A sense of safety and enjoyment from a ride. Peace of mind as well as adrenaline. Being deliberate and being carefree. These are opposites,which only meet at one place. A place where you can rely on exceptional safety equipment.
No Compromises : Safety on All Roads
Passenger protection in the new Superb is of the highest level. Depending upon model, there are up to nine airbags on board. Two front and side airbags as well as head airbags at the front and back provide all-round protection. The knee airbag for the driver and the side airbags in the rear are completely new. Anti-spin regulation (ASR) is standard in all versions of the new Superb.
ESP and ABS with Brake Assistant are part of the standard equipment depending on country. The hill hold function facilitates starts on hills and prevents the car from rolling backwards when the brake is released.
The MacPherson wishbone front suspension is housed in an aluminium axle to provide greater kinematics while simultaneously reducing axle weight. The Superb’s suspension system increases driving comfort and reduces tyre noise. Apart from this, as a result of numerous acoustic innovations, the new Superb is among the quietest cars in its class. The thickness of the front side window panes has been increased to 4.85mm, noise attenuation packages reduce vibration while new sealing materials reduce wind noise.
In developing the chassis, the Škoda Auto engineers have placed special emphasis on creating a balanced relationship between agility and comfort. Uneven road surfaces are mastered excellently. Body roll is almost completely suppressed thanks to careful configuration of the
chassis components.The new electro-mechanical steering ensures greater driving dynamics. Its feel has been optimised and the steering conduct and tracking provide the best feeling for the road surface and traction conditions.
The Superb also has a completely new form of coordination between the ABS and ESP systems. The object of the development was to provide the new Superb with commanding and comfort-oriented properties without limiting driving pleasure in any way.
The Parking Assistant* is designed to facilitate parallel parking in a row of vehicles. This advanced electronic system is currently offered by only a few car manufacturers, which places the New Superb among the elite group of modern automobiles capable of undertaking parking manoeuvres on their own. It recognizes suitable parking spaces thanks to its special sensors. When driving along a row of cars no faster than 30 km/h, the sensors automatically monitor the space along the car at both the driver’s and front-seat passenger’s sides. Having pushed the button, the driver gets information about parking space along the front-seat passenger’s side, by activating direction indicators. While manoeuvring into the space, all you have to do is press the accelerator or brake.
The rain sensor automatically activates the front Aero-wipers based on the rain intensity, applying even pressure on the glass and, therefore, wiping evenly along their whole length.
