Notate Bene, the new Superb Greenline Combi does NOT have roof rails, why is that. A serious omission for an Estate car. I assume they are not available to be factory fitted as an extra?

Weight / air resistance .....perhaps

... saving a few quid ;-)

+1 every bit helps, which is why they are also lowered slightly.

Where is the source to state it does not have the rails ? the UK online config shows it with the black rails still

On the Skoda UK website, but make sure you look at pics of the GREENLINE Combi, and which show no roof rails. I find the latest site very difficult to navigate, and we UK persons are not even given performance information in miles or M P G. but litres used per X kilometres. Not helpful.

I've just checked the online configurator and configured a Greenline, the picture and spec both show roof rails from SE and upwards and the economy is shown in mpg. Which page were you looking at, maybe there's a page I've missed.

 

 

 

Acceleration 0-62 mph 11.1 s Fuel tank content 66 litres Fuel consumption - urban+ 64,2 mpg** Max. speed 128 mph Fuel consumption - combined+ 76,4 mpg** Fuel consumption - extra urban+ 83,1 mpg**

I have just used the config tool for a s, se, as BUSINESS and SE L , selected green line and all show the cars with roof rails .

Can you share a link ?

Cheers

There appears to be a shortage of chrome roof rails at present, and here in Ireland, the ambition spec is now being offered with black rails or none.  Also beige leather would appear to be in short supply, ( and this is possibly why, some cars which were ordered with beige, are being delivered with brown leather).

There appear to be more than one Skoda w/site. If you use the one at the bottom of a Briskoda page viz, Visit the  Official SKODA Website. you should land on one that shows Greenline Combi and with no roof rails, which I assume is the norm for that model. As I said in another post, I find the Skoda UK's sites very difficult to use, or find information?.
