Škoda has raised the bar yet again with the all-new Superb, a car that marries sleek design with advanced technology, enhanced safety features, and a commitment to sustainable materials. Announced on January 29, 2025, the vehicle boasts more space, improved aerodynamics, and an array of innovative functions that promise to redefine comfort and efficiency.
A Design Evolution: Sleek and Functional
The new Škoda Superb embraces a sophisticated Modern Solid design highlighted by a bold octagonal grille and sleek LED Matrix beam headlights. These lights now incorporate a striking Crystallinium design element and animated indicators for a touch of futuristic elegance. Meanwhile, the Superb Wagon is Škoda’s most aerodynamic model to date, with a best-in-class drag coefficient reduced by 15% to just 0.25 . To complement these enhancements, new exterior colours, including bold choices like Carmine Red and Ice Tea Yellow, add flair to this next-generation model.
Interior Innovations: Comfort Meets Technology
On the inside, Škoda has gone to great lengths to create a clean and spacious cabin filled with forward-thinking features. A 13-inch free-standing infotainment display takes centre stage, paired with updated Virtual Cockpit graphics for seamless usability. Adding to this, the Škoda Smart Dials cleverly combine tactile controls with digital feedback, making it easier than ever to adjust functions like climate control, seat ventilation, and map navigation.
For ultimate convenience, the new ventilated Phone Box now supports inductive fast charging up to 15 watts, while the ergonomic front seats provide ten massage settings and dynamic comfort thanks to humidity and temperature sensors . The Superb’s sustainability credentials are equally impressive, with recycled materials in the textiles and cognac-coloured leather tanned with olive-oil production water.
Performance and Safety: More Power, Less Stress
Škoda offers six powertrains, including the new-generation plug-in hybrid for the Superb Wagon iV. The hybrid combines a 1.5 TSI engine with an electric motor to deliver 150 kW (204 hp) and an electric-only range of up to 120 km on the WLTP cycle. Mild-hybrid technology debuts on the Superb this year as well, representing a step forward in efficiency without sacrificing performance .
Safety also takes a significant leap. The new Superb is equipped with nano radar sensors for enhanced assistance systems like Crossroad Assist and Turn Assist, which can now detect vehicles, cyclists, and even pedestrians from greater distances. Swerve Support and predictive cyclist protection are excellent additions, complemented by up to ten airbags, including a central airbag for the first time in the range.
Practical Details and Simply Clever Features
In true Škoda fashion, the Superb offers up to 28 Simply Clever solutions. Notable highlights include a sliding rear centre armrest with cup holders, a retractable load cover for the 690-litre boot, and even a QR code in the luggage area linking to helpful instructional videos. The iconic umbrella and ice scraper also return but are now crafted from sustainable materials, supporting Škoda’s eco-conscious approach.
The Superb Sportline: Sharper and More Dynamic
For enthusiasts, the Superb Sportline delivers sporty refinement. Its 19-inch alloy wheels, black accents, and lowered sports chassis ensure a striking presence on the road. Inside, drivers are greeted by heated sports seats with integrated headrests and the Smart Comfort entry function, enhancing every journey .
With its cutting-edge features, dynamic design, and commitment to sustainability, the all-new Škoda Superb is poised to continue its legacy as a benchmark in the premium vehicle segment. Whether comfort, practicality, or innovation, Škoda proves with the Superb that drivers don’t have to choose – this flagship delivers it all.
