The Skoda Superb dates back in 1934, when over 1600 units were adapted to military purposes, including some 4x4 prototypes. Its production lasted until 1949. 50 years later, a new Superb was launched at the IAA international motor show in Frankfurt, the 2001 model being considered the first generation.
The most impressive thing about the first generation was the roominess offered by the Superb, the passengers enjoying lots of space that even allowed them to keep their legs crossed. The Superb was Skoda’s largest model.
In 2013, a facelifted version of the second generation was released, bringing lots of changes, both exterior and interior wise. The front and rear were changed, and even the logo was refreshed.
The technical innovations brought adaptive-bixenon headlights with LED daytime running lights, DAA (Driver Activity Assistant, a system that detected the driver’s fatigue) and an Automatic Paking Assistant.
The twin-door system was kept for this version as well, buyers being able to open either the trunk lid or the entire rear trunk, thus having facile access to place or retrieve light items.
Two new color paints were available, Metal grey and Moon white and three new alloy wheels of 16, 17 and 18 inches.
Skoda worked on improving the fuel consumption and co2 emissions, thus managed to do so and reduced the emissions with 19 per cent. The car came with four gasoline engines and three diesel engines.
