Skoda Superb: More Details Emerging

 

 

10th January, 2008

2008 Skoda Superb

Additional details on the all-new Škoda Superb are emerging. Offering generous interior space and a striking new look, the 2008 Superb looks set to shake up the upper medium segment.

At 4,838 mm long and 1,783 mm wide the new Superb is 35 mm longer and 18mm wider than its predecessor. It stands at 1,461 mm high and has a wheel base of 2,761 mm - 8 mm lower and 42 mm shorter respectively than the model it replaces.

As customers have come to expect from the Czech firm’s products, the new Superb will feature a number of smart technological solutions including adaptive cornering headlamps, a new electronic air conditioning system, automatic parking assist and much more. Readers can expect to hear a lot more about this new model in coming weeks. Safety was one of the top priorities in developing the new Superb and with nine airbags altogether it is now safer than ever.

A total of up to six engines will be available in the new Superb - three petrol and three diesel. Outputs will vary and the units will be combined with a selection of manual or DSG transmissions.  The full Australian engine line-up will be announced closer to the model’s local launch date.

The Škoda Superb will be manufactured in the car maker’s Kvasiny plant in the Czech Republic and will be on sale in Australia in very late 2008, or possibly early 2009.

The new Skoda Yeti is also expected in Australia in 2009.

The new Skoda Superb will make its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2008.
