The first 2008 Skoda Superb interior photo has been released by the company plus details on the engine options. The 2008 Skoda Superb will debut at the Geneva Motor Show on the 4th of March.
The 2008 Skoda Superb will have the following engine options:
- a four-cylinder 1.4 TSI (92 kW)
- a 1.8 liter TSI (118 kW)
- a new 3.6 FSI V6 (191 kW)
- a 1.9 TDI PD DPF (77 kW)
- a 2.0 liter TDI PD DPF (103 kW)
- a 2.0 TDI CR DPF (125 kW)
Skoda Press Release:
The successor to Skoda Auto's existing flagship offers new design elements, smart technological solutions and new engines. Ranging from 77 to 191 kW, three petrol and three diesel engines will be available for the new Skoda Superb. Besides manual transmissions, the portfolio will include automatic DSG transmissions and the fourth generation of the Haldex four-wheel drive system.
All petrol engines are equipped with a direct injection system to reduce fuel consumption and improve the engines' environmental parameters. The petrol engine portfolio includes the all-new
four-cylinder 1.4 TSI (92 kW), the 1.8 TSI (118 kW) and the brand new 3.6 FSI V6 (191 kW). The most powerful version of the Superb will only be available with an automatic DSG transmission and a four-wheel drive system and will appear in the market shortly after the official launch of the new model.
The diesel engine portfolio includes 1.9 TDI PD DPF (77 kW), 2.0 TDI PD DPF (103 kW) and the all-new 2.0 TDI CR DPF (125 kW) with common rail injection.
Another major innovation is TWINDOOR, a unique
tailgate opening system developed and patented by Skoda engineers. This smart and useful solution makes it possible to open either just the boot lid and put small pieces of luggage inside the vehicle or lift the whole tailgate including the rear window, which makes the use of the boot significantly more flexible and comfortable. The sophisticated and well accessible boot offers 565 litres of load space in the basic arrangement, by 85 litres more as compared to the existing model.
On top of the above, the new Superb is going to offer a whole lot of other innovations and design
solutions, e.g., AFS (Adaptive Frontlight System) that makes use of the possibility of changing the geometry of the headlamp beam and adapting the lighting in front of the vehicle to suit different driving conditions, thus enabling the driver to identify obstacles and react to them in time even more flexibly than today. Another example of innovation is the all-new high-tech navigation system with a touch screen and a hard disk.
