NEW ŠKODA SUPERB ESTATE
Škoda is set to unveil the new Superb Estate in 2010.
The new Superb Estate is 4,838 mm long, 1,817 mm wide and 1,510 mm high. Luggage compartment volume is 633 litres, rising to 1,865 litres with the rear seats folded down. For the first time ever in a Skoda car, the manufacturer offers an electrically controlled tailgate as an option. When open, the boot cover automatically moves to its middle position to open up more space for comfortable luggage handling. The vehicle's low loading edge, and the floor platform that can be moved out over the rear bumper when the tailgate is open, make loading big objects a lot easier.
The engine portfolio of the Superb Estate is identical with that of the Superb, i.e. three petrol units (1.4 TSI 125bhp, 1.8 TSI 160bhp and 3.6 FSI V6 360bhp) and two diesel engines (2.0 TDI PD 103 kW and 2.0 TDI CR DPF 125 kW). All of these engines are based on direct fuel injection for low fuel consumption and emission values. The latest generation of the Haldex transmission will be featured in the all wheel drive versions of the vehicle.
Optionally, the Superb Estate will be available with an electrically controlled two-piece panoramic sunroof. When sunlight is too bright, it is possible to cover the glass roof with a sunblind. Another interesting innovation is a fin-shaped roof antenna – its slim shape makes the rear part of the roof line extremely elegant. |
