Skoda has announced an estate version of its Superb model.
Škoda has offered an estate version of its top model since 2009. To date, the company has delivered more than 200,000 Superb Estate models to customers worldwide - 35 per cent of all Škoda Superbs sold since 2009.
“With the new Superb Estate, we have further developed the existing strengths of the Superb and once again set a benchmark. With its expressive, dynamic design, we are emphasising and complimenting Škoda’s expertise in the estate segment,” said Dr Frank Welsch, board member for technical development.
“The combination of aesthetics, top-of-the range technology and the highest practical benefits makes the new Superb Estate an outstanding vehicle within its segment. With the new flagship, we will attract new customers to our brand,” said Welsch.
Based on MQB technology, with a wheelbase that has been extended by 80mm to 2,841mm. The track width has increased to 1,584mm at the front and to 1,572mm at the rear. The result: even more interior space. In the latest model, driver and passenger have 39mm more elbow room than before.
Headroom in the front is 995mm and 1,001mm in the rear – more than in any other model in the segment. Rear knee-room is 157mm – around twice as much as the next-best competitor. Elbow room in the rear has been increased by 70mm.
The boot volume is now 660 litres, representing an increase of 27 litres compared to the previous model. When the back seats are folded down, the boot volume reaches 1,950 litres.
The new model will be launched into the first markets in the September, while UK retailers will start taking orders from June.
