2021 Skoda Superb price and specs

The 2021 Skoda Superb line-up has been fleshed out with the introduction of the base 162TSI Style, though the higher-riding Scout has been removed from local price lists.

The 162TSI returns the option of front-wheel drive to the Superb line-up, while lowering the cost of entry to the range by $10,000.

The new entry-level model is around $9000 more expensive than the last Superb 162TSI sold here, though it features a commensurately longer list of standard kit.

UPDATE, 17/05/21 – We’ve updated this article with details of the 162TSI Style and brought it forward.

The Superb range returned to Australia in November 2021 after a hiatus, which saw the introduction of the facelifted model delayed by 12 months.

The delay was a result of supply constraints related to tough new European emission testing.

Servicing and Warranty

All Skoda Australia models are covered by a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty with a year of complimentary roadside assistance – which is extended for 12 months at a time if you service your vehicle with a Skoda dealer.

Speaking of maintenance, the Skoda Superb requires servicing every 12 months or 15,000km – whichever comes first.

Additionally, a used car service pack can be purchased after the first 15,000km scheduled service for $1600, and is valid for the next four visits.
