With the fourth generation of the Superb, the Škoda brand expanded its range of plug-in hybrid models to include a spacious saloon and estate. Now, in the case of the saloon, the range is further extended by a new versionthat adds a more powerful variant to the existing powertrain. Customers interested in the Superb iV can now choose not only the standard 150 kW output but also a significantly enhanced vehicle with a system output of 200 kW, making it the most powerful Škoda model with a combustion engine in the current range.

Modified technology

The technical basis of the Superb iV is identical for both trim levels; the increase in system performance is the result of an upgraded 1.5 TSI internal combustion engine, whose output rises from 110 to 130 kW, along with new software settings. At the same time, torque has increased by 50 Nm to a final figure of 400 Nm. The electric motor output remains at 85 kW, as does the battery capacity of 25.7 kWh. The combination of a combustion engine and an electric motor with a combined output of up to 200 kW makes this model the most powerful Škoda car with a combustion engine.

The braking system has also been improved. At the front, the cooling method has been changed: while the existing version draws cooling air from the engine compartment via a grille in the wheel arch, the more powerful version uses a new duct concealed behind the bumper. The rear brakes are completely new, with discs measuring 310 mm in diameter and 22 mm in thickness (the 150-kW version uses 300 × 12 mm discs) and feature ventilation. The same brakes are also used to provide effective deceleration for the fastest Superb variant, the 2.0 TSI 4×4 with an output of 195 kW.

Top of the range

This version comes closest to the dynamics of a more powerful plug-in hybrid. Thanks to its 200 kW and 400 Nm, the Superb iV can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds — one second quicker than the 150 kWversion and only 1.5 seconds slower than the most powerful purely internal combustion variant, the 2.0 TSI 4×4.

The existing 150 kW plug-in hybrid will continue to be the only available powertrain for the Superb iV Combi, while the saloon will offer it in the Selection trim level.
