Skoda has expanded the Superb range with the introduction of a new 200 kW plug-in hybrid powertrain to the Superb hatchback variant.
The new Superb hatch (often mistaken as a saloon) joins the Superb Combi, which already offers plug-in hybrid technology, further strengthening the model’s electrified line-up.
With a total system output of 200 kW (268 bhp), it also becomes the most powerful combustion-engine version in the current Superb range.
The existing 150 kW plug-in hybrid powertrain will continue to be offered in the Superb Combi. For the Superb hatch in Sportline and Laurin & Klement specifications, the new 200 kW plug-in hybrid variant will now be the sole plug-in hybrid option.
The Superb hatch PHEV sees the addition of dynamic chassis control as standard and improved braking via larger ventilated rear brake discs with improved front brake cooling.
The new powertrain combines a 1.5 TSI petrol engine producing 130 kW with an 85 kW electric motor and a 25.7 kWh (gross) traction battery. It offers a claimed electric only range of up to 140 km and has 11 kW AC charging and 50 kW DC charging.
The Superb hatch PHEV has a starting price from €50,685 excluding delivery and related charges.
