What is the Škoda Superb?
The Superb is Škoda’s large family car and flagship, with generous passenger space and a practical boot. It has been offered as a hatchback and an estate, which Škoda calls the Combi. The modern Superb returned in 2001, reviving a name used for the company’s earlier luxury cars. Space and comfort have been central to its role at the top of the range.
Superb generations
Generation I (2002–2008) was a spacious saloon and marked Škoda’s return to the large family-car class. Generation II (2008–2015) introduced the TwinDoor rear opening, which could open as a boot lid or a full hatch, and added the Combi estate. Generation III (2015–2023) brought a more expressive design, driver assistance and modern connectivity; a plug-in hybrid joined the range in 2019. Generation IV (2024–today) continues in hatchback and estate forms with updated interior technology and a broad choice of powertrains.
Engines, power and official economy
In EU registrations from 2010 to 2025, the Superb spans 1.4 to 3.6-litre engines and 77 kW (105 PS) to 210 kW (286 PS). Recorded fuels include petrol, diesel, hybrid and plug-in hybrid. The lowest listed EU consumption for petrol, diesel and hybrid versions is 1.1 L/100 km WLTP. The plug-in hybrid low is 0.5 L/100 km WLTP, a weighted official figure that assumes some journeys use electric power.
UK VCA figures from 2002 to 2026 span the same engine-size range and 77 kW (105 PS) to 195 kW (265 PS). The lowest listed conventional figure is 3.7 L/100 km NEDC; the plug-in hybrid low is 5.2 L/100 km WLTP, also weighted for electric driving. France’s ADEME figures from 2012 to 2015 show 77 kW (105 PS) to 191 kW (260 PS), with a 4.2 L/100 km NEDC low. WLTP and NEDC are different European test procedures, so results should be read alongside their stated procedure and market.
Where was the Superb sold?
EU registrations total 1,491,958 from 2010 to 2025. Among the leading versions in those figures, 2.0-litre diesels feature prominently. The Superb’s roomy cabin and estate option have made it a familiar family and company car across Europe.
