The standard engine is a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol with a 48V mild-hybrid system that produces 150PS of power. Above it are two 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engines, one with 204PS and the other with 265PS, as well as two 2.0-litre turbo-diesels, one with 150PS and one with 193PS.

The upgrades made inside the new Skoda Superb are more noticeable. It receives a new layered dashboard with several cabin themes.
