The start point for the best source of fleet information |
Skoda has revealed its new Superb estate ahead of the Frankfurt motor show in September.
Under the bonnet the petrol range kicks off with a 1.4-litre turbo with either 125hp or 150hp. If you need more power there's an automatic-only 2.0-litre turbo with either 220hp or 280hp.
More relevant for business buyers (fleets snap up 70% of all Superbs) are the diesels. There's just two - a 120hp 1.6-litre that comes with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch (DSG) automatic or a 2.0-litre with 150hp or 190hp.
The most frugal engine is the 1.6-litre oil-burner in 120hp which emits 108g/km of CO2 and returns 72.4mpg in the hatchback version.
It is available to order from June, but due in showrooms in September, and is based on the recently-released hatchback model.
Skoda claims the estate offers the best interior space in its segment. The driver and passenger have 39mm more elbow room than before, while Skoda said rear the rear leg-room is twice as much as its nearest competitor at 157mm.
The boot's volume has also increased by 27 litres compared to the outgoing model, to 660 litres. Seats down, the boot volume reaches 1950 litres.
The Superb estate is equipped with a number of assistance systems including the firm's dynamic chassis control system, MirrorLink, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and an optional high-speed internet connection.
"With the new Skoda Superb estate, we have further developed the existing strengths of the Superb," said Dr Frank Welsch, Skoda board member for technical development. "The combination of aesthetics technology and the highest practical benefits makes the new Superb Estate an outstanding vehicle within its segment. With the new flagship, we will attract new customers to our brand," said Welsch.
