Frankfurt 2009: Skoda Superb estate
16 September 2009
- Sleek looks
- Up to 1865 litres of load space
- On sale early 2010
What is it?
An estate version of Skoda’ already roomy Superb
A recipe
Take one massive saloon/hatchback, add a longer, squarer, rear end and you have the makings of a very fine estate car
In the race for space Skoda has already pulled some great wagons out of the hat (the Octavia), and now it’s given its big Superb the same treatment.
The superb estate will be available with all of the same engines with the exception of the entry-level 1.4 TSI petrol and lowest-powered 1.9-litre diesel.
As far as petrols go, then, you’ll get the option of a 158bhp 1.8-litre or a 256bhp 3.6-litre V6, while the 2.0-litre diesels provide 138bhp or 168bhp.
How much space is there?
With the seats in place the Superb estate has 633 litres of space, but the seats fold (flat/easily/magically) to leave a loadbay with 1865 litres of space.
How much will it cost?
Prices haven’t been confirmed, but we’d expect them to start at around £17,500 when the Superb estate goes on sale in early 2010.
