The Skoda Superb just got a face-lift at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show. Apart from new LED Matrix headlights and wheels, the Superb also gets a plug-in hybrid variant. The new Skoda Superb iV, as it is called, combines a 1.4 turbo-petrol engine with an electric motor for a total output of 218 hp. The Superb iV can also travel up to 55 kilometres in pure EV mode, thanks to a 13-kWh battery pack. Abhik checks out the India-bound Skoda Superb facelift in this edition of motor show updates presented by Michelin.
This year sees the introduction of the new ŠKODA iV sub-brand and the company’s two first electrified production models – ŠKODA’s first plug-in hybrid, the SUPERB iV, and the CITIGOe iV – the Czech carmaker is thus entering the era of electromobility. In addition to the SUPERB iV, a rugged SUPERB SCOUT has also been added to the portfolio of the recently revised flagship. The SCALA compact car and the KAMIQ city SUV also both come in two new variants: the new, top-of-the-range MONTE CARLO versions exude a sporty lifestyle, and the two new G-TEC variants have been added to ŠKODA’s portfolio of efficient and particularly eco-friendly cars that run on natural gas (CNG). ŠKODA is continuously advancing the implementation of its 2025 Strategy when it comes to digitalisation too: ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab has brought several new digital services onto the market.
