2025 Skoda Superb: Large liftback, wagon slide under $70,000

Skoda’s fourth-generation Superb has arrived in Australia, bringing revised styling, a different engine, and slightly increased prices over its predecessor.

Available in a sole Sportline variant in either sedan (liftback) or wagon body styles, the Superb now starts at $67,990 before on-road costs for the former – up from the previous model’s list price of $65,590 before on-roads.

The wagon, meanwhile, is priced at $69,690 before on-roads, while the outgoing wagon was listed for $71,990 drive-away.

Per industry classification, the Superb is Australia’s only remaining mass-market large car. However, even if you compare it to what are classified as medium passenger cars, there aren’t many of those to choose from anymore – petrol and hybrid alternatives include the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata and Toyota Camry.

Changes with the new generation of Superb include a revised tune for its turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which now makes 195kW of power – down from 206kW – and 400Nm of torque, up from 350Nm for the previous generation.

The six-speed dual-clutch automatic has been swapped out for a seven-speed alternative, resulting in a 0-100km/h sprint time that’s 0.3 seconds faster – as little as 5.6 seconds for the liftback. Fuel consumption is also down 0.3L/100km, now quoted at 7.7L/100km for the liftback.

Only all-wheel drive is offered in the Superb locally.

Outside, the Superb now sports 19-inch ‘Torcular’ alloy wheels and “second-generation” matrix LED headlights.

Sports seats upholstered in perforated leather are standard inside, while there’s a new 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system and 10-inch digital instrument cluster. There’s also a leather-wrapped, flat-bottom steering wheel, and the gear selector has been moved to the steering column.

Standard features include power-adjustable front seats, which both have heating, ventilation and massage functions as standard. Additionally, Skoda’s smart dials, which debuted in Australia with the new Kodiaq SUV, have now made their way to the Superb.

These dials are configurable, and are capable of managing several functions including climate, drive modes, and infotainment.

Several safety items have been added too, including traffic sign recognition, a surround-view camera and intelligent park assist, while the autonomous emergency braking and adaptive cruise control systems have been updated.

The Volkswagen Group’s Dynamic Chassis Control Plus (DCC) is now also standard, with up to 15 levels of suspension damping available.

All up, Skoda Australia says the additions equate to more than $10,900 in extra equipment, despite the relatively friendly price increase of $2400.
