In our latest video Damien O’Carroll takes a look at the new Skoda Superb and comes away more than impressed.

The new Superb comes to New Zealand with a choice of two different body styles - sedan or wagon. The car Damien drives in the video is the 4WD 140kW diesel wagon.

While the old car was an exceptionally good car, the new Superb ups the ante considerably, particularly in terms of standard equipment and technology - all models come standard with autonomous braking, a driver alert system, heated electric folding side mirrors, cornering lights, front and rear parking sensors with a backing camera, dual zone climate air conditioning, an electrically adjustable driver’ seat, heated front seats, an electric rear hatch, LED interior and ambient lights, Bluetooth with a signal booster, satellite navigation and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto phone integration. The 2WD cars have leather/alcantara interior trim and 18-inch alloy wheels.

The AWD cars gain full leather trim, 19-inch alloy wheels, lane assist and blind spot detection, keyless entry and start, rear privacy glass and electrically adjustable front seats with lumbar support, while the top spec 206kW 4X4 also adds radar cruise control, a park assist function, heated rear seats and an upgraded infotainment/navigation system.

Skoda have also focussed on making the Superb sportier, while also retaining all of its trademark comfort and incredible space.

This means the new Superb is not only exceptional value for money, it is also quite a bit of fun to throw around on a winding road! For more information including latest pricing, go to www.skoda.co.nz
