Skoda plans to launch 19 new or facelifted models by
the end of 2020. One of these planned 19 launches is the Skoda Superb Plug-in
Hybrid. Skoda will introduce 10 electrified models between 2019 and 2025. The
first of these eco-friendly models, the Skoda Superb Plug-in Hybrid, will debut
in mid-2019.
Reports say that the Skoda Superb Plug-in Hybrid’s
powertrain will combine a 156 PS 1.4-litre TSI turbocharged petrol
engine with an 115 PS electric motor. The combustion engine and
electric motor will together deliver 217 PS.
A 13 kWh battery will power the electric motor and
provide a pure electric driving range of more than 64 km. The
plug-in hybrid variant could have a CO2 emissions rating of less than 40 g/km.
Back in November 2016, it was reported a Kodiaq Plug-in Hybrid will follow the
Superb Plug-in Hybrid. China will get it first, and then Europe. The Kodiaq
Plug-in Hybrid will likely use the same powertrain as the Superb Plug-in Hybrid.
After the Superb Plug-in Hybrid, Skoda will
introduce the Skoda eCitigo as its first pure electric car in 2019. The Skoda
Vision E concept’s production version with more than 500 km driving range will
follow in 2020. Skoda will position the MEB platform-based pure electric SUV
coupe between the Skoda Karoq and Skoda Kodiaq.
