All-New Skoda Superb – UK Pricing and Specs

UK customers hankering after the latest Škoda model don’t have to wait much longer, as the all-new Superb is now open for order, with prices starting from £34,865 OTR for the hatch and £36,165 OTR for the Estate;  first deliveries expected from June 2024.

The all-new Superb boasts a refined design and a new range structure comprising Design Selections that offer different interior designs from fabric, to microsuede to leather depending on personal style. The trademark sense of space for which the Superb is renowned continues with the car’s luggage capacity increasing to 690 litres – an extra 30 litres more than its predecessor, closely followed by the hatch which offers 645 litres of space in the boot.

The powertrain selection has increased with the new model, with six different powertrain variants available and power outputs ranging from 150 PS to 265 PS. Three petrol engines, including a 1.5 TSI now benefiting from mild-hybrid technology, are joined by two diesels. The Superb Estate iV features a second-generation plug-in hybrid drive that enables an all-electric range of more than 62 miles as well as DC charging. All models come with DSG.

The Superb has established itself as the ultimate car for comfort and provides exceptional space for passengers and luggage. The interior features a free-standing infotainment display measuring 13 inches and a well thought-out centre console with the move of the selector lever to the steering column. A head-up display is available as an option for the first time. The Škoda Smart Dials and the voice assistant Laura, soon to be complemented by ChatGPT, make light work of controlling numerous vehicle and infotainment functions, providing information that goes beyond the car’s ecosystem. New elements include 15-watt wireless fast-charging and simultaneous ventilating of a smartphone, as well as back-friendly Ergo seats with ten pneumatically controlled massage cushions.

The new Superb has switched to a new production plant in Bratislava, and with a new production line comes a new range of colours. There will be two solid and six metallic paints available in the UK, with new six colours making their debut: Pure White, Ice Tea Yellow, Midnight Black, Pebble Silver, Cobalt Blue and Carmine Red.
