The renewed Skoda Superb arrives in Spain with a starting price of 31,590 euros

The saloon segment is recovering from the abrasive presence of the SUV segment, which has for now ceased its relentless criticism. Models such as the Skoda Superb prove it: a Czech saloon that has always been characterised by its flawless balance and a value for money that is hard to beat. Since the last generation arrived on the market in 2015, the brand has decided to give its flagship a restyling designed to suit current tastes and extend its life. The price to pay for this renovation, both aesthetic and mechanical? 31,590 euros.

Besides the usual visual changes that a restyling brings, Skoda has taken the opportunity to introduce two important novelties. One of them is the Scout trim, which gives the Superb a much more rugged look; and the other, a plug-in hybrid variant that promises to be the Czech brand’s first step towards a 100% electric option across all of its models.

Up to five trim levels

Skoda has wanted its renewed Scout to remain true to the brand’s principles, which is why the most exclusive saloon from the Czech house is offered with up to five trims. The first and most modest, Active, already comes with a generous technology arsenal that makes it clear this is no ordinary Skoda .

The Ambition trim continues to offer generous standard equipment but, unlike the Active, it is complemented by the “Bolero” radio and the “Amundsen” navigation system, among other features. Opting for the Style level, the Superb will be dressed up with chrome for added elegance, while the interior welcomes its drivers with the innovative Virtual Cockpit.

The Sportline designation gives the Czech saloon a much sportier and more spirited side, without ever giving up its versatility and comfort. This trim includes Front Assist with city emergency braking, heated front seats, adaptive cruise control, a “Rear View” camera and 19-inch “Vega” alloy wheels. Last but not least, the Laurin & Klement trim is also available, paying tribute to the brand’s founders.

Available from 31,590 euros

The Skoda Superb offers a wide range of engines, and the Czech brand plans to expand this gradually. For now, the saloon can be paired with the 1.6 TDI 120 hp, 2.0 TSI 190 and 272 hp, and 2.0 TDI 190 hp 4×4 powertrains.

The remaining 1.5 TSI 150 hp, the 2.0 TDI of the same output and the long-awaited 1.4 TSI PHEV will arrive in September except for the last one, which will reach the market next January. In this way, Skoda is ready to regain ground in the premium saloon segment, where the Superb enjoys a major advantage over its most direct rivals.
