Exterior

Dateless elegance without fashion excesses
Representative appearance, unmistakable face of the Škoda vehicles and balanced proportion of the classic three-sectional body with gradually receding back – that’s the Superb, a vehicle in the higher middle class category. The dateless design without fashion excesses is a guarantee that the vehicle shall not lose its attractive appearance even after a longer period of time.
The front part of the vehicle is dominated by the typical mask, framed in expressive chroming with the large Škoda emblem, which points to the long and rich history of the brand. Thanks to its dimensions, the mask has a very self-confident and ambitious impact. The massive clear headlights and integrated fog lights and the whole front bumper further accentuate this impression.
From the side view, decent chrome strips on the upper frames of the windows stand out (from the Comfort versions, they are also installed on the bottom frames). The rear doors are the largest that we have ever used on a Škoda vehicle. Their dimensions are really imposing, getting into and out of the vehicle thus becomes easy. The basic Classic version is also already equipped with tinted windows, the windscreen is moreover decorated with a protective green strip against sunlight. The light alloy wheels also give the vehicle a predatory and charming appearance.


Interior

The interior of the Škoda Superb is so spacious that you can easily get lost. It provides maximum comfort and safety to all the passengers. The imposing size of the interior is, however, not the only reason why travelling in the Superb is so comfortable. A number of witty details take care of you.
The dominant element in the interior is the dashboard with ergonomically shaped steering wheel (leather from the Comfort version). The wide centre console already in the standard Classic version offers mechanical air-conditioning. The large display of the navigation system with TV tuner comfortably fits beside it. All the controls are positioned in such a way that they are always within reach. The decorative fine materials finish that you find, not only on the centre console, but also the door panels or the frames of the air vents create a pleasant sense of luxury. In the Classic version, this concerns the Volcano black lacquer finish; in higher equipment categories you find the Nicro matte metallic finish or the exclusive Vavona wood finish. The upper section of the dashboard is always in Black Onyx colour. The colour of the lower section may be combined with the colour of the chosen upholstery to ensure that everything suits your taste.

In each part of the interior you find a lot of good and original ideas. An excellent example may be the folding back of the front passenger’s seat, which serves as a leg support for the passenger in the rear. What about the, so-called, WetCase, containing an umbrella in the left rear door, designed in such a way that the water from the wet umbrella flows out of the vehicle? The driver and passengers shall appreciate the comfortable elbow rest between the seats, which covers the, so-called, Travel-Box, an air-conditioned storage compartment, which keeps drinks and food cold even on long journeys. Do you still need proof of the uniqueness of the Superb?

Equipment


The flagship of the Škoda brand offers overwhelming space for the passengers and maximum comfort and convenience even on the longest journeys. You may at your own discretion select one of three equipment versions and a big array of options.

If you need a representative and spacious vehicle and you do not insist on maximum equipment, the Classic version is the right choice for you. This model will already offer you air-conditioning, electric windows and door mirrors or side airbags for the driver and front passenger. The electronic systems ABS and EDS (optionally also ASR and MSR) will take care of driving safety in all circumstances.

The higher equipment variant, the version Comfort is characterised mainly by 16“ alloy wheels and chrome strips on the upper and lower edges of the window frames. The door mirrors are electrically adjustable, separately heated, moreover they are equipped with Boarding Spots lights for getting in. In the interior, you will find Climatronic air-conditioning, electrically heated seats, head airbags or the small leather package and leather steering wheel.

Elegance without compromises, the elegance is for the demanding customers – Superb Elegance. Bolid alloy wheels dominate the body with bi-xenon headlights, chrome strips on the window frames and side chrome protective strips. The door mirror has a memory, just like the electrically adjustable driver’s seat. Vavona wood decoration in the interior, air-conditioning, heating of front and rear seats, cruise control or radio with CD-player and eight speakers are only a fraction of the extensive offer of basic equipment.


Safety

Emphasis on and care for the safety of the crew is always first with us. The flagship of the Škoda brand must not be an exception and sets the example for many competitor vehicles in terms of active and passive safety elements.

The basic variant of the Classic version is already equipped with and in front. Each Superb vehicle is equipped with in rear and to ensure optimum protection in the area of the cervical spine.

We also think about the children. For safe travel of children, the vehicle is equipped with systemfor fixture of child safety seats. The fixture points for child seat are firm parts of the body and are at the same time properly hidden in the seat upholstery. You can rely on ISOFIX; it is currently considered the safest in its branch.


The basis of safety is, however, mainly the extraordinarily firm body with adequate deformation zones, triple braces in the doors and thresholds, and a modern advanced chassis, which guarantees excellent riding characteristics. Efficient disc brakes on all wheels take care of safe braking of the vehicle. The drive train is installed in such a way that it is pushed downwards in case of gross deformation and thus prevent its penetration into the interior of the vehicle.

The essential electronic systems substantially contribute to ensuring safe and comfortable travel in all conditions. All the basic variants of the vehicles have ABS and EDS; some of the engines in addition have ASR and MSR. ESP is an option (standard for the V6 2.8 and 2.5TDI engine versions), which contains other riding stability systems.


Engines & Technology

We offer you a selection of six modern engines for the Superb, which will surprise you in terms of fuel economy and extended service intervals.

Three of them are petrol engines: The 6-cylinder V6 2.8 30V is the most powerful engine, which Škoda Auto has manufactured in the last sixty years – it has a power of 142 kW (193 bhp). The next are the 24V, 4-cylinder, 1.8T/110 kW and the 2.0/85 kW engines.

Three TDI engines uphold the extraordinary reputation and popularity of diesel engines. It still applies that a vehicle with this marking has minimum fuel consumption, is reliable and at the same time adequately dynamic. The offer consists of a modern and dynamic 6-cylinder, 2.5 TDI, 120 kW engine and engines 1.9 TDI/77 kW and 2,0 TDI PD/103 kW with pump-nozzle technology. The pump is integrated in the cylinder head where it injects fuel under high pressure. The result is, among other things, increase in the performance parameters of the engine and lower fuel consumption. All the engines meet the EU4 standards.

All the Superb engines have EOBD. This checks the equipment that has an influence on the content of the exhaust gases. If the values are out of tolerance, the light on the dashboard warns the driver and informs him that he must visit a service centre. The cause is stored in error memory, which speeds up remedy of the problem.

Depending on the engine, the Superb is equipped with a five- or six-speed gearbox. For both 6-cylinder engines, but also for the 1.8T, an automatic Tiptronic transmission is available. The intelligent electronics adapt to your driving change style and in case of need makes it possible to switch to manual mode without the clutch pedal functions.

The chassis guarantees precise and easy control of the vehicle, mainly thanks to the use of compound-link front and rear crank axle. The efficient brake system coupled with electronic stability control systems ensures a high safety standard. The progressive negative pressure Dual Rate brake booster contributes to the quick response of the brake system and easy dosage of braking effect.
