Hot on the heels of yesterday's announcement about a fall debut, the next-generation Skoda Superb and Kodiaq are being officially previewed for the first time. The fourth modern iteration of the brand's flagship model will once again be offered in hatchback and wagon body styles, unlike the mechanically related Volkswagen Passat, which will come strictly with the longer roof. Both the Superb and Passat will be manufactured in Bratislava, Slovakia.
Up until now, the Superb had been made in the Czech Republic at the Kvasiny plant where the Kodiaq will continue to be assembled for its second generation. The new large models from Skoda are going to be offered with plug-in hybrid powertrains alongside gasoline and diesel engines with mild-hybrid technology. The VW Group brand touts "modern, efficient" ICEs, but without going into any details.
