Fresh reports of the Facelift and Hybrid Superb : https://www.autoevolution.com/news/new-skoda-octavia-confirmed-for-2019-debut-along-with-superb-facelift-and-phev-133161.html

Couldn't agree more

Ye man I think it is just you and me on here looking for a firm update to when the FL will be released

Absolutely nada from the Geneva motor show on the Superb facelift ☹️

Spoke to a dealer yesterday. They reckon the FL will be premiered next month at the Geneva motor show and will be available for order end of April/start of May

All wheel drive, combined 250bhp and using a 1.5 tsi engine for the hybrid? Not sure how accurate that is from earlier reports right?

So this is now on option in Ireland - woohoo!

My only bug bear with the sportline seats is that you still cannot get both seats with electric controls and lumbar support (passenger seat is manual control only).

Pics of it in place please.

Yes I agree. Right now my 280 sits way closer to 3k revs than 2k at 70mph so the 7 speed should help with this a bit.

Hi there. My car is registered April 2017 and I have keyless entry / KESSY.

Does anyone know if the 2.0 TSI 140 kW is confirmed for the uk and Ireland? It says that engine is coming kw48 on page one of this thread. When is kw48? Cheers!

I thought the new head units were supposed to have better integration :(

I wonder however is that just the built in sat nav maps that can be displayed on the digital dash or will the Android auto / Apple carplay maps also have the ability to display?

The 1.5 TSI 4x4 I'm guessing will not be available for the Superb right?

Ye so will the car need to be run for long distances for the GPF to regen is what I would like to know. I rarely do long distances these days.

Will the hybrid use the 1.4 or 1.5tsi does anyone know?

I've done 12600km in mine and average 22mpg!

I totally agree. I don't rate the bi-xenon lights in my sportline much.

A hybrid engine with 200+ hp would be very interesting indeed.

Is that for the facelift model release or the next model year revision? Curious where did you source the info from?

So when do people speculate the facelift will be available to order? I'm hearing rumours from July/August 2018 to Jan/Feb 2019. In terms of technology upgrades I'm hoping for LED / upgraded headlights, the audi virtual cockpit upgrade and I hope to goodness they have the option of electric front passenger seat this time around.

It is harsh going from 280 to 150bhp I will admit but more and more I'm driving the car like it has 150bhp especially considering I'm in the car for about a grand total of about 1-1.5 hours a week. In Ireland the only petrol models available are the 1.4 and the 2.0 (280bhp model).

Interesting points kpk1 the dilemma I have is I already have as superb so if I change now I get the current model (which is fine I have very little negative points to state about it) but with the 1.4 TSI or if I wait 11 months or so I get the face-lift with newer tech and stop myself squirming each time I see a face-lift when it is released

I'm not sure I get the point about volume. Are you guys saying that the newer tech engines are going to go into the higher volume selling cars first and then other models in time or newer tech engines will only go into higher volume sellers? Cheers
