In 2001, Škoda Auto presented theMontreuxconcept car at theGeneva International Motor Show,[4] with the production version being released the same year as the Superb.
The first generation of the modern Škoda Superb was based on the 1999Shanghai–VolkswagenPassat B5 LWB, which has a 10 cm (3.9 in) longer wheelbase than the standard Passat B5 and used theVolkswagen Group B5 PL45+ platform. In 2005, Shanghai-Volkswagen imported the Superb,rebadging it as theVolkswagen Passat Lingyu.[5]
In 2009, one year after the B5 generation had been discontinued in Europe, the facelifted Volkswagen Passat Lingyu was unveiled in China.[6] In 2011, the Volkswagen Passat Lingyu was discontinued, succeeded by thePassat NMS.
Severalpetrol anddieselinternal combustion engines are shared with the rest of theVolkswagen Group range; and like theB5 Passat andB6/B7 Audi A4 which use the sameautomobile platform, they are mounted at thefront, and orientatedlongitudinally.
The base model, the 'Classic', included the 1.9 litreinline four cylinder (I4)Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI)turbodiesel producing 74kilowatts (101 PS; 99 bhp), or a 2.0 litre petrol inline four rated at 85 kW (116 PS; 114 bhp). The 'Comfort' and 'Elegance' models offered with a 1.8 twenty valveTurbo petrol I4 rated at 119 kW (162 PS; 160 bhp), or either a 142 kW (193 PS; 190 bhp)V6 2.8 litrepetrol engine, or a 2.5 litre V6 TDI rated at 120 kW (163 PS; 161 bhp).
Transmissions included a five speed or a six speedmanual gearbox, or aZF sourced five speedtiptronicautomatic. In addition to the 1.9 litre "Pumpe Düse" (PD)Unit Injector engine, the Superb eventually gained the 103 kW (140 PS; 138 bhp) 2.0 litre TDI PD (BSS). This was an 8V single camshaft engine based on the 1.9 litre TDI that was unique to the Superb with two main differences over the 1.9 litre TDI. The BSS engine shared the same twin balance shaft oil pump used in the 16V twin camshaft 2.0 litre TDI PD engine that can be found in various Audi models. It also featured a wet DPF that used fluid contained in a tank under the spare wheel to generate heat for regeneration. This was used over a standard dry DPF due to space limitations in the engine bay.
The Superb received a minorfacelift in August 2006[7] incorporating Škoda's newradiator grille,headlights, side repeater indicators integrated into the door mirrors, and C-shaped tail lights in the style ofŠkoda Roomster and second-genŠkoda Octavia.
An interior redesign completed the upgrades. A 'Laurin and Klement' model became the top of the range, replacing the 'Elegance' model. A range of new engines was introduced and the interior featured real wood as part of some trim levels. The 'Comfort', 'Elegance' and 'Laurin & Klement' models feature anumbrella stowed in the rear door panel. It was also the first Škoda to be available with an optional CD navigation system called the DX, with that option you automatically got the more powerful Sound System with 8 speakers, DSP amplifier, more DSP effects in the audio settings such as Sound Focus, Genre based EQ, more advanced speed-sensitive volume control and a 6-CD changer.[8][9]
Škoda considered astation wagon version of the Superb. However, it was never put in production, the reason being Volkswagen feared that such a version would take too much market share from its ownPassatVariant andAudi'sA4Avant. When the Superb was released in the United Kingdom in May 2002, the most expensive variant was priced at only £1,000 more than the cheapestJaguar X-Type.

An all new Škoda Superb (B6, Typ 3T) was unveiled at theGeneva Motor Show in early March 2008.[12]
Based on a stretched version of the latestA5 Octaviaplatform, theVolkswagen Group A6 PQ46, this Superb is a fourdoor fiveseatsedan, with an innovative "TwinDoor"trunk lid that can operate as a conventionaltrunk or as a hatchback that includes opening with the rear glass.
Being based on the Octavia A5 platform, this Superb now uses atransverse engine layout. A Superb Combi – five doorestate with 633 litres in the boot – was presented to the press in June 2009, and debuted at theFrankfurt Motor Show in September 2009.
When launched,petrol engine options included fourVolkswagen Group sourced units; consisting of an entry-level 92kilowatts (125PS; 123hp) 1.4 litreinline four cylinder (I4) TFSI (with aturbocharger andFuel Stratified Injection), and a 118 kW (160 PS; 158 hp) 1.8 litre I4 TFSI. The flagship 3.6 litre 191 kW (260 PS; 256 hp) FSIVR6 engine (a detuned version of that fitted in the Passat R36) comes withfour-wheel drive and six speedDirect-Shift Gearbox (DSG). The Škoda Superb 3.6 FSI 4x4 has a top speed 250 km/h and acceleration of 0–100 km/h in 6.5 seconds.
Diesel engine options included 2.0 litre I4Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) withPumpe-Düse injection which was rated at 103 kW (140 PS; 138 hp), 2.0 litre I4 TDI 125 kW (170 PS; 168 hp) with common rail, and a 77 kW (105 PS; 103 hp) 1.9 litre I4 TDI available also for the Greenline version with reduced fuel consumption.
In 2010, the engine range was updated. The car was now available with a 147 kW (200 PS; 197 hp) 2.0 litre TFSI petrol four cylinder. Changes in diesel offer included two switches: 103 kW (140 PS; 138 hp) two litre with Pumpe-Düse injection was replaced with common rail engine; the 77 kW (105 PS; 103 hp) 1.9 litre PD unit was replaced with 1.6 litre common rail engine of the same power.
Transmissions include five and six speedmanual gearboxes, and the popularautomatic Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) with either six or seven speeds, as an option on almost all engine/trim combinations. In addition to the standard front-wheel-drive, the Superb and Superb Combi were both available with all-wheel-drive with a fourth generationHaldex clutch. The wheel sizes were a choice of 16, 17 and 18-inches.
Trim levels available in the majority of Europe were named the 'Comfort', 'Ambition', 'Elegance', 'Greenline', 'Exclusive' and 'Laurin & Klement' (May 2012) – with Laurin & Klement being top of the range. In the United Kingdom, the levels available were 'S', 'SE', 'Elegance', 'Laurin & Klement' and 'Greenline'. In Sweden, an important market for Škoda, a version of the four-wheel-drive Superb Combi with off-road pretensions went on sale in June 2012.[13] Analogous to theSubaru Outback andVolvo XC70 it was called the "AllDrive." Based on the Elegance equipment level it features black plastic cladding around the lower parts of the car and around the wheelwells. Its ground clearance is also increased to the tune of 20 mm (0.79 in) and a frontskid plate is added.[14] In Sweden it was only available with the three different engines (one petrol, two diesels) and four-wheel-drive, but when the model was made available across Europe as the "Škoda SuperbOutdoor" one month later (reaching the United Kingdom in October 2012) it was also available with front-wheel-drive, and most of the engine range.[15]
For the Superb there is an extensive list of standard and extra equipment, including bi-xenon headlamps with AFS, front/rear proximity sensors, automatic park assist system, tyre pressure monitoring system, navigation system with large 6.5-inch colour touch screen display and 30 GB hard drive, television broadcast receiver, 12-speaker Sound System with Surround Sound (Amundsen, Bolero, Columbus), electrically adjustable seats and mirrors, rain sensor, sunroof with solar panels that allow circulation of air in parked car, front/rear heated seats, ventilated front seats upholstered in leather. For the Superb Combi a large tilt/slide two piece panoramic sunroof was an option.

In April 2013, Škoda unveiled a facelifted Superb inShanghai. It was released for sale in the European market in June 2013. Updated exterior design features Škoda newdesign language elements. Headlights are fitted with integrated LED daylight running lights; diodes are standard for tail lights, too. The Twindoor opening mechanism was changed in order to provide easier operation: one button opens just the lid, while the other opens whole tailgate.
Up to now, one button was dedicated just for opening, while the other had shifting function. With the facelift, a combination of all wheel drive and DSG automatic transmission appeared on offer for the 125 kW two litre diesel engine. Starting from January 2014, design Outdoor package is available for the Superb Combi.
The list of features was slightly expanded too. The facelifted Superb received the latest generation of Automatic Parking Assistant. In addition to parallel parking (entering/exiting the parking space), the system is also capable of perpendicular parking (entering the parking space only).[21]
From now on, the passengers in the rear seats can adjust the passenger seat from the back. The electrical control is located on the side of the passenger seat near the centre console and is thus easy to operate from the back. Passengers in the rear can move the front seat forward and back and adjust the seat height and angle.

The fourth-generation Superb was officially unveiled on 2 November 2023.[49] The model will be offered as an estate and a liftback. It shares the same body panels and greenhouse with theVolkswagen Passat B9.[50][51] Both the Passat B9 and the Superb Mk4 are offered with petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid engine options, and are the first passenger vehicles of the Volkswagen Group to be based on a stretched version of theMQB Evo platform. Unlike its predecessor, a manual option will not be available.
The fourth-generation Superb features the brand's new "Modern Solid"design language "characterised by sharply drawn lines, clearly defined dynamic proportions and a modern sculptural and crystalline styling." Compared to its predecessor, it has a 10% and 15% reduction in drag coefficient for the liftback and Combi models respectively.[52]
The front has the second-generation LED Matrix beam headlights with new Crystallinium, new octagonal grille finished in unique dark chrome, the Škoda logo on the bonnet and the air curtains inside the front bumper. The side has a bodyline that runs from the front lights to the rear lights. The rear has Škoda lettering on tailgate finished in unique dark chrome, Crystalline-designed LED taillights with animated lighting features and the Combi has an extended rear spoiler with side finlets. The taillights are the only design element on the rear that both the liftback and Combi models have in common.[53][54]
The interior has a 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit digital driver's display, 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system (which can be upgraded to a larger 13-inch screen), Smart Dials with three rotary dials used to operate the drive modes, HVAC system and volume, and the gear selector is mounted on the steering wheel column. All textile materials used are made from 100% recyclable materials, and the ‘cognac’ brown leather option is tanned using waste water from olive processing.[55][56]
There is a total of twenty-eight Simply Clever features such as a Jumbo Box with a 5.5 L (0.19 cu ft) storage space underneath the armrest, Phone Box wireless charging slot with a cooling function, and an umbrella stored inside the driver's door. Other interior features includes a 14-speaker Canton surround sound system, Ergo seats with 10-point massage function, and aheads-up display available for the first time on the Superb. The liftback and Combi models has a boot space of 645 L (22.8 cu ft) and 690 L (24 cu ft) respectively, which can expand to 1,920 L (68 cu ft) on the Combi model when the rear seats are folded.[56][57]
The fourth-generation Superb achieved a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, with its results were applied from the Volkswagen Passat B9 as both vehicles have a similar body structure.[58]
