This is the new Skoda Superb, and as well as usual facelift fare of fancier lights and bumpers, it also gets something altogether more major. Hybrid power. Mere, um, years after its Volkswagen Passat cousin, the Superb saloon and estate have gained petrol-electric plug-in hybrid power, offering up 215bhp and the ability to go around 30 miles emissions-free, contributing to a total range well beyond 500 miles. For a long-distance limo like this, that"s excellent news. It"s Skoda"s first production hybrid but, given how long we"ve been able to buy Passat and Golf GTEs, it perhaps doesn"t feel like quite the landmark moment the Czech company hopes.
