The Škoda Superb offers efficient diesel and petrol four-cylinder engines, always mated to a DSG automatic gearbox, front-wheel drive, and meeting the latest emission standards. A mild-hybrid petrol and an all-diesel engine are available. A plug-in hybrid petrol engine is also available for the Combi version.

Superb features the option of the next-generation Dynamic Chassis Control Plus (DCC Plus) with Driving Mode Select. DCC Plus (L&K Only) allows drivers to customise the vehicle’s handling to their personal preferences on a scale of options from Sport to Comfort – an à-la-carte chassis setup. The new generation offers faster shock absorber control and a wider range of damping characteristics, which you’ll notice in the form of improved driving dynamics and comfort.

Progressive steering combines dynamic car control – so that drivers don’t have to keep shuffling their hands round the steering wheel – with easy manoeuvring (in city traffic or when parking) at a larger angle of steering wheel rotation.

Automated gear-changing is essential for ease of control. The 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission is mated to all engines as a standard. A key advantage is the ability to change gears smoothly at lightning speed while keeping to low fuel consumption.
