Software update required
No, still waiting. Collected mk4 L&K estate mid December when it was promised as an update. All good except that. Loading the boot and accidentally my foot strayed under the car. Rear hatch closed and I discovered the auto-stop-on-obstacle works. Obstacle being me.

Time setting
Noticed that the time in my Superb MY25 was correct digits but am instead of pm. Went to Vehicle-Settings-DateTime and corrected it. Had to set Auto to Manuel in order to do so. Clicked back to Auto and the pm changed to am. Repeated my action in case of User error, but no, on Auto Time it set the clock 12 hours out. Anybody else got this?

Has anyone purchased a 2025 Skoda Superb and experienced a malfunction?
I collected my Superb L&K estate hybrid in December 2024. No problems with it very pleased with the car. Just be aware of the violent Pedestrian Detection. It is like hitting a brick wall.

Software failure not so Superb
I collected my Superb PHEV estate late December 2024 and had a couple of charging issues with it in the early days which turned out to be operator error. Now I understand the charging to 80% setting all is fine. Nothing but pleasure from this car. Much better than the Citroen PHEV I had previously. Charging to 80% I get 50 miles range so I am sure the Skoda claim of 62 miles is right with 100% charging. Some say restricting the charge to 80% only applies to full EV cars not hybrids. Skoda battery management is great with the petrol engine kicking in to assist the battery when needed. I have 2500 miles on the clock at an average of 101mpg. The Emergency Brake Assist is too violent as others have noted on this forum. If it thinks there is danger of hitting something the brakes come on WALLOP and the seat belt tightens. Had it happen when car detected a speed bump, too much safety. Love the car and I hope you go with it.

New Superb Mk4 estate owner
Hi Cedwing, I only use the built in maps. I hope that was not another free upgrade that only came after midnight on a certain day and I missed it.☹️

You appear to have the route planer working on the virtual cockpit. A feature that has not been actuated on the 2025 model. On th right hand dial I can get a compass and when th main screen is in route planner mode I get directions in place of the compass but never a map picture as you have.

Remote Park Assist - 2025 Model Year
Interesting, Thanks Scott. OK. Practically Remote Park is of little use but I still feel aggrieved that I bought what I considered the flagship model only to find I am one lifeboat short. Apart from not having a means to charge as I am driving as I had with my previous Citroen 5X I am loving every feature of the Superb estate.

Remote Park Assist - 2025 Model Year
The tenth letter in my VIN. Is S but my steering wheel logo is the Skoda arrow. My build was 14 November 2024.

Remote Park Assist - 2025 Model Year
Cedwing, we collected our cars about the same time in Dec 2024 but I do not have the Remote Parking on my app. The lowest option on the Car page is remote heating. I have the PHEV ut why should that make a difference.

Rear camera quality
Rear camera quality very poor on Superb L&K estate new in December 2024. Previous car was Citroen 5x with excellent rear graphics on a car half the price of my Superb. Wake up Skoda.

Driver assist - Front assist (automatic braking) over sensitive
New to me too. I find it reassuring that the car gives you a cuddle as it sets off.

Driver assist - Front assist (automatic braking) over sensitive
Terry this is Emergency Braking Assist. I have also had it activate when not expected. There is a thread on this but it appears that on the Mk3 the sensitivity could be adjusted but not on the Mk 4. I agree, quite frightening when it happens.

Driver assist - Front assist (automatic braking) over sensitive
Too much sensitivity on the Emergency Braking for me. Approaching a central refuge with a pedestrian waiting in it. As I neared the refuge the pedestrian moved to get a better view of traffic behind me and WHAM on go the brakes ferociously. I have also had this horrible experience on a speed hump coming out of the dealers where I bought the car. It is more than heavy braking, it feels like hitting something solid. Ridiculous that there is no way to adjust it.

Free Gift
I went out for a new car with a short list of a Peugeot 508 tourer or a Superb estate. Richmonds Botley were my first port of call and I never went on to Peugeot dealer. It all looked good but the deal clincher was the retractable tow bar.

Free Gift
Interesting, we nearly met. I collected mine 16 december from Botley. It was a new model to Mark my sales guy and the included warning triangle in the boot was new to him.

Free Gift
When I collected my L&K estate in December this little feller came with it. Was it a Christmas gift or did every one with an L&K get one. His name tag identifies him as Klement.
