Automobiles Review

Prices for the award-winning new Škoda Superb Estate have been announced. Prices start at just £17,715 OTR for the Superb Estate S with the 1.4 TSI 125bhp engine. With class-leading legroom and boot space, a long list of standard equipment and Škoda’s legendary great value, the Superb Estate sets a new standard for estate motoring.

The Superb Estate will be available in three trim levels, S, SE and Elegance. A choice of six engines will be offered, three petrol and three diesel, ranging from the entry-level 1.4 TSI 125bhp to the range-topping 3.6 V6 260bhp DSG 4×4.

The estate will carry a premium over the hatch of £1,050 for the S trim and £1,200 for SE and Elegance models. A complete price list is below.

The Superb Estate includes features that are unique over its sister hatch version. These include roof rails (black on the S; chrome on SE and Elegance); a removable LED torch; and load-bay illuminating lights built into the tailgate. SE and Elegance also feature a load partition and tethering system in the boot as standard.

New options available for Superb Estate include an electrically operated boot with an automatically retractable parcel shelf; electrically operated panoramic sunroof; KESSY keyless entry and start system and a variable boot floor that pulls out to protect the rear bumper. Option prices will follow shortly.

Superb Estate offers fantastic value with class-leading legroom, a cavernous boot space (1,865 litres seats down) and a long list of standard equipment. A complete list of standard equipment is below.

Škoda’s newest flagship model goes on sale 26 February 2010.
