Skoda has launched its new Skoda Superb will be premiered at the Geneva Motor Show.
The company has used the design of the Skoda VisionC show car into series production which uses the modular transverse matrix (MQB) from the Volkswagen Group.
With the new engine (five petrol and three TDI common rail diesel), the car's weight has been reduced by up to 75 kg and it consumes up to 30% less fuel, emitting less CO2 than previously.
The car also features Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC), including drive profile selection with a new air-conditioning system which includes the new three-zone climate control.
With the Superb, Skoda will be offering more safety systems including the series-standard multi-collision brake and the systems Front Assist.
Skoda CEO HC Winfried Vahland said: "The new superb heralds the dawn of a new era for KODA. Over recent years, KODA has established itself as an international volume manufacturer. Our new flagship is now the highlight of KODA's most comprehensive model campaign ever, and shows where KODA stands today.
"The car's outstanding design and engineering qualities, and the unbeatable space make our flagship the new benchmark in the automotive mid-class. The new KODA Superb is a clear demonstration of our growth and points to the future of the brand."
The car is set to be launched in the market by mid-2015.
