Since the demise of Australian car manufacture, Australian police forces have assessed several brands as they replaced fleets of Commodore and Falcon vehicles. Kia and Hyundai have featured highly, and now ŠKODA joins the list with the Western Australia Police buying 55 ŠKODA Superb Wagons for highway patrol duty. This makes ŠKODA the first European brand to score a large scale sale by an Australian law enforcement agency.

The Czech-produced ŠKODA Superb Wagon is much awarded, has a 206kW/350Nm turbo petrol four cylinder engine, AWD, and a six speed dual clutch automatic transmission. The frisky wagon does the 0-100km/h in around 5.8 seconds, not far behind the previous V8 Australians.
55 ŠKODA Superb Wagons on WAPOL’s Highway Patrol will be joined by another 10 Suberbs in due course.
These Highway Patrol ŠKODA Superb Wagons come to the road as unmodified Sportline grade. The only difference between it and the model we have tested is that its Canton sub-woofer was taken out in order to fit a police-specification dual battery.
ŠKODA’s Superb Sportline is a large passenger car sold in either wagon or liftback form. You can read our Superb Scout Wagon review HERE. It proved to be handsome, powerful, and a great handler. We also noted the clever storage, and thought extras which came standard.
ŠKODA Australia Director Michael Irmer thanked WAPOL for choosing the Superb Wagon.
“ŠKODA could hope for no more resounding endorsement of our Superb than its selection by WAPOL,” he said. “To be the car of choice for the officers who serve the great state of Western Australia is an honour.”
