The '''Škoda Superb''' is an executive car built by the [[Czech Republic|Czech]] car manufacturer [[Škoda Auto]]. It is based on the platform of the [[Volkswagen Passat]] (but was elongated by {{convert|10|cm|in}}) and shares its mechanicals with that model. It is currently the largest and most luxurious model in Škoda's lineup. The Superb name is a resurrection, originally used by Skoda for a similarly large 1936 model.
==First generation (2001-2007)==
===Characteristics===
The Superb is available with several petrol and diesel engines. The base model, the Classic, is available with a 1.9 L [[TDI]] [[turbodiesel]] rated at 74 kW, or a 2.0 L [[Straight-4|I4]] engine rated at 85 kW. The Comfort and Elegance models are offered with a with either a 142 kW [[V6]] 2.8 L [[petrol engine]], or a 2.5 L TDI rated at 120 kW. Transmissions available are a six-speed manual or five-speed [[tiptronic]]. As well as offering Volkswagen's older 1.9 L PD engine, the Superb also uses the new 100 kW 2.0 L [[TDI]]s found in other cars of the [[Volkswagen Group]].
The Superb was facelifted in 2006 to incorporate Skoda's new grille, headlights and tail lights. A Laurin and Klement model became the top of the range, deposing the Elegance model from that position. A range of new engines was introduced and the interior featured real wood as part of some trim levels. Akin to the Rolls-Royce Phantom some higher spec models even have an umbrella secreted in the rear door panel.
Although the Passat upon which it is based competes with the likes of the [[Ford Mondeo]] and [[Peugeot 407]], the Superb is marketed as an alternative to the more prestigious likes of the [[BMW 3 Series]] and [[Audi A4]], though it is actually cheaper than the Passat.
The Superb got minor facelift in August 2006 - a new radiator grille, additional blinkers have been integrated into the vehicle's wing mirrors, the tail lights were C-shaped in style of [[Roomster]] and [[Octavia]] and interior was redesigned.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.worldcarfans.com/rsslink.cfm/article/2060726.005/skoda/2007-skoda-superb-minor-facelift|title=2007 Skoda Superb Minor Facelift| author=WorldCarFans.com | accessdate=2007-07-19 | date=2006-06-26 }}</ref>
