“For 25 years, the Superb has been winning over private and fleet customers alike. With nearly 1.8 million vehicles delivered to customers worldwide across four generations, it has become one of the key pillars of Škoda’s success story. Today, well over half of all Superb vehicles are delivered as company cars. Across four generations, we have continued to develop the model while staying true to what our customers value most: generous space, comfort, practicality and modern technology. The latest generation carries these strengths forward with liftback and Combi estate body styles and the broadest powertrain portfolio in the model’s history, ranging from petrol and diesel engines to mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid options.”
Martin Jahn, Škoda Auto Board Member for Sales and Marketing
The return of a legendary name
The Superb name dates back to 1934, when the modernised Škoda 640 was given this nickname. Various Superb models were produced in several body styles until 1949, representing the pinnacle of the company’s technical capabilities at the time. More than five decades later, Škoda revived the name with the launch of the first modern-generation Superb in 2001. With exceptional rear-seat space, a wide choice of engines and generous equipment levels, the model marked Škoda’s return to the mid-size segment.
Four generations of progress
The first generation of the modern Superb established the defining attributes that continue to characterise the model today: comfort, space, practicality and elegant design. Introduced in 2008, the second generation featured the innovative TwinDoor rear-opening system. The range later expanded to include the popular Combi estate body style and all-wheel-drive variants. The third generation, unveiled in 2015, represented a major technological leap forward, introducing advanced connectivity, a broad range of driver-assistance systems and a significantly more expressive design language. In 2019, the Superb became Škoda’s first production model available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The current fourth generation, introduced in 2023, builds on this success with further advances in comfort, safety and digitalisation. It features a redesigned interior with Škoda Smart Dials and a broad range of efficient petrol, diesel, mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains.
Millions of customers worldwide
Since the launch of the first modern-generation Superb in 2001, nearly 1.8 million vehicles have been delivered to customers around the world. The model has become a key pillar of Škoda’s international growth, helping to strengthen the brand’s position in Europe and beyond. With its proven strengths, the Superb continues to appeal to private and fleet customers alike, as well as to government institutions, public authorities and police forces in numerous countries.
