All-new 2024 Skoda Superb wagon sketched

New design sketches of the 2024 Skoda Superb wagon have been released as part of the final build-up to its global launch on November 2.

As the fresh drawings show, the new Skoda Superb is in store for more slippery styling than before, drawing from the Volkswagen-owned Czech brand’s latest ‘Modern Solid’ design language, where slimmer headlights and a wider and more prominent grille dominate the front-end.

We already know from multiple previous teasers that the changes aren’t quite as dramatic as the sketches suggest, but the wagon’s shoulders are more pronounced and there will be more rakish rear styling.

Those slimline headlights will feature LED Matrix technology, while new Sportline and Laurin & Klement model grades will carry more distinct styling, with the former offering bigger wheels and a sportier body kit.

Under the bonnet, there's the choice of three petrol engines and two diesels, some of which feature mild-hybrid electrification.

At the top of the range, the Superb gains an advanced 150kW 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid powertrain with a pure-electric range of more than 100km.

However, there are no plans to offer the PHEV in Australia, with Skoda Australia skipping plug-in hybrids and waiting until full-electric models become available.

From its introduction, the new base engine will be a mild-hybrid 1.5-litre turbo that produces 110kW. Two versions of the 2.0-litre turbo petrol will be available, one with 150kW and another with 195kW.

Just one diesel will be available: a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel with either 110kW or 140kW.

All engines will be combined with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, with all-wheel drive standard on the most powerful petrol and turbo-diesel 2.0-litre.

The wagon measures 4902mm long, 1482mm high and 1849mm wide, making it longer and taller than the current model.

It has the same 2841mm wheelbase as the previous generation, which makes sense as the fourth-generation Superb sedan and wagon are built on an updated version of the current MQB platform.

The more generous proportions translate into extra space, Skoda promises, for both the driver and passengers, plus a boot capacity of 690 litres for the wagon.

The wagon now comes with an electric parcel shelf while there’s a new tablet in the second row that’s mounted on the centre arm rest between the driver and front passenger seat.

Ahead of the driver is a large 12.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a head-up display. For the first time, the gear shifter has been deleted and replaced by a column-mounted shifter to maximise space on the centre console.

Driver assist aids have also been enhanced, with a new turn assist, curve assist and a new crossroad assist feature, while there’s now up to 10 airbags on board.

The new Superb sedan and wagon will be built in Slovakia alongside the ninth-generation 2024 Volkswagen Passat, which will only be offered as a wagon and has been dropped for the Australian market.
