Skoda upgrades the flagship of its model range. From the end of May 2017, the Skoda Superb and Skoda Superb Estate will be rolled out with numerous innovations. With the new model year, both models come with Care Connect as standard, from Ambition trim upwards - regardless of the choice of infotainment system.

The most important feature of Care Connect is the automatic emergency call, which is activated following an accident if a restraint system has been triggered. The vehicle establishes a voice and data connection to an emergency call centre and transmits all the necessary data. The emergency call can also be initiated manually via a button in the roof module.

In addition, remote access to the vehicle is now possible via the Skoda Connect App. The smartphone can inform the driver, among other things, whether the windows and doors are closed or the lights are off. The parking position function shows the location of the vehicle, the 'Honk & Flash' function makes it easier to find the car by activating the horn and hazard lights.

Numerous functions can now be operated with optimised infotainment systems for the Skoda Superb. The display of the Columbus navigation system has grown from eight to 9.2 inches and the system Swing from five to 6.5 inches. In addition, the glass design enhances the high-resolution displays.

With the SmartLink+ system on-board, the Skoda Superb now offers additional possibilities for networking between vehicle and smartphone. SmartLink+ brings navigation, infotainment and communication apps from the mobile phone into the car and also provides vehicle data for evaluation on the smartphone.

The Skoda Superb helps to avoid dents while parking, which is ensured by the Park Distance Control system with extended function Manoeuvre Assist - this now also detects obstacles in front of the vehicle. The system not only warns the driver with optical and acoustic signals but also brakes the vehicle automatically if necessary.

As a comfortable travelling vehicle for the whole family, the character of the Skoda Superb has been further strengthened with new equipment features. The optional massage function for the driver's seat - which is available with the electrically adjustable variant, including ventilation and memory function - ensures increased comfort on long distances.
