SKODASuperb Combi 2009 - 2013

　　Skoda built the Combi version as the biggest model in the Superb.

　　While some voices said that the Czech brand Skoda shouldn't offer a mid-size premium vehicle, others considered the Superb an excellent addition. The first generation of the Superb, under Volkswagen management, was based on the same platform as the Chinese version of the Passat B5, which was longer than the regular version. Starting with the second generation, the carmaker produced the Superb also as a station-wagon. In 2009, it unveiled the car at the Frankfurt Motor Show, during the world financial crisis, and it was a hit.

　　The front of the car raised the biggest controversy from the design point of view. While the headlights resembled a reversed shape as the sedan's taillights, they didn't have a usual form. For the station-wagon, they looked even more out of place since the taillights were utterly different. But all the Skoda design elements were there, starting with the grille crossed by vertical slats and followed by the V-shapes on the hood. In the rear, the car featured a sloped tailgate with a roof-spoiler at the top.

　　Inside, Skoda offered a roomy interior for up to five adults. Its minimalist design trend didn't mean it was cheap-looking. The designers used a clean theme and grouped the controls and features, so they will take minimum space. In the back, the split-folding bench could extend the trunk from an impressive 633 liters (22.3 cu-ft) up to a vast 1.865 (65.86 cu-ft) liters.

　　Skoda offered the Superb Combi with a wide engine choice, from a small 1.4-liter turbocharged engine to a big, 3.6-liter V6. Some versions were available with an all-wheel-drive system and with an automatic transmission.
