2010 Skoda Superb Combi
In a history of automobile production stretching back over more than a hundred years, Skoda Auto has manufactured numerous “combined cars” (hence the name “Combi”) in its hometown of Mladá Boleslav.
The new Skoda Superb Combi is 4,838 mm long, 1,817 mm wide, and 1,481 mm high. Including the roof rails, delivered as standard and available either anodized or black, the car’s height rises to 1,510 mm. The outstanding loading capacity is bigger than anything seen yet in the segment: the luggage compartment holds 633 litres, expanding to a cavernous 1,865 litres when the rear seats are folded down. The width of the tailgate is large enough to accommodate bulky items. The low loading sill, a mere 600 mm above the ground, makes handling baggage easy.
The Skoda Superb Combi, like the Superb sedan, can be fitted with HHC (Hill Hold Control). The ESP (Electronic Stability Programme) also has TSA (Trailer Stability Assist) for use with factory-fitted towing equipment. This feature is sure to come in handy, as the new Skoda Superb Combi’s 2.0 TDI CR DPF/125 kW 4×4 and 3.6 FSI V6/191 kW 4×4 engines are capable of towing trailers with a gross weight of up to 2,000 kilograms. Of course, that is not the only reason to opt for four-wheel drive with the fourth-generation Haldex multi-disc clutch. This system provides a variable torque split to achieve the best possible traction and excellent stability on any surface.
The Skoda Superb Combi’s range of engines is largely the same as that for the Skoda Superb sedan. Initially, there will be a choice of three petrol and two diesel engines, all with direct fuel injection and low consumption and emissions.
