The new Skoda Superb will be a "revelation" according to the firm's boss. The new car will be based on the VW Group’s MQB platform and will share as much as 50 per cent of its parts with the Volkswagen Passat.

Skoda's boss, Winfried Vahland said: “The new Superb will, in terms of styling and execution, be a revelation,” he said. “For the next 10 years, the Superb will be the top of the line.” It is expected that, like most of Skoda's range, the new Superb will be positioned on the outer edges of the segment norm in terms of size.

It will again be offered as a saloon and an estate, although the saloon will drop the dual saloon/hatchback tailgate boot opening. “It is too expensive,” said Vahland. There had been suggestions that a full-sized SUV would replace the Superb in Skoda’s line-up, but that car will also be replaced in 2016 or 2017, Vahland confirmed.

A 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine will be the largest offered in the Superb as part of Skoda’s pursuit of lighter weight and better fuel economy. Skoda is also focusing on improving aerodynamic efficiency.
