After we saw the third generation Superb for the first time during Geneva Motor Show, Skoda unveiled hust a few weeks ago its first derivative: the Superb Estate. Built as a spcious alternative to the four door sedan, the new Superb Estate is 4856mm long and 1,864mm wide, which means 23mm longer and 47mm wider than its predecessor.
 
The 2,841mm wheelbase is 80mm longer, allowing for greater space within the passenger compartment. The boot is 27 litres larger than before, at 660 litres, expanding to 1,950 litres with the rear seat backs folded.
 
The range consists of five trim levels: S, SE, SE Business, SE L Executive and Laurin & Klement. All Superb models feature alloy wheels, air conditioning, LED rear lights, DAB digital radio, Bluetooth and a touchscreen infotainment system. As well as ESC, a standard feature is Multi-Collision brake included – this triggers automatic brake intervention after a collision, preventing or reducing the impact of a possible second collision. All models also feature an autonomous emergency braking system as standard.
 
The new Superb with its new 1.4 TSI S model is available for £19,840 – just £25 more than the outgoing S model.
SE models start from £22,390 and add 17-inch Helios alloy wheels, dual-zone air conditioning, rear parking sensors and cornering front fog lights. The SE’s impressive specification also includes Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and SmartLink – a system that allows smartphone owners to show their phone’s display on the car’s infotainment screen.
 
The SE Business is available with 1.6-litre TDI 120PS or 2.0 TDI 150 hp engines, with a standard six-speed manual gearbox or optional DSG gearbox. It starts from £22,735.
