The standard-fit Driving Mode Select offers three additional modes to take full advantage of all the plug-in hybrid’s capabilities. Pressing the E-mode button powers the car purely with electricity. In Hybrid mode, the electronics automatically regulate the interaction between the petrol engine and the electric motor. Sport mode is used for a dynamic drive that harnesses the maximum possible power of the petrol engine and the electric motor.
The electric motor and powerful 25.7 kWh lithium-ion battery allow for an emission-free electric range of 62 miles in the WLTP cycle. That’s more than enough for all your daily trips in the city centre, but also for a leisurely family trip into the countryside. To activate purely electric drive, simply select the E-mode.
For longer business trips, out-of-town excursions or holidays, you’ll appreciate the 45-litre fuel tank and the 1.5 TSI petrol engine with a range of hundreds of miles and a total power output of 204PS. For your maximum driving comfort there is an automatic 6-speed DSG. Another upside is more economical driving with lower consumption and CO2 emissions.
The Superb Estate iV is ready for everyday situations in which you will get the most out of the plug-in hybrid drive. Want to charge the battery on the go before entering the city centre? Simply set the required charge level and the battery recharges on the way, thanks to the regenerative braking.
The E-noise sound generator is built into the car’s front section so that road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, have ample warning when the Škoda Superb Estate iV is approaching in electric mode.
