New Skoda Superb Combi 2016
"The new Skoda Superb Combi
embodies our core brand values par excellence and is more spacious,
practical and clever than ever before," said Skoda CEO, Prof. Dr. h.c.
Winfried Vahland. "With its emotionally charged appearance, the estate
version of our flagship underlines our high aspirations in the
automotive mid-class segment and it is proof of the brand's engineering
and design expertise. The dynamic, almost sporty appearance represents a
new proposition within the mid-size estate car segment. The new Superb
Combi's perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality,
complemented by MQB technology, will attract new customers to the model
and the brand," said Winfried Vahland.
The manufacturer has
offered an estate version of its top-of-the-range Skoda Superb since
2009. By the end of May 2015, Skoda had delivered more than 200,000
Skoda Superb Combis to customers worldwide. This represents around 35
per cent of all Skoda Superbs sold in the period from 2009 to date.
Customers
have always valued the overall package of the Superb and the Superb
Combi: extremely generous space, a timelessly elegant design, modern,
tried-and-tested technology, a top level of comfort, maximum safety,
optimum functionality and very good value for money. "With its
outstanding qualities, our flagship has established itself very well in
the markets over the last few years. We intend to build on this success
and to also attract new customers. For this purpose, we have further
improved the new Superb and the new Superb Combi in every aspect," said
Werner Eichhorn, Skoda Board Member for Sales and Marketing.
Skoda design revolution continues
The
new Skoda Superb Combi's new design demonstrates the brand's emotional
strength. The new Skoda design language shows assurance, dynamic
elegance and balanced proportions. At the same time, the new generation
offers even more space and further improved functional virtues. Form,
function and technology in perfect harmony.
The front coveys
strength and self-assurance at first glance. The wide grille, the wide
and distinctive headlights and the cleanly structured, deeply drawn
front-end architecture are all designed for increased optical width. At
the same time, the striking front mask with radiator grille and brand
logo centrally positioned on the bonnet's nose focus the expression on
the centre of the vehicle's front. The bonnet is strongly contoured. Two
lines running inwards strengthen the powerful impression.
The new
Skoda Superb Combi's side view conveys dynamic elegance. The silhouette
unfolds as a stylistically confident, perfect unit. The
emotionally-rich overall impression is created in particular by the
longer wheelbase, the shortened front overhang, the energetic roofline
and the slanted rear window. In addition, the vehicle appears longer
because of the razor-sharp, high tornado line which achieves an
effective contrast between light and shade; an impression that is
intensified by the wing line. The large wheels and striking wheel arches
emphasise the vehicle's exclusive appearance.
The new Skoda
Superb Combi's rear is self-assured and expressive. There is also a
strong emphasis on the horizontal, conveying the vehicle's dynamics and
supreme strength at the rear as well. The lines are streamlined and
clear. The two-part, wide and distinctive taillights shine with LED
technology as standard and sharply intensify the C-shaped lights that
Skoda is well known for. At the same time, the taillights benefit from
additional brilliance due to crystalline elements. The tailgate's sharp,
horizontal embossing gives added spice to the rear.
The
completely new interpreted interior is identical to that of the Superb
hatchback and continues essential design details of the car's exterior.
This includes the emphasis on horizontal lines, which allow the already
extremely spacious interior to appear even more generous and airy. Clear
shapes, precise workmanship and the use of new, premium materials lend
the interior new quality.
Upgrade - comfort and space in a new dimension
The
generous amount of space and the high level of comfort have been some
of the Skoda Superb Combi's specific strengths from the very beginning.
With the new Skoda Superb Combi, these virtues have been developed even
further, setting a new standard in this respect.
Compared to the
already generous space of the previous model, the spaciousness of the
new Superb Combi has increased again. The use of MQB has especially
contributed to this, enabling a longer wheelbase and wider track and
meaning the interior can be used more effectively.
This results in
significantly more space in the front and rear. Driver and passenger
can enjoy 39 mm more elbow room and more headroom. The space in the rear
is almost 'princely', offering a legroom of 157 mm. This is around
twice as much as the nearest competitor. The headroom is 995 mm at the
front and 1,001 mm in the rear. No other model in the segment can offer
this. Elbow room in the rear has increased by 70 mm. The boot capacity
is a record in the segment: 660 litres, that is 27 litres more than in
the previous-generation Superb Combi.
With an array of completely
new comfort solutions, the new Skoda Superb Combi fulfils the highest
demands. A comfort highlight in the new Skoda Superb Combi is the
Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) including Driving Mode Select. Completely
new air conditioning, including for the first time, the new top-version
three-zone air conditioning, ensures an optimal temperature and the best
air quality on board. The new Skoda Superb Combi is available with an
optional electric panoramic glass roof for more comfort and a feel-good
factor in the interior. For the colder times of the year, there are
auxiliary heating, heated seats (front and rear), a wireless heated
windscreen and heated washer jets. The rain/light sensor automatically
switches the windscreen wipers on and off and autoamatically switches
between daytime running light and dipped beam depending on light
conditions.
Skoda further improved the umbrella comfort feature in
the side door of the Superb Combi. Instead of one umbrella in the rear
left-hand door, there is now an umbrella in each of the two front doors.
Particularly convenient is also the new electric tailgate that can be
complemented with a virtual pedal. This enables the tailgate to be
opened by moving the foot in the area of the rear bumper. The electric
tailgate and virtual pedal work in combination with the KESSY automatic
locking and starting system.
Driving in and out of parking spaces
is now extremely convenient with the new Skoda Superb Combi. The model
comes with the newest generation of Park Assist for automatic parking.
The rear-view camera is also a first for this model. The classic
handbrake has been replaced with a standard electric parking brake in
the new Superb Combi.
Connectivity at its best
The
new Skoda Superb Combi also sets benchmarks with regards to
connectivity and infotainment. In total, there are four completely new
infotainment systems based on Volkswagen Group's modular infotainment
matrix (MIB) technology. Compared to before, the new generation of
equipment is significantly faster, comes with high-resolution
touchscreen displays for all models and offers more functions and new
interfaces.
The top-of-the-range Columbus system has the option of integrated high-speed internet access based on the LTE standard.
For
the first time, the Skoda Superb Combi can be paired with a smartphone
and selected apps of this phone can be controlled on the infotainment
system's screen. SmartLink includes the standards MirrorLink™, Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto (availability of SmartLink may vary depending
on country.)
The SmartGate interface, developed by Skoda, allows certain vehicle data to be accessed on the user's own smartphone apps.
The
new Skoda Media Command app allows the infotainment system to be
controlled remotely from the Superb Combi's rear seats for the first
time. Passengers sitting in the rear of the car can access its functions
via their tablet using the new Skoda app and Wi-Fi hotspot built into
the Columbus infotainment system.
The 12-speaker Canton Sound System with its 610 W output turns the new Skoda Superb Combi into a concert hall on wheels.
Simply Clever in a new dimension
31
'Simply Clever' features make life easier for the driver and passengers
in the new Skoda Superb Combi. 21 solutions are new for the Superb
Combi, ten of them are completely new for the brand.
Alongside
both umbrellas in the front doors and new options relating to
connectivity and comfort, further new and incredibly practical 'Simply
Clever' solutions include: a manually retractable tow bar, a tablet
holder in the rear, a tablet storage compartment in the Jumbo Box in the
front, a USB port and a 230-V socket in the rear, single-handed opening
for a 0.5-litre bottle and an extra high-vis vest storage compartment
in all four doors. Both of the front and rear doors have space to store a
1.5-litre bottle.
The interior's versatility is increased by the
option to fold down the rear backrests from the boot. The mechanical
passenger seat can also be folded down. The electrically adjustable
front passenger seat can even be conveniently adjusted from the rear.
Additionally, there are new storage nets on the inside edges of the
front seats. The boot comes with a false floor for versatile division of
the luggage space, a practical coat shelf under the retractable load
cover and a removable LED torch. For the first time, the new Superb
offers the virtual pedal for contactless opening of the tailgate as an
optional extra. The Superb now comes with an ice scraper in the fuel
filler flap and misfuel protection as standard.
Highest efficiency
The
new Skoda Superb Combi's new engines offer a maximum of up to 30 per
cent lower consumption values and emissions. The Skoda Superb Combi
GreenLine consumes just 3.7 l/100 km and emits 96 CO2 per km. Alongside
innovative engine technology, the reduction in vehicle weight of up to
75 kg and the improved aerodynamics also contribute to the low
consumption values.
The combination of a performance that is
increased by up to 20 per cent, reduced air resistance and a reduction
in weight also leads to impressive driving dynamics.
The new Skoda
Superb Combi has modern, direct-injection turbo engines based on MQB
technology (five TSI petrol, three TDI common-rail diesel). All
powertrains meet the EU6 emission standards and come with stop-start
technology and brake energy recovery as standard. The petrol engines
produce between 92 kW (125 PS) and 206 kW (280 PS). The power output of
the diesel engines ranges from 88 kW (120 PS) to 140 kW (190 PS).
With
the exception of the entry-level petrol engine, all powertrains for the
new Superb Combi are available with modern dual-clutch transmissions.
Four powertrains (1.4 TSI/110 kW, 2.0 TSI/206 kW, 2.0 TDI/110 kW and 2.0
TDI/140 kW) are available with state-of-the-art all-wheel drive based
on the Haldex 5 clutch.
Safety without compromise
The
new Skoda Superb Combi wows with a level of safety that has not
previously been seen as standard for vehicles in this segment. The new
model features Electronic Stability Control including Multi-Collision
Brake as standard. In EU countries the following safety features are
also fitted as standard: Front Assist with City Emergency Brake,
electronic tyre pressure monitor, seven airbags, five three-point
automatic seat belts with fastening alerts as well as safety headrests.
Rear side airbags are available as an option. Also standard: XDS+, an
enhanced function of the electronic differential lock. Speedlimiter is
available as standard from the Ambition trim line upwards.
In
addition, innovative optional assistance systems are available. At a
pre-set speed, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) keeps the vehicle at a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead. With the enhanced Crew Protect Assist,
driver and passenger are 'prepared' for an impending collision. Lane
Assist helps the vehicle stay in lane on motorways and country roads.
Traffic Jam Assist, a first for the Superb Combi, increases safety and
comfort in traffic and during stop-and-go. The new Emergency Assist
intervenes if the driver becomes incapable of driving, automatically
bringing the vehicle to a standstill.
The Blind Spot Detect
system, also new for the Combi, supports the driver in changing lanes
safely by alerting him/her of any vehicles in the blind spot. A key
component of Blind Spot Detect is the Rear Traffic Alert function, a
first for the model. Driver Alert (fatigue detection) prevents the
driver from becoming overtired. Travel Assist with Traffic Sign
Recognition, available for the first time in the Skoda Superb Combi,
continually informs the driver of upcoming road signs.
Innovative
lighting systems significantly increase safety at night. The front
headlights are fitted with halogen technology or with bi-xenon lamps
including AFS function and LED daytime running lights. As an option, the
high beam can be controlled electronically - via Light Assist or the
advanced Smart Light Assist function (masked high beam). Striking LED
lights shine at the rear of the new Superb Combi as standard and there
are also two reflectors on both sides of the rear bumper.
The new
Superb Combi's completely redeveloped chassis with MacPherson front
struts and multi-link rear axle offers maximum ride stability in
challenging situations.
