Already seen on other Škoda models, the SportLine grade is now available for the fourth-generation Superb hatch and estate, positioned between the existing SE L and L&K models. At the same time, the Superb range has been further expanded with the availability of a new 2.0 TSI engine option.

The new SportLine grade is priced from £42,290 and comes with up to six drivetrain options, including a plug-in hybrid, and in both hatch and estate versions.

Instantly recognisable as a SportLine, the new model gets gloss black detailing along with unique bumpers, tailgate diffuser and black roof rails for the estate. It’s also equipped with 19-inch polished black alloy wheels, bespoke SportLine badging on the front wings and black Škoda lettering on the tailgate.

Inside, the new Superb comes with a unique SportLine Design Selection that adds front sports seats complete with heating and massage function, along with a three-spoke leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, black headlining and fully adjustable ambient lighting.

It’s not just design that’s uprated and the Superb SportLine delivers a 15mm lower chassis, progressive steering and DCC dynamic chassis control plus as standard.

A broad engine range delivers six different engine and transmission options. Petrol options are based around a 150hp 1.5 TSI unit and a 2.0 TSI with either 204hp or 265hp. All feature a seven-speed DSG gearbox as standard with the higher-powered petrol additionally offering all-wheel drive.

Diesel customers can opt for a 2.0 TDI with outputs of 150hp and 193hp. Both are equipped with a seven-speed DSG gearbox as standard with the higher-output engine also featuring all-wheel drive.

The estate is also available as the Superb SportLine iV, which features a plug-in hybrid drivetrain combining a 1.5 TSI petrol engine with a 110kW electric motor and a six-speed DSG gearbox. Powered by a 25.7kWh battery located at the rear of the estate version, the Superb SportLine iV has a WLTP all-electric driving range of 79 miles.
