“With the new ŠKODA Superb Combi, we have further developed the existing strengths of the Superb and once again set a benchmark for the competition. With its expressive, dynamic design, we are emphasising and complimenting ŠKODA’s expertise in the estate segment,” said Dr Frank Welsch, ŠKODA Board Member for Technical Development. “The combination of aesthetics, top-of-the range technology and the highest practical benefits makes the new Superb Combi an outstanding vehicle within its segment. With the new flagship, we will attract new customers to our brand.”
ŠKODA has offered an estate version of its top model, the ŠKODA Superb, since 2009. To date, ŠKODA has delivered more than 200,000 ŠKODA Superb Combis to customers worldwide. This represents 35 percent of all ŠKODA Superbs sold in the period from 2009 to now.
The new ŠKODA Superb Combi offers the best interior space in its segment. Based on MQB technology, the wheelbase has been extended by 80 mm to 2,841 mm. Simultaneously the track width has increased to 1,584 mm at the front and to 1,572 mm at the rear. The result: even more interior space. In the latest edition, driver and passenger have 39 mm more elbow room than before. Headroom in the front is 995 mm and 1,001 mm in the rear – more than in any other model in the segment. Rear knieroom is 157 mm – around twice as much as the next-best competitor. Elbow room in the rear has been increased by 70 mm. The boot volume also sets a new benchmark: 660 litres, representing an increase of 27 litres compared to the previous model. When the back seats are folded down, the spacious giant’s boot volume reaches an impressive 1,950 litres. The ŠKODA Superb Combi achieves values only otherwise achieved in the upper mid-segment.
The new and exciting design of the new ŠKODA Superb Combi makes a powerful statement. The design is more passionate, modern and emotionally charged than ever before. Hardly any other representative in the mid-size estate segment offers as much dynamic elegance as the new flagship of ŠKODA.
The use of MQB also plays a central role when it comes to styling: the longer wheelbase, the shortened front overhang as well as the widened track provide balanced proportions and create the car’s extremely dynamic and sporty impression. In combination with increased vehicle length, a long wheelbase, shortened front overhang, a sweeping roof line and a steeply angled rear window, the silhouette evolves as a stylistically confident, perfect entity. The front and rear are expressive and unmistakable.
The new ŠKODA Superb Combi comes with a veritable armada of new assistance systems from higher vehicle classes for increased safety, eco-friendliness and comfort. Like the Superb hatchback, the new Superb Combi also features Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC). Thanks to the new EU6 engines, the latest edition is more powerful and at the same time up to 30 percent more efficient than its predecessor. Connectivity reaches a new level of quality: the latest generation of infotainment systems automatically connects to all standard smartphones via SmartLink (MirrorLinkTM, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto* technology). The optional high-speed internet connection turns the new Superb Combi into a ŠKODA hotspot on wheels.
In September, the new ŠKODA Superb Combi will celebrate its premiere at the 66th International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt am Main in Germany. The new model will be launched onto the first markets in the same month.
*The future availability of CarPlay and Android Auto technology is generally at the discretion of Apple and Google. The release dates and communications regarding these issues are subject to regional variation.
