Škoda Superb From £17,675

Superb

The Superb is a car with history dating from the 1930s. The original Superb’s design was luxurious and elegant both inside and out, built to appeal to the world’s leaders and royalty. New Superb takes its sumptuous design cues from its earliest predecessor and builds on these strengths.

The new Superb takes this philosophy and develops it. It’s the first car ever to have a boot which can be opened as a hatch or a saloon. It has more rear legroom than many prestige chauffeur cars, and some nifty technological advances such as AFS (adaptive front light system), touch screen technology and park assist.

ŠkodaSuperb Hatch key features:

Twin door (Hatch Only)
Twindoor is Škoda’s revolutionary boot opening mechanism which allows the boot to be opened in two different ways; as a hatch or as a saloon at the simplest touch of a button. This gives you great versatility and more practicality compared to a standard hatchback or saloon car.

Park Assist
Optional on all Superbs, park assist is an innovative system that uses a set of ultrasonic sensors placed at various points around the car to judge the suitability of parking space before assisting in the parking manoeuvre itself.

Touchscreen Technology
There are two systems available on new Superb both with touchscreen; the ‘Bolero’ with integrated 6 CD changer and SD card reader (standard on SE) and the ‘Columbus’ satellite navigation unit with a 30Gb hard drive and SD card reader (standard on Elegance). Each of these systems reduce the physical number of buttons on the dashboard, using an innovative and easy to follow interface. They allow the driver to control features within the car, as well as displaying information regarding the vehicle such as parking sensors, heated seats and external temperature etc.

ŠkodaGreenLine II Technology
As the world becomes more environmentally sensitive, Škoda has responded by developing GreenLine II technology. The following information will explain the key technological features of GreenLine II and how they contribute to making a cleaner, greener customer experience, as well as reducing fuel costs for the driver and our impact on the environment. GreenLine II is available on Superb S, SE and Elegance.

1.6 TDI CR 105PS DPF
The economical four cylinder 1.6 TDI diesel engine in the GreenLine II produces just 114g/km CO2 which means a VED band of C, which is £0 road tax for the first 12 months.
The Superb GreenLine II has an excellent combined fuel economy of 64.2 mpg.

Energy Recuperation
Energy recuperation is the process of converting kinetic energy (energy created through movement) back into usable electricity, which is either stored in the battery, or immediately used again by electrical components on the vehicle.
Depending on driving style, electrical energy is supplied to the vehicle by the alternator or directly by the battery. The principle of energy recovery is to reduce the load on the engine and therefore contribute to lower emissions and reduced fuel consumption.

Aerodynamics
One of the simplest ways to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, is to create a more aerodynamic vehicle.
The Superb GreenLine II has a small rear boot spoiler (Hatch only) and slightly lowered suspension to facilitate better airflow.
To keep the weight and drag of the GreenLine II models down to a minimum and thus ensure the model is as efficient as possible, there is a reduced list of options available.
However, the comfort and safety of all occupants has not been compromised and so important features like airbags and air conditioning have been retained.

Low profile tyres
The Superb GreenLine II has 16” Spectrum Alloys (205/55 R16 91H) these lighter alloy wheels with low rolling resistance tyres have a higher prescribed air pressure to reduce friction.

Stop/start System
This innovative system turns off the engine when it is not needed, for example when the driver is stopped at traffic lights or in heavy traffic.
When a normal car is stationary, the engine will idle, which in turn consumes fuel and generates emissions. The Stop/start system cleverly cuts out this unnecessary work by stopping the engine automatically when the car is stationary, in neutral and the clutch pedal is released.
The Stop/start system does not inhibit a quick getaway either. As soon as the driver presses the clutch to put the vehicle in gear, the engine immediately starts up so acceleration is as instant as if the car had been idling.
