear axle can be supplemented by a second electric motor on the front axle. This turns the Peaq into an all-wheel drive.
The 4X4 drive uses only slightly more energy than rear-wheel drive. This extra power consumption can mainly be attributed to the extra weight placed on the vehicle by the additional front motor. This all-wheel drive design is more energy efficient than the conventional arrangement with a centre inter-axle differential and universal joint.
Driving Mode Select
For maximum driving pleasure, the Peaq is fitted with Drive Mode Select. The car then offers several modes that change both the stiffness of the shock absorbers and other vehicle settings. Reconfiguring the car from a comfortable, relaxed mode to a dynamic, sporty setting is as easy as pressing a button.
Regenerative braking
Regenerative braking is a process where the vehicle’s kinetic energy is converted into electricity, which is then stored in the high-voltage battery. Therefore, it makes efficient use of energy and helps to increase the electric vehicle’s range by partially charging the battery on the way.
Regenerative braking takes place in various driving situations and has several modes that may be changed at any time. The intensity of the regenerative braking force can be set manually by the driver, or automatically by the car’s drive unit.
