Representatives of Skoda at the Geneva Motor Show presented the third generation of their flagship model - Skoda Superb 2016-2017 in a new body. The novelty is already completely ready for release and will be on the conveyor very soon.

Recall that without waiting for official premiere, some time ago representatives of the company held a closed demonstration of their new product. The car turned out to be more massive. In this case, the weight, on the contrary, has decreased. Weight reduction was achieved by designers through the use of a lightweight modular MQB platform.

The new generation of Skoda Superb 2016-2017 in a new body photo the price received absolutely new salon, a wide range of electronic systems, as well as an improved audio-video complex. The list of power plants is represented by five gasoline and three diesel engines. Compared to the motors that were used in the previous generation of the car, the new motors are almost 30% more economical.

The official start of sales of new items in our country is scheduled for this year. According to company representatives, the Russian car market will receive the car at the price of the previous version. Apparently, it is thanks to this decision that the company plans to maintain demand for the Superb model.

The popularity of the Superbв has always remained at a fairly high level. Suffice it to recall the sales figures of previous generations of the car to support this. By the way, cars called Superb were produced by the automaker back in the period 1934-1949. Even then, the model stood out for its high-tech, attractive appearance, original interior and powerful power plants. This is what caused the decision of the company's management to link the new and old cars... By the way, even the official presentation video of the novelty has an emphasis on the continuity of different generations.

Actually, that is why I want to investigate in the most detailed way new car... Of course, it is most expedient to start the study with a consideration of the modular platform on which the novelty is built. This platform is the result of the work of engineers from volkswagen, under whose "wing" the Czech car manufacturer has been for a long time. Accordingly, the new generation Superb received a stabilization system, as well as an electronic differential lock.

Skoda Superb is a front- or all-wheel drive five-door business-class liftback (but by some it is classified as a representative of the "D-segment") and, concurrently, the flagship of the Czech automaker's lineup, which combines respectable design, a high level of comfort and practicality and modern technical component ... The main target audience of the car are successful men in leadership positions and who love to spend time with their family, but it is also suitable for the role of "business transport in the corporate fleet" ...

In early March 2015, at the international exhibition of the automotive industry in Geneva, the Czech company Skoda held the world premiere of its flagship model - the next, third generation, five-door Superb liftback. However, a few weeks before this event, a preview of the novelty was organized in Prague for a relatively small circle of people, which included more than 500 journalists from all over the world and several hundred VIP guests.

The third "Superb" turned out to be completely different from its predecessor, and all because of the MQB platform, which made it possible to revise both the design and dimensions, and the engine line.

Four years after the debut, the liftback underwent a planned update, presenting itself in all its glory to the general public on May 23, 2019 at a special event in Bratislava. Restyling did not bring serious visual changes to the car (new bumpers, a wider radiator grille, fully LED optics and a new inscription with the brand name), and the interior got only a new decor and changed lighting, but at the same time the power range was slightly "shaken up" and added new options.

Exterior

The exterior of the "third" Skoda Superb is made in a balanced and expressive design, which draws its roots from the VisionC concept, which was presented in 2014. The front of the Czech liftback flaunts a powerful radiator grille encircled by faceted optics with Bohemian crystal trim and a sculpted aerodynamic bumper.

The graceful silhouette of the Skoda Superba hides its true dimensions, adding lightness and dynamism to the almost five-meter car. The solidity of the appearance is given by expressive stampings, embossed wheel arches and gentle contours of the roof, smoothly flowing through the powerful rack into the tightened stern, which is crowned with wide lamps with LED filling and a developed bumper.

In terms of overall dimensions, the 3rd generation Superb can be classified as a business class, but the developers classify the liftback as an "overgrowth" of the mid-size community: 4869 mm long, 1864 mm wide and 1484 mm high.
The wheelbase of the car is 2841 mm of the total length, and the amount of ground clearance depends on the type of drive: for front-wheel drive versions - 164 mm, for all-wheel drive - 6 mm more modest.

Interior

Like other Skodas, the Superb inside looks unpretentious, but strict and solid. The driver is directly responsible for a stylish multifunctional steering wheel with a 3-spoke design and laconic instrumentation with a pair of large dials and a color trip computer display. The "top" cars used a virtual instrument cluster (which, like other significant changes in the interior by 2020 model year reflected in the photo below).

The massive front panel in the center smoothly "flows" into a modern and ergonomic console with an 8- or 9.2-inch screen of the multimedia complex with control buttons and "knobs" along the edges (on the available versions, a "two-din" radio tape recorder with a monochrome "stripe" is used). At the bottom of the dashboard, the air conditioning unit (conventional air conditioner or zone system) is "registered", and the keys auxiliary functions based on a wide tunnel between the seats on three sides of the gearshift lever.

The interior decoration of the third generation Skoda Superb is cut from high-quality finishing materials - soft and visually pleasant plastics (although in some places you can also find hard elements), good-quality fabric or genuine leather. Well, the flagship status of the model is supported by a verified assembly.

At the disposal of the front riders "Superba" - comfortable seats with a dense profile and heating, and optionally also with electric adjustments, ventilation and memory function. The rear sofa provides comfortable seating for passengers of all sizes and a class-leading legroom. However, its shape and high floor tunnel subtly hint that the third one will be superfluous.

The luggage compartment of the "third Superb" with its volume resembles the hold of a dry cargo ship - 625 liters in standard configuration with the possibility of increasing to 1760 liters. The back of the "gallery" is folded in several unequal parts, but an absolutely level platform does not work out.

The niche under the raised floor is occupied by a reduced "spare wheel" and a set of tools.

Specifications

In the Russian market for a third-generation restyled liftback, a line of four power units has been announced - these are TSI in-line fours with turbocharging, a direct injection system, a 16-valve DOHC timing belt and phase shifters at the inlet and outlet:

• Basic versions are armed with a 1.4-liter engine that generates 150 horse power at 5000-6000 rpm and 250 Nm of torque at 1500-3500 rpm.
• More efficient versions relies on a 2.0-liter engine, available in three boost options:
  • 190 h.p. at 4200-6000 rpm and 320 Nm of peak thrust at 1450-4200 rpm;
  • 220 h.p. at 4500-6200 rpm and 350 Nm of rotational potential at 1500-4000 rpm;
  • 280 h.p. at 5600-6500 rpm and 350 Nm of torque at 1700-5600 rpm.

By default, the 150-horsepower car is equipped with a 6-speed "mechanics" and front-wheel drive transmission, and as an option - a 7-speed "robot" DSG with two clutches, which is mated with a 190-horsepower unit in the "base". The remaining two engines work together with a 6-band robotic gearbox dSG transmission, but 220-horsepower - only with the drive wheels of the front axle, and 280-horsepower - exclusively with an all-wheel drive system, equipped with a fifth-incarnation Haldex multi-plate clutch with XDS + technology, which simulates differential locks through electronics.

From a standstill to 100 km / h, the five-door liftback “fires” after 6.0-8.9 seconds, accelerates to a maximum of 219-250 km / h, and in the combined mode “drinks” from 6.0 to 7.6 liters of fuel for each “hundred” of run, depending on modifications.

Design features

The 3rd generation model is based on the modular architecture of the MQB, or more precisely, on the MQB-B. Independent MacPherson struts with lower triangular levers located transversely are mounted on the front of the car, and a "multi-link" with longitudinal and wishbones... But if by default the five-door has passive shock absorbers, then in the "top" versions - adaptive, electronically controlled.

The rack-and-pinion steering gear is supplemented by an electromechanical control amplifier with adjustable effort, and brake system endowed with disc devices on all wheels (front ones - with ventilation). All modifications of the liftback "flaunt" ABS with EBD and electronic stability control.

Options and prices

In the fall of 2019, the restyled Skoda Superb of the third incarnation is offered on the Russian market only with a 190-horsepower engine (versions with other engines will appear in our country in 2020) in three trim levels to choose from - Ambition, Style and Laurin & Klement.

On February 17, 2016, at a special event in Prague, a presentation of the Skoda Superb liftback 2016-2017 in a new body was held (photo and price in the article). The world premiere of the novelty took place in early March at the Geneva Motor Show.

The average consumption of the initial 125-horsepower engine in the Superb, according to the official website, is 5.4 liters per 100 km, and the additional power (150 hp) will increase this figure by only half a liter. Moreover, having ordered a cylinder shutdown system for the liftback, technical skoda characteristics Superb 2016 will be 5 liters per hundred exactly, and without prejudice to dynamic performance. Acceleration to 100 km / h in the 150-horsepower version, regardless of the cylinder deactivation system, will be 8.6 seconds versus 9.9 seconds for the initial modification. The maximum speed is 208 and 220 km / h, respectively.

The 1.8-liter (180 hp) Superba version offers the best compromise between economy and convincing dynamics.

For a power of 220 forces, 6.2 liters per hundred appear, and the relatively high 7.1 liters in the 280-strong version are explained by the presence of all-wheel drive. IN dynamic characteristics there are 7.0 and 5.8 seconds of acceleration to hundreds and 245 and 250 km / h of maximum speed, respectively.

Sales start in Russia

Last fall, namely September 30, in Russia sales of Skoda Superb started in a new body. A pleasant fact for many is that the prices of the 3rd generation Superba, clearly aiming for business class, turned out to be lower than that of the related, but more compact Volkswagen Passat B8. Moreover, the price list of the new Czech liftback turned out to be more attractive than the prices of the familiar Toyota Camry and Nissan Teana (see tables). In the initial Active configuration for the 150-strong Skoda Superb 2016, the price starts at 1,332,000 rubles for the version with a 7-speed robot, which is 167,000 cheaper than a similar Passat, 32,000 cheaper than a Camry and 29,000 more affordable than Teana.

And that's not all. Sales start in Russia announced the basic version of the Active with a 125-horsepower engine and 6-speed manual transmission with a price of 1,249,000 rubles. Such a Skoda Superb 2016 is already able to compete with the most affordable representatives of this class in the person of Ford Mondeo (1,350,000 rubles) and Mazda 6 (1,204,000 rubles), and the lack of 25 forces is more than compensated for by the high efficiency of the turbocharged engine against atmospheric units of Ford and Mazda. With a similar level of acceleration dynamics in the technical characteristics of the Superba with a new body appears average consumption 5.4 l / 100 km, which is 2.8 and 0.7 liters less than the aforementioned competitors, respectively.
