Skoda’s fourth-generation Superb has arrived in Australia, bringing revised styling, a more advanced chassis, a different engine, fresh tech and increased prices over its predecessor.
Available in a sole Sportline equipment grade in either sedan (liftback) or wagon body styles, the new Czech large car now starts at $73,990 drive-away for the former – up by $4000 on the previous model’s list price of $69,990 before on-roads.
The wagon, meanwhile, is priced at $74,990 drive-away, marking a $3000 increase over the outgoing wagon that was listed at $71,990 drive-away. Prices before on-roads are $67,990 and $69,690 for the sedan and wagon respectively.

Per industry classification, the Superb is Australia’s only remaining mainstream (sub-$70,000) large car. However, it’s actually shorter than sedans officially classified as medium passenger cars, and there aren’t many of those to choose from anymore either.
The only remaining mainstream (sub-$60k) mid-size sedans are Skoda’s own Octavia and the soon-to-depart Mazda6 (both also available in wagon guise), the Hyundai Sonata, the hybrid Honda Accord, Lexus ES and Toyota Camry, and the electric BYD Seal.
Changes for the new-generation Superb include a revised tune for its turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which now makes 195kW of power (down from 206kW) and 400Nm of torque – up from 350Nm for the previous generation.
The six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission has been swapped out for a seven-speed unit, resulting in a claimed 0-100km/h sprint time that’s 0.3 seconds faster – as little as 5.6 seconds for the liftback.
Outside, the Superb now sports 19-inch ‘Torcular’ alloy wheels and “second-generation” matrix LED headlights.
Sports seats upholstered in perforated leather are standard inside, where there’s a new 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 10-inch digital instrument cluster. There’s also a leather-wrapped, flat-bottom steering wheel, and the gear selector has been moved to the steering column.
Several safety functions have been added too, including traffic sign recognition, a surround-view camera and intelligent park assist, while the autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and adaptive cruise control systems have been updated.
The Volkswagen Group’s Dynamic Chassis Control Plus (DCC) system is now also standard, offering up to 15 levels of suspension damping.
All up, Skoda Australia says the additions equate to more than $10,900 worth of extra equipment, despite the relatively low list price increase of $2400.
While the Volkswagen Passat is dead in Australia, the fourth-generation Superb shares the same body panels as the Passat sold overseas, and wears only redesigned front and rear bumpers. It also has the same engine, which is shared with the Golf GTI and Tiguan R-Line.

Safety
While the outgoing Superb boasted a five-star ANCAP safety rating, the new model has yet to be tested and is therefore unrated. It does, however, have a five-star Euro NCAP rating based on testing conducted on its Passat paternal twin in 2024.
