Forget the Yeti... This is Skoda's real monster!
The vast Skoda Superb Combi has been spied out on test, revealing for the first time what drivers can expect from the vast new machine.
At the front, the spcious model incorporates many of the details first revealed on the standard saloon. At the rear however, it is all change, with a generous tailgate replacing the innovative split hatchback of the standard model.
It will be virtually the same length as the standard Superb, measuring around 4,850mm. But because it’s taller and benefits from a revised rear bench, the estate promises far greater load-lugging ability. Drivers will have the choice of six VW-sourced engines: three petrols and three diesels.Entry-level models get the 105bhp 1.9 TDI oil-burner, while the flagship will take power from a 3.2-litre V6 delivering 260bhp. Five and six-speed gearboxes will be available, although bosses have also hinted that a slick-shifting, six-speed semi-automatic – based on Skoda parent company VW’s DSG transmission – will also be offered shortly after the car is launched.
A four wheel drive version is also under consideration, while entry level machines look set to cost from around £16,000. For more details click here.
