2015 Skoda Superb 1.4L TSI 6MT FWD (150 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Skoda introduced the third generation of its flagship model, the Superb, in 2015, and it was available either as a station wagon or a sedan.

Volkswagen Group was good at creating more vehicles based on the same MQB platform, which was also used for the Golf and many other vehicles built under the automaker’s umbrella. Still, the Superb was among the largest ones, and the solution worked well for the Czech brand.

The Superb sported a cubist design language, with angular headlights and a wide grille between them. Its vertical slats concealed the radar needed for the adaptive cruise control and the automatic emergency braking. In addition, on the lower bumper, the Superb featured a second air intake that cooled other components of the vehicle. From its profile, the greenhouse sported a sloped-down tailgate at the back and a cab-forward overall look. Finally, at the back, the Superb featured a set of taillights extended on the trunk’s lid.

Inside, the dashboard featured a minimalist design language. Skoda added a 6.5″ touchscreen infotainment system as standard for the entire range on the center stack. The carmaker designed the front seats for long-distance trips, while at the back, it installed a split-folding bench seat. Thanks to the long wheelbase, the car provided plenty of room for five passengers, despite the intrusion of the transmission tunnel that crossed the car from front to back.

Under the hood, Skoda installed only four-cylinder engines, either turbocharged gasoline or diesel. They were paired with a six-speed manual. For the automatic versions, the automaker offered either a six-speed or a seven-speed (dual-clutch), depending on the engine and transmission system (front or all-wheel-drive).
