The all-new Škoda Superb: More space and comfort, six efficient powertrains and innovative safety systems

With the all-new fourth generation, Škoda is once again setting standards in terms of design, roominess, comfort and safety. Further design and aerodynamic refinements have reduced fuel consumption while improving performance.

Three modern TSI petrol engines, including one with mild-hybrid technology, two diesels and a new plug-in hybrid powertrain with an electric range of more than 100 kilometres on the WLTP cycle deliver outputs ranging from 110 kW (150 hp) to 195 kW (265 hp).

The top diesel and the top petrol engine come with all-wheel drive. All powertrains in the new Superb are mated to a DSG automatic transmission as standard.

Furthermore, numerous new and improved assistance systems provide even more safety and comfort. The significantly brighter new-generation LED Matrix beam headlights and DCC Plus are making their debut in the Superb.

The fourth-generation Superb features a sculptural exterior design and a new, octagonal Škoda grille.

The all-new interior concept includes a free-standing infotainment display measuring up to 13 inches in size. The selector lever has moved to the steering column, enabling a clean, tidy and much roomier centre console.

In another first for the Superb, a head-up display is available as an option. The new Škoda Smart Dials provide quick and intuitive access to numerous vehicle and infotainment functions.

Moreover, the all-new Superb adopts the new range structure with Design Selections, first introduced with the Enyaq. This offers themed option packs as well as individual options. New features include a Phone Box with inductive 15-watt fast charging and simultaneous smartphone cooling, as well as back-friendly Ergo seats with ten pneumatically controlled massage cushions.

The electrically operated load cover in the Combi estate is one of several new (and a total of 28) Simply Clever features.

The Škoda Superb was launched in 2001 and more than 1.6 million have since rolled off the assembly lines.

The Superb has been produced in Kvasiny (Czech Republic), Solomonovo (Ukraine), Aurangabad (India) and Nanjing (China). Over the course of more than two decades it has won numerous international accolades and awards.

More than 30 of these came for the third Superb generation in 2016 alone, including the Red Dot Award for outstanding product design for the Superb Combi estate.

Between 2001 and 2008, Škoda delivered a total of 137,000 first-generation vehicles.

The second generation sold a total of 618,000 units from 2008 to 2015. In 2009, it became the first to offer an estate version of the Superb. The third-generation Superb was launched in 2015 and a total of 845,000 units have been produced to date.
