2024 Skoda Superb is here

When the fourth-generation Skoda Superb was spotted testing two years ago, little was known about this upcoming car. Now, when the premiere is approaching, Skoda has published several photos.

As previously predicted, the car will have a lower roofline and wide and thin taillights, including a slightly longer rear suspension. It will have a new radiator grille and the side profile will be improved with strong shoulder lines.

It will be offered in sedan and station wagon versions, and larger dimensions and a better coefficient of air resistance are the main innovations. 4912 mm long, 1834 mm wide and 1481 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2841 mm, the sedan is 43 mm longer and 12 mm wider than its predecessor. The interior is spacious enough to accommodate five passengers, and provides 645 liters of luggage space. It is equipped with a 13-inch infotainment screen and a 10-inch digital cockpit.

When it comes to the powertrain, there are three gasoline and two diesel options available that will meet Euro 7 emission standards, as well as a plug-in hybrid available only in the station wagon version. Gasoline engines are 1.5 mHEV with 150 hp/110 kW, and 2.0 TSI with 204 hp/150 kW and 265 hp/195 kW (AWD). The diesel options are the 2.0 TDI diesel engine with 150 hp/110 kW and 193 hp/142 kW (AWD). All engines are paired with a DSG gearbox. It should also be noted that the new Superb is built on the modular MQB platform of the Volkswagen Group.

New Skoda Scala and Kamiq

Since the Skoda Scala and Kamiq appeared on the market in 2019, the Czech car manufacturer has not presented their refreshed versions. However, the time has come for that too. The presentation is announced for the beginning of August, and several teasers reveal the design of the refreshed versions.

When it comes to the powertrain, there will be two types of engines to choose from: a 1.0L three-cylinder TSI and a 1.5L four-cylinder TSI engine. Both versions are paired with a 6-speed or 7-speed automatic transmission. Diesel TDI engines are not sure to remain as an option, and the reason could be EU emissions regulations.

In terms of design, we can expect both models with slightly thinner front lights, redesigned bumpers, and newly designed rims. In the cabin, there will be no major changes.

In addition to the new Scala and Kamiq, Skoda is preparing to launch an electric version of the Enyaq SUV in the next few years, as well as new versions of some of the Czech car manufacturer’s most popular models, the Kodiaq and Superb. The plan is that a new version of the Octavia, as well as several electric models, will arrive on the market in the next three years.

Skoda announces six new electric cars by 2027

Is the auto industry in Europe in trouble? This question can be heard lately, and it is based on the fact that many companies are moving production from Europe or thinking about it. However, companies are working hard on the electrification of existing models as well as the production of new ones. Such is the case with Skoda, which announced the arrival of six electric cars by the end of 2026, and total investments of 5.6 billion euros.

Officially, the European Union bans the sale of new cars with an internal combustion engine by 2035. Skoda announces the arrival of the Compact model next year, as a compact crossover called the Elroq. It is the electric successor of the Karoq model, which will be 4.5 meters long and will be “an ideal family car with a spacious and very practical interior”.

The refreshed Enyaq and Enyaq Coupe will be introduced in 2025, will experience significant changes that include the Modern Solid design. Skoda hasn’t said much about these models, but renderings suggest they have a more aggressive-looking front fascia without the traditional grille.

Other models are expected from 2025, and the first is Small. It is a sub-compact SUV-style car, 4.1 meters long, and the basic price will be 25,000 euros. It looks like it will be Skoda’s version of Volkswagen’s ID.2all, which will be built in Spain. The Combi is expected in 2026 as a spacious electric station wagon with a length of about 4.7 meters, and it will play a “key role” and will “bring the power of the particularly popular and successful Škoda body design into the electric age.” This model will be ideal for families and businesses.

The latest to hit the market is a seven-seat crossover inspired by last year’s Vision 7S concept, the Skoda Space. It will be Skoda’s largest electric car with a length of about 4.9 meters and a huge interior space. Also, it will be decorated with the new Modern Solid design language. This design reinterprets traditional features and boldly breaks new ground. The Czech manufacturer promises a “minimalist and functional” exterior design that “conveys a sense of security and strength.”

Škoda does not give up on internal combustion engines, so those models remain in the offer. The new internal combustion engines will play a key role, and Škoda intends to improve their efficiency. The Czech company is taking over the development of the EA211 engine from Volkswagen, and the internal combustion engines will enable individual mobility in all markets. The refreshed Superb and Kodiaq arrive in the fall, and will be offered with gasoline and diesel options, as well as a plug-in hybrid.
