In this special Motor283 test drive, we head straight to Czechia, Skoda’s homeland, to experience the fourth generation Skoda Superb. As the third best selling car in Europe, the Superb stands out for its trusted reliability, elegant design, and practical everyday appeal. Our journey celebrates Skoda’s 130 year legacy with a real world drive through Czech streets and countryside, setting the scene for a car that combines European luxury and usability like few others.
One of the Superb’s signature qualities is its unmatched space. Whether you choose the sedan or the wagon, this car features the largest storage area in its category. Clever features like a retractable cover and multiple hidden compartments make packing and organizing effortless. Inside, the Superb’s premium cabin provides comfort for every passenger, with thoughtful solutions such as reclining rear seats, special headrests, and flexible tablet holders to turn any trip into a relaxing journey.
Step inside the new Skoda Superb and you are greeted with a luxurious suite of features: ventilated leather seats with massage and heating, real wood trim, ambient lighting, and a cutting edge digital cockpit. Smart rotary dials let you control climate, sound, and driving modes with a single touch. Even the gear shifter is moved for more storage space, and the cabin is packed with more than 22 clever features including wireless charging with cooling for your phone and customizable cup holders.
The Superb is loaded with advanced technology to enhance every trip. Matrix LED headlights, crystal accents, and dark chrome details set a new design standard. A full head up display projects navigation and safety alerts onto the windshield, while adaptive cruise control and lane assist make highway cruising effortless. New smart features automatically adjust your speed according to road signs and city boundaries, using cameras and satellite maps for smarter, safer driving everywhere.
The fourth generation Superb is powered by a 2.0 liter turbocharged engine, producing 190 hp and 320 Nm of torque, paired with a smooth seven speed DSG automatic transmission. Improvements in aerodynamics and sound insulation make for a quieter, more refined ride. The new model also focuses on comfort for long journeys with special ergonomic seats and features that adapt to changing weather, ensuring both driver and passengers feel relaxed at any speed.
A visit to the Skoda Museum in Mlada Boleslav reveals just how deeply heritage shapes the brand. Skoda has been pioneering engineering since the early 1900s, from motorcycles and motorsports to family cars and rally champions. Even after joining the Volkswagen Group in 1991, Skoda kept its unique identity, focusing on smart design and innovation. The Superb’s design and engineering reflect this commitment, making it a symbol of Czech craftsmanship and European excellence.
Our test drive in Czechia proves that the all new Skoda Superb is more than just a car; it’s the perfect blend of luxury, practicality, and advanced technology, all rooted in 130 years of automotive history.
