ŠKODA’s Superb Sportline sedan and wagon return next month after a prolonged absence with an array of new standard features.
The Superb Scout 4×4, originally intended as a limited edition to meet demand for one of the most capacious cars on the market, is carried over to 2021 with standard updates that include a detachable tow bar.

Having missed the 2020 model year due to WLTP-related production unavailability, the 2021 Superb returns with a new driveaway sticker that is more than amortised by the addition of $3400 in new equipment. This list includes wireless charging and wireless Apple Carplay, Matrix headlights and Virtual Cockpit.
Sedan and wagon alike retain the 2.0-litre direct injection turbo petrol four cylinder engine of 206kW/350Nm driven through all four wheels.
