In a market where automotive prestige often wears a badge of excess, Skoda has long chosen a different route — one of quiet sophistication, solid European craftsmanship, and real-world value. Now, that philosophy takes centre stage once again with the arrival of the fourth-generation Skoda Superb in the UAE — in both sedan and, for the first time, wagon form.
For Gulf drivers who crave premium comfort without the flamboyance (or the six-figure brand markup), the new Superb promises to be a revelation.
🇨🇿 From Czech roots to global respect
Before we look under the hood, let’s rewind. Skoda’s story began over 130 years ago, when Czech pioneers Václav Laurin and Václav Klement started building bicycles — driven by the belief that “Only the best is good enough for our customers.”
That ethos carried Skoda through motorcycles, automobiles, and ultimately into the Volkswagen Group — where the brand now combines German precision with Czech character.
The name “Superb” first appeared in 1934, defining a flagship built for space, refinement, and understated prestige. Fast forward to today, and the 2025 Superb continues that tradition, reborn for a world — and a region — that demands more from its vehicles.
A big moment for the Middle East
The launch of the new Superb marks a milestone for Skoda’s Middle East expansion. For the first time, the region gets the Superb Wagon, joining the redesigned sedan. Both models embody Skoda’s mission: to deliver executive-class quality without abandoning the brand’s signature “value luxury” positioning.
And yes — while these cars made their European debut back in 2023, UAE drivers are finally getting their turn. The wait, as it turns out, was worth it.
Design: Sharper, sleeker, and quietly confident
At first glance, the new Superb is instantly recognisable — but now more assertive, aerodynamic, and refined. The octagonal grille is wider and bolder, flanked by slimmer LED Matrix headlights that give the front end a crisp modern signature.
Every line has been sculpted for efficiency. The aerodynamic redesign isn’t just about aesthetics — it reduces drag, lowers cabin noise, and enhances highway stability. That means a smoother, quieter cruise down Sheikh Zayed Road or long-haul drives between Emirates.
This is European design done the Gulf way — sophisticated, not showy.
Inside: comfort, tech, and space that impresses
Step inside, and you’ll understand why the Superb name still carries weight. The cabin feels airier, smarter, and more tactile — with premium textures, subtle ambient lighting, and Skoda’s ingenious Smart Dials.
These digital-mechanical rotary controls blend the best of both worlds — giving drivers precise tactile feedback with intuitive digital displays. Everything from climate settings to seat heating and infotainment volume can be managed with a simple turn.
- Sedan boot space: 645 litres
- Wagon boot space: 690 litres (expanding to an enormous 1,920 litres)
That makes the Superb Wagon one of the most family-friendly non-SUVs on the market — perfect for weekend getaways, school runs, or corporate travel.
Top trims such as Selection and Laurin & Klement (L&K) add indulgence through massaging front seats, plush upholstery, and interior finishes worthy of an executive suite.
Engineered for Gulf conditions
The UAE-spec Superb is powered by a 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine delivering 190 hp and 320 Nm of torque — paired with a refined 7-speed DSG gearbox. It reaches a top speed of 244 km/h, but what stands out is its effortless cruising comfort and balanced efficiency.
Built to handle regional heat and long distances, the Superb combines performance with composure — ideal for Dubai to Abu Dhabi commutes, or family road trips across Oman or the Northern Emirates.
Advanced driver-assist features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Front Assist come standard — giving drivers peace of mind on the UAE’s fast, open highways.
Value that speaks to smart buyers
Starting at AED 147,000, the new Superb plays in a sweet spot — luxury feel at near-mainstream prices. It competes with high-spec sedans from mainstream brands but offers the comfort, materials, and tech of pricier European rivals.

For corporate fleets, it’s an executive-class sedan that projects refinement without extravagance. For families, the Wagon variant brings SUV practicality in a more elegant, road-friendly package.
For years, Škoda has been the quiet achiever — a brand trusted by Europeans who want luxury without the labels. With the new Superb Sedan and Wagon, that understated excellence finally lands in the UAE.
It’s spacious, tech-savvy, and beautifully engineered for Gulf roads — proof that you don’t need excess chrome or six cylinders to feel elite.
Škoda’s flagship proves a simple truth: real value doesn’t need to shout. It just needs to drive beautifully, look timeless, and make sense — kilometre after kilometre.
Welcome to the new definition of premium practicality.
Welcome to the Skoda Superb.
