The Skoda Superb is on track to be heavily updated for a fourth generation, returning in 2024 to take the fight to the Peugeot 508 with a choice of ICE and hybrid powertrains in a practical estate body.
Skoda recently detailed a bold electrification plan under which it will introduce a new flagship electric SUV, an electric city car and an electric alternative to the Karoq crossover by 2026. However, it will maintain - and refreshits ICE product offering in the run-up to the 2030 ban, when it estimates that such cars will still account for 30% of sales.
A new-generation Superb with predominantly ICE propulsion will play a core role in maintaining that share. In 2021, the Superb accounted for more than 66,000 of Skoda's 878,000 global sales.
Given that the current Superb shares the bulk of its underpinnings with the Volkswagen Passat, alongside which it is built in Emden, Germany, it's expected that the same will be true of the next-generation car.
