NEW 2024 ŠKODA SUPERB TEASER #car_2024 #skoda #superb #new_car

The wraps have come off the fourth-generation Skoda Superb, and as the teaser pictures promised, it may be wearing a conservative set of clothes, but this is an all-new car with a massively updated interior, now underpinned by VWG’s MQB Evo platform and built alongside the new Passat.
The Superb Mk4 might look same-again, but it’s much sleeker and more ‘premium’ in the metal. Both models get second-generation LED Matrix beam headlights, which flank the sharper-looking front end and octagonal Skoda grille. Aerodynamics have taken a step forward with an impressive Cd of 0.23 for the hatch and 0.25 for the estate – a reduction of 10-15%.
Moderate increases in length and height have further improved the overall dimensions in the interior. Boot capacity has grown by 20 litres to 645 litres for the hatch and by 30 litres to 690 litres for the estate. This means it remains at the head of the class, for luggage space, while rear legroom remains as impressive as ever.

That doesn’t mean there still isn’t a massive screen in the new generation, however. In fact, the latest Superb features a 12.9-inch central touchscreen as standard, likely running a new-generation infotainment system set to be rolled out across many brands within the VW Group.
Beneath that, though, is a set of three physical dials and a couple of additional physical buttons. Skoda says the dials in the middle can be customised to allow quick access to the controls you use most using small screens inside them. The good news is that the quality seems. tohave taken a distinct step forward, with some very tactile materials used, as well as tasteful use of colour.

Elsewhere, Skoda says it’s used olive tanning in its latest leathers, which is more environmentally friendly than regular tanning – and a technique Bentley also uses with its Bentayga EWB Mulliner model. And, in order to provide more space in the centre console, Skoda has moved the shifter onto the steering column, much like VW’s ID models.
The interior trim packages follows a similar structure to the Enyaq, offering seven ‘Design Selections’ The Studio Design Selection with black and grey fabrics is included with the basic Essence trim level.

koda has fiddled with the Superb’s dimensions. Now, we’re not convinced that the Superb needed to get any larger – the current car is already an absolute unit – but the next model will be 43mm longer and 12mm taller than before.
Skoda says the changes liberate an extra 11mm of headroom in the front, 6mm of headroom in the rear and 20 litres of boot space, taking the hatchback’s seats-up capacity to a whopping 645 litres. However, legroom is comparable to the current car, as the Superb Mk4’s wheelbase remains unchanged.

Every version of the Superb Mk4 comes as standard with the VW Group’s latest suite of safety features – including an autonomous emergency braking system that can now detect cyclists. There’s also a new Crossroad Assist function that uses radar sensors in the bumper to monitor traffic at blind junctions and issue you a warning if you’re about to drive yourself into an accident.
Skoda has also increased the number of airbags in the Superb. The new car will be available with up to 10. As standard, you’ll get front, side and head airbags, a driver’s knee airbag and a central airbag to prevent the front passenger from headbutting each other in the event of a side impact. Skoda will also offer two side airbags for the rear seats as an optional extra.

The range will open with an all-new 1.5-litre four-cylinder mild hybrid petrol unit – and the petrol engine is from the Volkswagen Group’s latest EA211 Evo 2 family of engines which run on the fuel-efficient Miller cycle (like Toyota’s petrol engines) and feature cylinder deactivation technology. Like the current Superb’s 1.5-litre petrol engine, it’ll have an output of 148bhp.
We found the new Superb PHEV rather interesting, too. Skoda has more than doubled the capacity of its battery pack, increasing it from 12.7 to 25.7kWh. The company says that will allow the car to cover up to 62 miles on electric power alone. It’ll even be compatible with 50kW DC rapid charging, which will trim charge times and allow owners to make the most of its electric range.
