CAR magazine UK reveals everything we know about the latest-generation Skoda Superb with pictures, specs and prototype review impressions
► Plus, we drive a prototype model
We’ve got all you need to know about the new Superb right here, including driving impressions of a prototype model we tested a little while back in 2023.Yes! Skoda, it seems, has listened to the cacophony of grumbles that touch sensitive buttons and the removal of all physical controls has resulted in across models from all brands. VW Group has been hit hard by this criticism, particularly with models like the Mk8 Golf and ID.3, and has had to backtrack on their rollout.
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.Skoda has fiddled with the Superb’s dimensions, too. 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.
Every version of the fourth-generation Superb will come as standard with 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.
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.
