New Skoda Superb 2025: I'm no Mercedes C-Class... but I can do 83 electric miles!

The Skoda Superb has always had a very particular approach, with a size halfway between the D and E segments. The latest generation of this Skoda continues the tradition, and its 4.91 metres in length are seriously close to the upper class, which can also be said for its cousin, the Volkswagen Passat.

The mechanical range is also ambitious. However, we at Motor1.com have informed you about the brutal 265 PS 2.0 TSI, with a performance similar to that of some sport compacts. In addition, the 193 PS TDI comes to the market with very interesting performance and low fuel consumption.

In today's article, we're going to tell you about another interesting variant. This is the PHEV plug-in hybrid, which is equipped with a large 19.7 kWh battery, which allows it to travel no less than 83 miles in electric mode.

It is therefore capable of putting premium models such as the BMW 3 Series (watch out for its prices) or the Mercedes-Benz C-Class on the ropes. Unfortunately, another rival, the Volvo S60, has recently said goodbye to us.

If you are interested in buying the PHEV version of the Skoda Superb, you should know its main technical details. It produces a combined power output of 204 PS and accelerates from 0-62 mph in 8.1 seconds, while the top speed is 136 mph.

Coupled to the six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic gearbox and with front-axle drive, this model stands out for its low fuel consumption: just 706.2 mpg (0.4 litres/100 km), in accordance with the WLTP cycle (with a fully charged battery).
