ŠKODA today announces that the new Superb will start from £18,640 when UK sales start later this year. The flagship of the ŠKODA range, the new Superb features a striking new design, greater efficiency and more safety systems than ever before. And, thanks to ŠKODA’s legendary value for money, the new version has an even lower entry price point than the outgoing model.

 

• All-new Superb to start from £18,640 when sales start later this year
• Striking new design, advanced technology and even higher comfort levels
• Larger passenger compartment than previous model plus 1,760-litre boot
• Weight savings of up to 75kg improves efficiency

Reflecting its position as ŠKODA’s flagship model, the Superb introduces a host of technology features – many of which appear on a ŠKODA for the first time. These include a clever Virtual pedal system that opens the boot with just the wave of a foot under the rear bumper, full integration of Apple and Android smartphones via CarPlay, MirrorLink and Google Android Auto. Safety and convenience features include Blind spot detection, Rear traffic alert, third-generation Park assist and Traffic jam assist.

 

At 4,861mm long and 1864mm wide, the new Superb is 28mm longer and 47mm wider than its predecessor, while the 2841mm wheelbase is 80mm longer, allowing for greater space within the passenger compartment. The boot is 30 litres larger than before, at 625 litres, expanding to a cavernous 1,760 litres with the rear seat backs folded. Despite the increased size, the new ŠKODA Superb is up to 75kg lighter than its predecessor, thanks in part to weight-saving measures made available by the car’s advanced MQB construction.

 

More information, including UK specifications and engine range will follow shortly.

Excellent, not that I will change for a few years yet.

I'm very interested in changing to the new car, but pricing is probably going to affect my decision making.
