STORY

The modern Superb, revived in 2001, is Skoda's flagship saloon. It is aimed at the executive class, with a focus on rear-seat space, comfort and value. The first generation was based on a long-wheelbase Volkswagen Passat. The second generation, from 2008, introduced the 'TwinDoor' boot, which opens either as a saloon lid or as a full liftback, and later generations kept the spacious liftback with limousine-like rear room. Across four generations it has grown into one of the roomiest cars in its class, with petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid power.
