Overview

The fourth-generation Superb was officially unveiled on 2 November 2023. The model is offered as an estate and a liftback. It shares the same body panels and greenhouse with the Volkswagen Passat B9. Both the Passat B9 and the Superb Mk4 are offered with petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid engine options, and are the first passenger vehicles of the Volkswagen Group to be based on a stretched version of the MQB Evo platform. Unlike its predecessor, a manual option will not be available.

Design

The fourth-generation Superb features the brand's new "Modern Solid" design language "characterised by sharply drawn lines, clearly defined dynamic proportions and a modern sculptural and crystalline styling." Compared to its predecessor, it has a 10% and 15% reduction in drag coefficient for the liftback and Combi models respectively.

Interior

There is a total of twenty-eight Simply Clever features such as a Jumbo Box with a 5.5 L storage space underneath the armrest, Phone Box wireless charging slot with a cooling function, and an umbrella stored inside the driver's door. Other interior features includes a 14-speaker Canton surround sound system, Ergo seats with 10-point massage function, and a heads-up display available for the first time on the Superb. The liftback and Combi models has a boot space of 645 L and 690 L respectively, which can expand to 1,920 L on the Combi model when the rear seats are folded.

Safety

The fourth-generation Superb achieved a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, with its results were applied from the Volkswagen Passat B9 as both vehicles have a similar body structure.
