Updated Skoda Superb revealed
Czech brand has added more gear to its large family car.
Skoda has increased the standard specification on its Superb range.
The Czech brand is looking to revitalise its large sedan and wagon ranges with a range of vital safety tech upgrades.
Available from September, the revised models will now feature blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, rear cross traffic alert and semi-autonomous driving functions that will steer, accelerate and brake automatically in dense traffic, plus the new Superb range now comes with a larger 9.2-inch touchscreen compared to the previous 8.0-inch.
Due to the increased equipment, Skoda has jacked up the price; with the 162TSI variant now costing $40,690 before on-road costs for the sedan and $42,390 in wagon form, a rise of $700. The 140TDI model now starts from $44,690 in sedan guise and $46,390 for the wagon which is a jump of $800 and the all-wheel drive Superb 206TSI also experiences an $800 price hike to bring its total to $51,790 and $53,490 for the sedan and wagon respectively.
The range-topping Sportline variant now costs $56,790 for the sedan and $58,490 for the wagon, which represents a rise of $4800 over the existing model.
However, the Sportline variant adds a further level of specification which includes adaptive damper control, a Canton sound system, electric adjustment and heated passenger seats, a hands-free boot and a new pale-green paint colour.
