Mladá Boleslav, 11 March 2024 – A spacious, clean design and the new range structure with Design Selections define the interior of the Superb Combi estate. The free-standing infotainment display measuring up to 13 inches – a first for the Superb – immediately catches the eye, just like the intuitive Škoda Smart Dials. For the first time, customers can complement the 10-inch Virtual Cockpit with an optional head-up display. All textiles, including the headliner, contain recycled materials.

“We have closely listened to our customers and brought haptic controls back. The result is new Škoda Smart Dials, combining haptic and digital elements for even quicker, easier and more intuitive on-board operation. Bundling numerous functions, they contribute effectively to reducing driver distraction and thus enhance safety on the road.”

Johannes Neft, Škoda Auto Board Member for Technical Development

There are three trim levels available for the new Superb, each comes with different Design Selections. These are complemented by themed option packages and further individualisation possibilities. The basic Essence trim level includes the Studio Design Selection, while the Selection trim level offers the Design Selections Loft, Lounge, Suite Black and Suite Cognac. The Superb Combi L&K comes with the Design Selections Suite Black and Suite Cognac, featuring specific details such as embroidered L&K lettering.

The overall impression in the interior is dominated by the newly designed centre console. With the selector lever moved to the steering column, the new centre console adds to an enhanced sense of space. The new Phone Box, which comes as standard for the Selection trim level and above, now enables fast inductive smartphone charging at 15 watts while also ventilating the phone during the charging process.

The multifunctional Škoda Smart Dials have a textured surface in Unique Dark Chrome and combine haptic and digital elements for particularly easy and intuitive operation. The three dials can be turned and pressed to control various vehicle functions. Each Smart Dial also has a 32 millimetre digital display. The two outer Smart Dials for the driver and front passenger control the interior temperature, seat heating and seat ventilation. The activated function is shown on the display and changes when the control is pressed. The centre Smart Dial controls up to four functions selected by the user from the following six: infotainment volume, fan speed, air direction, smart air conditioning, driving modes or map zoom. The central Smart Dial can be configured by pressing and holding. A settings menu for configuring the central control's functions appears on the infotainment display. A short press of each knob confirms the selected functions. Any adjustments to the configured functions are made by turning each Smart Dial.

For the first time in the Superb, the central infotainment display is a free-standing unit. A handrest makes it easy and comfortable to use the touchscreen, which measures 10 inches, or optionally 13 inches in combination with the navigation function. The menu structure offers three basic menu icons: “Home”, “Car” and “App”. From Selection trim level upwards, a head-up display is available as an option for the first time. It projects navigation, cruise control/predictive speed limiter, traffic sign recognition and lane assist information into the driver’s field of vision. A 10-inch Virtual Cockpit comes as standard.

The all-new Superb Combi estate comes with three different front seat configurations. All textiles in the Superb Combi contain recycled polyester. The cognac-coloured leather is sustainably tanned using water from olive oil production.

The optional Family/Business package includes rear side airbags, the Sleep package, tablet holders on the front seat backrests, a waste bin and roller blinds on the rear side windows. The 725-watt Canton Sound System (optionally available from Selection upwards, standard with L&K) has a 16-channel amplifier, a digital equaliser and twelve loudspeakers. These are complemented by a central speaker in the dashboard and a subwoofer in the space-saver spare wheel.

The ambient lighting feature comes as standard with the Lounge and Suite Design Selections, offering ten independently selectable colours: one set for the dashboard and both the front and rear door panels, and another set for the front and rear footwells plus the storage compartments in all the doors.

This feature is available as an option from the Loft trim level upwards and standard on the L&K.
