The Skoda Superb gets a comprehensive facelift
06 Apr 2013|5,732 views
Both Hatch and Estate versions of the Skoda Superb are set to make their world premieres on 19th April 2013, on the eve of the Shanghai Motor Show.


The Skoda Superb boasts a completely new front and rear. Elements of the brand's new design language are clearly visible: clear lines, precise quality and balanced proportions. The front of the car, which has been completely redesigned up to the A-pillar, looks much more distinctive.
The grille, car logo, head and fog lights, bumpers, front wings and bonnet are new. The distinctively drawn front with a significantly wider grille as well as the completely redesigned headlights creates an assured appearance. Available for the first time in the Superb lineup are bi-xenon headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights.
In terms of engines and drive technology, selected engines save more than 19 percent fuel when compared to their predecessors. Contributing to this is Start-Stop and kinetic energy recuperation technology, which will be standard in all Skoda Superb diesel engines, in addition to the entry-level 1.4 TSI 125bhp petrol engine in EU countries. The Superb GreenLine offers fuel consumption of just 67.3 mpg, with CO2 emissions of 109 g/km.


The new Superb reaffirms its reputation as a clever representative of the upper-middle segment. An umbrella stored in the door, a feature otherwise available only in top-end luxury vehicles, is available.
Another 'Simply Clever' solution of the new Superb Hatch is still the Twindoor tailgate. Users can choose to open either the boot lid or the entire tailgate including the rear window. The technology has become even simpler to operate: each opening mode now has its own button.
More notably, the amount of boot space offered in the Superb remains unbeaten in its class. The Hatch with 595 litres and the Estate 633 litres. With the back seats folded down, the transport volumes increase to 1,700 and 1,865 litres respectively.

"The Skoda Superb is the pinnacle of our model lineup and proves Skoda's capability as a manufacturer. This comprehensive facelift has made our top model even more attractive," said Skoda CEO Winfried Vahland.
