The Škoda Superb harbours enough power under the bonnet for you to cope safely with any situation. You can take your pick of the 1.4, 1.5 and 2.0 TSI petrol engines or the 2.0 TDI diesel engine. The power ranges from 110 to 206 kW and is transmitted to the front or all wheels. Three types of transmission are available: a 6-speed manual and 6- and 7-speed DSG gearboxes.

The experience of driving a Škoda Superb is replete with exceptional details: majestic dimensions eliciting a sense of security, the Virtual Cockpit which offers a choice of five layouts, a graceful interior with a good view out, and progressive steering delivering improved steering control and adapting to the angle of the steering wheel. The Dynamic Chassis Control and Driving Mode Select allow you to match the car’s characteristics to your mood, offering several different modes.

The safety of you and your family is our priority, as evidenced by our 5-star Euro NCAP test result. Occupants are protected by up to 9 airbags that work in tandem with the three-point seat belts. If an accident is unavoidable, passengers are prepared for impact by Crew Protect Assist, which closes the windows and sunroof, and activates belt pretensioning. ESC, ABS and many other systems also keep an eye on the car when it is on the go.

Powerful and economical LED headlights and tail lights are standard, as are the front LED fog lights. The optional full LED Matrix headlights can mask out the high beam light distribution around oncoming vehicles in real time. This results in a perfectly illuminated road ahead and greater safety. The top-notch full LED tail lights incorporate diodes to play every role, and even include a dynamic rear indicator.

Inching forward a bit at a time, passing pedestrians, lane switching, etc. The Škoda Superb’s job is to make this easier for you. The radar located in the radiator grille monitors the front area so that Front Assist with Predictive Pedestrian Protection can alert you or stop the car in the event of an imminent collision with another vehicle or a person. On congested roads, Traffic Jam Assist can even inch the car forward automatically.

When you buy a Škoda Superb, all your parking worries are over. Park Assist can park in and exit from parallel spots itself, and enter perpendicular spots forwards or backwards – you just work the accelerator and the brake. You’ll also appreciate the Rear View Camera when parking. Rear Traffic Alert will help you exit a line of cars as it detects whether another car is approaching and alerts you in good time. Manoeuvre Assist makes sure you don’t hit any obstacles when manoeuvring the car in tight spaces.

When you’re on the motorway, systems are ready to help by taking over some of the driving for you. Adaptive Cruise Control’s new feature Predictive Cruise Control can automatically adjust the car’s set speed in response to speed limits on traffic signs. Adaptive Lane Assist uses a camera to read road markings and keeps the car in the centre of the lane. The Side Assist detects vehicles approaching from behind or that are in the car’s blind spot.

Hundreds of miles on the road will always test the limits of your stamina. Driver Alert ensures you don’t take risks – it alerts you if you need to take a break. Travel Assist detects traffic signs and shows them on the car’s display so you can keep track of the situation.
