Superb Combi Outdoor
Škoda has revealed the Superb Combi Outdoor, which is the latest addition to a growing class of ‘all-terrain’ estates aimed at those who don’t want an SUV, but require a modicum of off-road ability.
It looks the part too, with round front fog lights, a larger air intake and plastic panelling for the bumpers, wheel arches and sills all part of the package.
However, the Outdoor is potentially a bit of a fraud. That’s because unlike conceptually similar models such as the Volkswagen Passat Alltrack, Audi A4 allroad Quattro and Škoda’s own Octavia Scout, the Superb will be available with all existing engine and transmission options (apart from the ultra-efficient GreenLine drivetrain).
So, a Superb Combi Outdoor could easily end up having two-wheel drive and, with no more ground clearance than usual, that would make it no better on unmade roads than the regular version. Of course, such concerns won’t matter to certain buyers, who will probably want one just to feel more protected from errant drivers in their local supermarket car park.
