Skoda reports huge levels of interest in new Superb as fleet sales soar

The brand says corporate and SME sales have risen by 22% year-on-year and this is set to be boosted by the new model, which it says has already seen unprecedented level of interest for fleet test drives, prompting a fleet of vehicles to be assigned exclusively for corporate and SME customer demonstrations. 

Fleet benefits of the new model include running costs among the lowest plus a spacious and practical cabin. In addition the SE Business trim level brings front and rear parking sensors, Skoda’s Amundsen touchscreen satellite navigation system with Bluetooth, SmartLink and Drive Mode selection, which enables drivers to choose between Eco, Sport or Normal driving profiles.

Nadim Mehar, fleet manager at Signalling Solutions Ltd, commented: "I've just taken delivery of a new Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI Laurin & Klement and I am delighted with the vehicle. The exterior looks fantastic and the interior is of a very high standard. I can't believe how good the car looks; well done Skoda!"

Patrick McGillycuddy, head of fleet at Skoda UK, commented: "It's already been a strong year for Skoda corporate and SME sales with 22% growth on last year, and we are already experiencing huge levels of interest for the new Superb.

"The fleet team have been working hard to place new Superb on the list of every fleet manager from Dover to Dundee. The level of interest in a demonstration in the new model has far out-stripped our expectations and they're barely off the production line."
