What’s in a name? In the case of Skoda Superb, there are quite a lot of them. This is a car designed to live up to the expectations of its name, with quality that really lives up to the claims of the badge on the trunk.
If you are a history buff, the year 2024 is the 90th year since the first Superb was built. Skoda has had plenty of time to perfect its recipe. This is exemplified by the all-new Superb Estate, which offers a range of thoughtful and innovative features. Simple and clever, featuring cutting-edge AI and plug-in hybrid technology, it makes driving easier and more enjoyable. So let’s take a closer look at what makes the Superb worthy of its name.
Great design
The sophisticated styling of this elegant estate makes it the most aerodynamic Skoda ever built, with a wind drag coefficient of just 0.25. This benefits fuel efficiency and noise reduction. With its streamlined silhouette, extended rear spoiler, sculpted side mirrors, and optimized air intakes, the Superb simply glides. It also features electronically operated shutters behind the grille that adjust airflow to optimize efficiency.
Moving inside, you’ll find an uncluttered and luxurious interior design with a powerful 13-inch central touchscreen infotainment display, plus safe, convenient, and intuitive controls for heating, ventilation, audio volume, and drive modes. Complemented by smart dial.
Sustainable materials are used throughout, with all textiles containing recycled polyester, leather tanned using wastewater from olive oil production, and faux leather or cloth depending on your preference. You can also choose upholstery.
Great practicality
Whether you’re sitting up front or in the back, the Superb Estate offers plenty of space to accommodate passengers of all sizes and their luggage. Boot capacity reaches up to 690 liters with the rear seats in place, or almost triples to 1,920 liters with the rear seats folded. Additionally, the Superb is packed with additional ingenious storage solutions as part of Škoda’s Simply Clever ethos.
A suite of advanced driver assistance systems built around a new nano-radar sensor array ensures safety on every journey. This next-generation technology can sense hazards, spot cyclists and pedestrians, alert you to danger, and even apply the brakes if necessary.
Other highlights include Park Assist with remote control functionality and a Trailer Assist system to make towing less stressful.
Excellent technology
The all-new Superb is always connected, so built-in navigation not only uses up-to-date online maps but can also calculate routes based on live traffic information. You can receive over-the-air updates to ensure your vehicle’s software is always up to date.
It also comes with your own personal voice assistant, Lola, which revolutionizes the way Škoda helps you. Chat GPT Laura responds almost instantly to complex commands and questions.
The 13-inch infotainment interface allows you to control a vast array of functions, from audio entertainment and navigation to detailed vehicle setup. Everyday essential functions are covered with smart dials designed with safety in mind so you can keep your eyes on the road.
