The new Skoda Superb iV is powered by a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, an electric motor and a 13kWh battery pack, which delivers a combined output of 215bhp and 400Nm of torque. Skoda also claims the new powertrain will provide the Superb with emissions figures of 40g/km of CO2 and a maximum all-electric range of 34 miles.

Skoda’s plug-in hybrid Superb will be produced alongside the firm’s combustion-engined models in Kvasiny, where just under 400 examples are produced every day at a rate of one car every 198 seconds. Of these, the plant can currently accommodate up to 60 PHEV models per day.

Skoda’s fully electric models will be produced elsewhere. It’s first full EV, the Citigo iV, is produced in Bratislava, while the firm’s first MEB platform vehicle – expected to be closely related to the Vision iV SUV – will be built in Mladá Boleslav.
