2024 Skoda Superb Combi iV Mk4 UK Version

• New-generation plug-in hybrid with over 62 miles WLTP electric range.

• Roomier cabin with a 13-inch display and improved ergonomic layout.

• Enhanced aerodynamics and advanced driver-assistance systems.

A More Mature Direction for the Superb Combi iV

The 2024 Skoda Superb Combi iV enters its next generation with a clear mission: more space, better efficiency, and a smoother integration of electrification into Skoda’s long-running flagship estate. In photos, the plug-in-hybrid model looks familiar in silhouette but noticeably sharper in detail. The new octagonal grille, slimmer lighting units, and subtle aerodynamic changes give the wagon a more deliberate stance — lower, longer, and cleaner than before.

The Combi iV remains a practical, comfort-centric family model, but the refinement across surfaces and proportions shows how Skoda is pushing the Superb slightly more upmarket without changing its identity.

Design Updates with Clear Aerodynamic Intent

The latest Combi iV follows the broader design changes introduced across the new Superb Estate line. The drag coefficient is now 0.25, making it Skoda’s most aerodynamic estate to date. A steeper windscreen, optimized roofline, longer spoiler, and smoother underbody panels all contribute.

Lighting plays a big role visually. The Matrix LED headlamps — with new crystalline detailing — sit deeper within the front fascia, while the optional slim LED tail lamps introduce animated indicators and a cleaner light signature. Unique Dark Chrome trim appears on the grille, side elements, and rear lettering, giving the PHEV variant the same understated premium cues as the ICE models.

A Cabin Focused on Clean Layout and Digital Clarity

Inside, the Superb Combi iV adopts the reorganized cabin architecture seen across the new generation. The 13-inch floating infotainment screen dominates the dashboard, and the removal of the gear selector from the center console frees up storage space and simplifies the layout.

The Smart Dials — a combination of haptic knobs with small digital displays — are among the more practical updates. They allow quick control of climate, seat ventilation, driving modes, or volume without diving through menus. Materials lean toward sustainability, with recycled textiles throughout and eco-tanned leather in higher trims.

Rear passengers gain slightly more headroom, and the Combi’s trademark load capacity increases to 690 liters — a meaningful improvement considering the PHEV’s packaging demands.

Improved Plug-In Powertrain with Longer Electric Capability

The new 1.5-liter TSI engine pairs with an electric motor to produce a combined 204 PS. The big change is the larger 25.7 kWh battery, nearly twice the size of the previous pack.

Skoda quotes an electric range of more than 62 miles (WLTP), making the Combi iV one of the longest-range PHEVs in its class. The battery supports AC charging up to 11 kW and DC charging up to 50 kW, with a 10–80% charge possible in around 25 minutes on DC.

Performance remains oriented toward efficiency, and the six-speed DSG transmission drives the front wheels only.

Safety and Technology Updates Reinforce its Long-Distance Character

New nano radar sensors at the front corners extend detection capabilities for systems such as Front Assist and Crossroad Assist. Rear radar units now reach up to 90 meters, improving Side Assist performance. The Combi iV also inherits the updated Travel Assist suite, which can anticipate curves, junctions, and roundabouts when paired with navigation data.
