Australian pricing and details for the updated 2018 Skoda Superb have been
released today, ahead of the revised liftback and wagon’s September launch. First
revealed in
June and initially intended for an August launch, the updated
range will feature a 9.2-inch ‘Columbus’ display – up from 8.0 inches – along
with Side Assist (blind-spot detection), rear cross-traffic alert, Traffic Jam
Assist and the new Emergency Assist communications system.
Those features carry a catalogue list value of AUD 2770, but their now standard inclusion bumps pricing up by only AUD 700 for the
162TSI petrol and 140TDI diesel models, and AUD 800 for the more powerful Superb
206TSI 4×4. The top-shelf 206TSI Sportline leaps in price by a significant AUD 4800, due both to the above upgrades and the now standard inclusion of
Adaptive Chassis Control, Virtual Pedal, Premium Canton Sound System, Automatic
Parking Assist, electrically adjustable passenger seats and rear heated seats.
Those features previously formed part of the AUD 3400
‘Tech Pack’ that Skoda says had made up the vast majority of Superb 206TSI
orders. By making these features standard, the company can more rapidly fulfill
orders for the newly simplified line. The Sportline can now also be had with a
bold new golden hue similar to that offered with the updated Golf,
known in Skoda’s case as ‘Dragon Skin’. This is offered as a AUD 1700 option.
Other options include the existing metallic and
pearl effect paint options (each AUD 700), a AUD 1700 sunroof for the liftback sedan,
and a AUD 1900 panoramic sunroof for the wagon. As with the broader Skoda range,
the Superb is offered as standard with a factory-backed five-year,
unlimited-kilometre warranty.
