In addition to a new EV lineup, which includes an electric estate similar in size to the Octavia, an entry-level compact urban crossover priced at £22,000, an SUV called the Elroq, a production version of the Vision 7S SUV concept, and the Skoda Enyaq iV, the 2024 Skoda Superb will feature refreshed exterior looks, improved technologies, and a redesigned interior. The upgraded design will play a key role in enhancing their appeal, with new thin daytime running lights and redesigned rear lights being among the confirmed changes so far.
“The Superb and the [second-generation] Kodiaq are two important cornerstones of the Skoda model range,” noted CEO Klaus Zellmer. “That’s why introducing the new generations of both models is so special for us. The Superb is our flagship ICE vehicle and will continue to set standards in terms of comfort and space in its fourth generation, available as both a hatch and an estate. We are dedicated to meeting our customers’ needs and providing the best of both worlds, so both models will also be offered with plug-in and mild-hybrid options.”

While the SUV trend is rapidly growing, the Skoda Superb Estate remains one of the best choices for a large family car. Although it may not have the same visual presence as its Kodiaq stablemate, it offers an enormous, comfortable, and competitively priced option, with a wide range of fuel-efficient engines. Therefore, its fourth-generation successor will have a tough act to follow when it arrives in 2024.
The new Superb hatch and estate are built on the same platform as the jointly developed Volkswagen Passat. The styling has been updated, with slimmer headlights and tail-lights, to align with the design of the new Kodiaq, which will be launching around the same time. Compared to its predecessor, the new Superb Estate is 40mm longer and 5mm taller, with a bigger boot that now offers 690 litres of space, surpassing the Peugeot 508 SW and the rugged-looking Citroën C5 X.
Prices, trim levels, and specifications will be confirmed in November 2023. The lineup will include a standard Superb, a sportier-looking Sportline version, and the luxury-focused Laurin & Klement trim. The slightly raised and more rugged-looking Scout estate will not be available in the UK.
