THE big news coming out of Skoda is the launch of the new Superb Estate.

With 2,000 litres of load room – once the seats are folded - you really could fit everything and the kitchen sink in.

Built on the group’s MQB platform, Skoda says the Superb Estate offers best-in-class interior space.

Both longer and wider than before, there’s more elbow, head and knee room.

The car features Dynamic Chassis Control and engines that Skoda says are more powerful than before and yet 30 per cent more efficient.

Connectivity is a key aspect of the new Superb, with SmartLink enabling the car’s infotainment system to automatically connect to all standard smartphones. There’s also an optional high-speed internet connection.

The Superb Estate will make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September with orders able to be placed in the UK from next month.

“With the new ŠKODA Superb Estate, we have further developed the existing strengths of the Superb and once again set a benchmark. With its expressive, dynamic design, we are emphasising and complimenting Skoda's expertise in the estate segment,” said design chief Dr Frank Welsch. “The combination of aesthetics, top-of-the range technology and the highest practical benefits makes the new Superb Estate an outstanding vehicle within its segment. With the new flagship, we will attract new customers to our brand."
