First interior pic of new Skoda Superb revealed ahead if Geneva Launch, its a little bit of a let down.

• First impression of the new ŠKODA Superb interior
• Whole new dimension: spacious and elegant with great attention to detail
• Comfortable throughout: extremely roomy, fine materials
• New level of quality: high quality workmanship, pure precision

ŠKODA is once again demonstrating the design and emotional power of the brand with the latest version of its flagship model, the Superb, the interior is definately part of the VW group with a look that could slot easily into the Passat or any current AUDI, this lazy design, and look, will end up hampering Škoda, like it will SEAT and AUDI. 

We just hope that the bosses at each of the brands, sees sense before it is too late, and actually give their brands, a distict brand identlty, because at the moment, take away the Skoda badge, and you would be hard pressed to say which of teh VW Group cars it is.

POSSIBLE LOOK OF NEW SUPERB (all mock ups)

The new ŠKODA Superb combines spaciousness, functionality and design in a truly unique way. ŠKODA already gave some hints as to the future of the brand’s design language last year, when it presented the ŠKODA VisionC show car at the Geneva Motor Show. The new Superb brings these innovations to series production. ŠKODA is now presenting the specific details of the third-generation Superb with a closer look at the vehicle’s interior.

The aim of ŠKODA’s engineers and designers was to create a superior inner space, with a more modern, elegant and sophisticated look. With further improvements to the interior dimensions, ŠKODA has brought the qualities of higher-class vehicles into the automotive mid-class. With the vehicle’s unrivalled amount of room, new level of comfort, new technical solutions and high-quality, precise workmanship, the new ŠKODA Superb is truly setting standards in its segment.
