News From Škoda

The name alone is a commitment: a ŠKODA Superb has to be something special.  In accordance with this task, the ŠKODA designers and developers have taken the new ŠKODA Superb to a new level in terms of creativity and technology. "With the new ŠKODA Superb, we have developed a car that will wow our customers," says Dr. Frank Welsch, ŠKODA Board Member for Technical Development. "With its expressive and emotionally-rich design, even more space and comfort, innovative safety technology, top consumption values, sophisticated dynamics and top-class workmanship, the new ŠKODA Superb takes ŠKODA qualities to a new level."

Precise, authentic, dynamic — the front view of the new ŠKODA Superb is characterised by a wide radiator grille and centrally positioned logo, a dynamically contoured bonnet, and razor-sharp wide headlights and front fog lights, and sharp, expressive, and equally impressive, ŠKODA have given the rear of their flagship model wider LED lights, and a clear and articulate layout. More width, more presence, more clarity.

The new ŠKODA Superb Wagon is class-leading in terms of space and practical solutions. It has the largest boot in its class—with 600 to 1950 litre volume—and can also offer up to 31 Simply Clever features—11 of which are in the boot alone.

The new ŠKODA Superb is arriving in New Zealand in October, and ŠKODA will be keeping their website updated as more details are confirmed – www.skoda.co.nz

ŠKODA started with a bicycle. Their founders, Vaclav Laurin and Vaclav Klement began making bikes in their home town of Mlada Boleslav in the Czech Republic in 1895 and cycling has remained important to ŠKODA ever since. ŠKODA is the official partner of key cycling events across the world - including Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta España.

However, they know that they are not alone in their love for cycling – so ŠKODA New Zealand are setting up a cycling team to ride in some of New Zealand's coolest races, and they are inviting people to join them.  You don't need to be a pro – just a cycling enthusiast.

When you race as part of Team ŠKODA, you will receive advice from some of New Zealand's elite cyclists and ŠKODA World Champion Cycling Ambassadors, access to their exclusive VIP ŠKODA tent, a top quality ŠKODA Cycling jersey to wear during the race, and much more.

If this sounds like you, register your interest online at www.skoda.co.nz/registerteamskoda and the ŠKODA team will be in touch with more information soon.
