Skoda Superb Sportline in offing

?Skoda Ireland has announced the introduction of the new Superb Sportline model as part of their 2017 model line-up, ahead of a mild facelift for the car later in the year.

The new Superb Sportline emanates sporty flair with darkened exterior styling such as black exterior side-view mirrors, window frames and side door strips. The SunSet tinted rear and side windows further enhance the exterior style as well as passenger comfort.

Other touches include a black front grille and darkened front fog lamps which add to the domineering front profile. There are also 18in Zenith platinum alloy wheels, a glossy black diffusor and distinctive exhaust tailpipes to add to the sporty look.

The saloon (or lift back version) also comes with a glossy black boot lip spoiler while the body-coloured roof spoiler and black roof rails feature on the Combi.

Inside, black roof lining, soft ambient lighting (which offers 10 different colour options) and aluminium pedals are standard and sports seats in a combination of black alcantara/leather with silver stitching are part of the deal too, as is an electrically-adjustable driver seat.

A sports chassis and suspension set-up improves the car’s driving dynamics and the driver mode select also offers a choice of Normal, Sport, Eco or Individual driving modes which each change the behaviour of the engine, transmission, power steering and air conditioning based on the driver’s preferences.

Cathal Kealey, PR manager at ?Skoda Ireland, commented: “The Superb is already one of the most stylish, practical and comfortable models in its class and the introduction of the new Sportline model now adds even further variety to the Superb offer. The aggressive and dominant sporty exterior is further complimented by the sporty interior while the sports suspension and drive model selection offer the ultimate driving experience.”

The Superb Sportline is available for just a €500 surcharge on the top-spec Style models. Order books are now open for this new model, with first deliveries expected in January.
