I have been looking on Skoda-auto.de for information on the options available on the new Superb.

From what I can understand these are some of the options available on the new Superb.

I've taken the German prices converted to sterling and rounded up, they are just as an idea and not confirmed by Skoda UK yet. Park assist does not seem to be an option in Germany but I imagine it will be between £400 and £750 over here.

6CD Autochanger in boot- approx £260

Heated rear seats- approx £185

Heated front seats- approx £185

Electric solar sunroof- approx £870

Electric glass sunroof- approx £680

Rear airbags- approx £230

10 speaker upgrade- approx £230

Sport suspension- approx £170

Bluetooth phone system- approx £230

Front and rear parking sensors - approx £300

Hill-hold and TPM - approx £120

Rain sensor - approx £130

The colour choice is:-

Candy White

Pacific Blue

Amazon Green Metallic

Anthracite Grey Metallic

Black Magic Pear effect

Brilliant Silver Metallic

Brunello Red Metallic

Cappuccino Beige Metallic

Mocca Brown Metallic

Steel Grey Metallic

Satin Grey Metallic

Storm Blue Metallic

What a shame, no tangerine.....

There where quite a few other options that I couldn't understand, I think one of them is a towbar and the other might be adaptive cruise control. But not really 100%.

Hope someone finds this useful. I was only looking to try and find out how much park assist was going to be, but ended up looking into the whole lot.

Why no Fab 1 pink metallic with 20 inch black evostars?

20" wheels....

Hmm... Wonder if they'll ever make a Superb vRS. If it was ridiculously fast and just under £30k it might actually sell. Maybe cram the old 4.2 V8 Bi-Turbo out of the RS6 into the new car. 450bhp would make it go quite nicely.

The 3.6 4X4 Elegance is the fastest road-going Skoda to date - 0-62MPH in 6.6 seconds (Octy 2.0 vRS= 7.3),and top speed limited to 155MPH (Octy 2.0 vRS =149MPH).

Wonder what it would do without the limiter.............

In Germany parkassist is an option.

The rear parksensors are std, the front will cost you 300€ extra and the front ones incl parkassist just 390€.

390e for front & rear sensors and park assist??

Wow, I was expecting it to be at least £500 over here.

I spoke to the Skoda press office about Park Assist pricing, and they told me it will be at most £500. I'm guessing that this would be the price on the 'S', as it doesn't have any parking sensors as standard. Given that VW charge £450, where the car has no sensors as standard, this sounds about right.

On cars where rear sensors are already standard, VW charge £350, so hopefully this should also apply on the SE and Elegance models in the Superb.

Have to rectify a bit.

We have different names to the packages.

So if the car doesn't have any parksensors, the rear ones will cost you 330€.

The optional front ones (always an option, even in our ambition and elegance, and no option for the comfort and greenline packs) will cost 300€.

And the optional front ones including parkassist 390€.

So the parkassist will only cost you 90€ more, if you already wanted front and rear parksensors.

I suspect that the option prices in the UK will, yet again, be higher than our neighbours in the rest of Europe. Local taxation aside, we still seem to get stitched over a lot of things.

I'll wait to see if Skoda surprise us all, but I doubt it.

Still, I'd be happy paying £350 for Park Assist, but I'd rather pay less.
