› Refined flagship ICE model: distinguished new look, more advanced aerodynamics
› More space and comfort: roomier, clean interior design featuring sustainable materials, intuitive Škoda Smart Dials and infotainment with AI-based chatbot ChatGPT
› Larger powertrain portfolio: premiere of mild-hybrid technology and new-generation plug in hybrid drive with up to 120 kilometres of all-electric range for the Combi estate, with a Hatch version to follow later on
› Even safer: innovative assistance systems, new generations of LED Matrix beam headlights and Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC Plus)
Mladá Boleslav, 28 August 2024 – Škoda’s flagship ICE model enters a new generation: the all-new Superb has seen its dimensions increased once more and presents itself with a smartly evolved look and a wide range of new technologies. With a choice of six modern powertrain variants and improved aerodynamics, it is more efficient than ever. The powertrain line-up with outputs ranging from 110 kW (150 hp) to 195 kW (265 hp) includes a plug-in-hybrid with an all-electric range of up to 120 kilometres and a 1.5 TSI with mild-hybrid technology, a first for the Superb. With the new generation, the sleek Hatch will in due course also offer both types of hybrid technology, just like the practical Combi estate. The new, clean and spacious interior makes even more use of sustainable materials and comes with a particularly intuitive control concept that includes Škoda Smart Dials and ChatGPT.
“Our customers are our priority, and we listened intently to their wishes while developing the next generation of our flagship ICE model. The result is a product that delivers more value in terms of features, user experience, and comfort. The all-new Superb not only provides additional space but also introduces new electrified powertrains. It is easier to use thanks to our new Škoda Smart Dials and a voice control system soon to be further improved through the integration of the AI chatbot ChatGPT. More extensive connectivity and new assistance systems round off this evolution to perfection.”
Klaus Zellmer, Chairman of the Board of Škoda Auto
Exterior design with LED Matrix beam headlights, new Modern Solid design elements and improved aerodynamics
The new Superb comes with a distinctive, octagonal radiator grille and sharply drawn LED Matrix beam headlights that deliver even more light than their predecessors and include the new Crystallinium design element. The LED Matrix beam headlights are available on the Superb for the first time. The optional LED rear lights with animated indicators feature a Coming/Leaving Home function (standard on L&K and Sportline). Other visual highlights include exterior details in Unique Dark Chrome, for example the logo on the bonnet and the lettering on the tailgate. The sleek-bodied Hatch offers a drag coefficient of cd 0.23, one of the best in the volume segment, while the Superb Combi estate is the most aerodynamic Škoda estate car ever, at cd 0.25. Compared to the predecessor, the drag coefficient has been reduced by 15 per cent for both body styles.
New interior: 13-inch display, a clean centre console and more luggage space
The interior of the Superb features a free-standing infotainment display measuring up to 13 inches and a clean centre console, as the selector lever has moved to the steering column. A head-up display is available as an option for the first time. The Škoda Smart Dials and the voice assistant Laura, complemented by ChatGPT, make light work of controlling numerous vehicle and infotainment functions, and providing information that goes beyond the car’s ecosystem. New elements include the ventilated Phone Box for inductive smartphone fast-charging at up to 15 watts, as well as back-friendly Ergo seats with ten pneumatically controlled massage cushions. The new range structure with Design Selections offers themed option packages and individual options. With a luggage capacity of 645 litres, the boot size of the Hatch has increased by 20 litres over the predecessor. The new Superb Combi estate can hold up to 690 litres.
Wider range of powertrains than ever before, further enhanced comfort and safety
The six modern, efficient powertrains also include a new-generation plug-in hybrid currently featured only in the Superb Combi iV. This will become available for the Hatch as well at a later date. The 1.5 TSI engine is combined with an electric motor and provides a system output of 150 kW (204 hp), offering an electric range of up to 120 kilometres on the WLTP cycle. Moreover, the 1.5 TSI is also available with mild-hybrid technology – a first for the Superb. In addition, there are also two other petrol engines as well as two diesel units on offer. Their respective top variants (195 kW/265 hp and 142 kW/193 hp) come with all‑wheel drive as standard. The latest‑generation Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC Plus), available on the Superb for the first time, blends comfort and driving dynamics.
Heritage: new Superb primed to add a new chapter to the success story
The all-new Superb is produced at the Volkswagen Group plant in the Slovak capital, Bratislava. This move is part of the Beta+ project, aimed at leveraging synergies in the production network and further boosting efficiency within the Brand Group Core. The fourth-generation Superb is set to build on the success of its predecessors. Škoda offered the first modern model generation in 2001. In the third modern generation, the estate body style took off. The biggest markets (excluding China) for the third-generation Superb Hatch in the period 2015 ‑ 04/2024 were Turkey, Poland and the Czech Republic. The biggest markets for the third-generation Superb Combi estate from 2015 to April 2024 were Germany, the Czech Republic and Great Britain. Since 2001 more than 1,600,000 Superb models have been delivered to customers.
