New Skoda Superb: our exclusive preview - Introduction

Skoda's flagship Superb model will be relaunched next September.

This is not just a refreshed model with minor modifications, though, but a whole new car, built in-house by Skoda.

The company is so proud of its work so far that it invited whatcar.com out to the final phases of hot-weather testing in Death Valley, USA, where we had exclusive access to disguised prototypes of the car.

The public won't get to see the car until the Geneva motor show in March.

Read on to find out Skoda's plans for the car and what it's like to drive.
