The new Škoda Superb Estate will mirror trim levels and engine choices of the Superb hatchback with S, SE and Elegance models available along with the same range of three petrol and three diesel engines.

All engines, from 1.4 TSI to 3.6 V6 are equipped with direct fuel injection, with a choice of manual or twin-clutch DSG gearboxes linked to either two- or four-wheel drive.

In addition, it will carry a premium over the hatchback of between £1,150 and £1,350 when it goes on sale in the UK in February. The estate is expected to account for a third of all Superb sales in 2010, of which fleet sales are expected to make up approximately 75%.
