Skoda Superb (2019)

The facelifted Skoda Superb has been spotted screening in the mountains before it goes on sale early in 2019. It’ll feature gently changed styling– although that’s not exactly evident in these pictures– and improvements to its engines and infotainment system.

We were quite shocked to see Skoda testing a refreshed version of its flagship vehicle, the Superb, last year, only about 12 months after the debut of its third modern-day generation. Now it makes a bit more sense that the Czech maker is working on a facelift for the Volkswagen Passat-based car and our spies have managed to catch not one, but two prototypes.
At this point, it’s quite tough to state what Skoda is doing with the Superb. The obvious response, obviously, would be a mid-life moderate refresh, however another possible choice is a plug-in variant, which was already confirmed to arrive in 2019. It will become the brand name’s first-ever PHEV and will feature the exact same 1.4-liter TSI turbo engine matched to a 114-horsepower (85-kilowatt) electrical motor the Passat GTE is featuring. The total output of the system will be 215 hp (160 kW) with combined CO2 emissions of just 39 grams per kilometer.

It’s mid-life facelift time for Skoda’s a lot of elegant model, although it’s only been on sale since 2015. Expect the new version to look pretty much like the outbound car, but it needs to come with tweaked headlights and brake lights, and a few changes to the bumpers.

More remarkable changes must happen within, including some software updates for the main touchscreen infotainment system and, potentially, a digital motorist’s display screen shared with VW. In addition to the outgoing car’s active cruise control and automated emergency situation braking, the Superb might likewise provide new safety technology.

The German signs on the back of this Superb say ‘test drive’ and ‘brake test’, which suggest that Skoda is tweaking the method its biggest car drives. The brakes might be firmer on the facelifted car, and the optional adaptive suspension might be fine-tuned to use a much better mix of comfort and sportiness. Judging by the little wheels on this pre-production mule, it might be the fuel-sipping GreenLine model, however all the Superb’s engines could get a few adjustments to make them more efficient.
