The Skoda Superb is still Skoda's largest and most luxurious family car. Based on the Volkswagen Passat in both chassis and mechanical parts, it has a slightly elongated wheelbase but, aside from a few variations on trim and lights, is virtually a Passat in every other sense. The Skoda Superb cars are Skoda's flag ship models, with the original version launched in 2002 and then updated in 2008.
At launch, the Skoda model was offered with four engine options; a 115bhp 2 litre, a turbocharged 150bhp 1.8 litre and two V6 options, the 2.8 litre petrol and the 2.5 litre TDi diesel. Later that year two more petrol options were released, both 1.9 litre with either 100 or 130 bhp. The original V6 option was revised in 2003 with the addition of 5bhp and also made Euro IV emissions compliant. 2006 saw the Skoda Superb undergo a bit of a facelift, including revisions to the grille and dashboard, plus with C-shaped rear light clusters the Skoda Superb became even more elegant. The model was entirely replaced in the new car market by the all new 2008 edition.
Skoda Superb sales have been greatly bolstered by such merits as winning 'Britain's Town Car of the Year Award' in 2003, and its noted presence in the German Golden Wheel Awards. Nearly new Skoda Superbs will benefit from improved handling and improved performance; however, older Skoda Superbs can often be picked up at almost bargain prices. Reliability is typically very good, with their similarity to the Volkswagen Passat also reflected in their respectable construction and design. Every model has its own advantages but all are equally elegant and comfortable.
