斯柯达将在明年日内瓦车展发布第四代速派。该车将与新一代帕萨特（B8）共享同一平台，新车由设计主管Jozef Kaban亲自操刀设计，由于其造型风格深受VisionC概念车影响，因此预计外观将更抢眼。新一代速派将有快背和旅行车两种车型，车身尺寸与现行版差不多，但更低，更宽，增加车内乘客肩部空间，同时行李箱容积进一步扩大。至于动力系统，新车将搭载取自帕萨特的2.0升TDI，功率140千瓦/190马力，2.0升TSI，功率206千瓦/280马力，后者将替代油耗太高的3.6升V6引擎，同时这台引擎可搭配全轮驱动系统。除了这两台引擎外，还有一台功率略低的1.8升TSI汽油机，功率132千瓦/180马力，另外也不排除搭载其他取自新一代帕萨特的动力系统。除了传统的汽油/柴油引擎外，新车还将首次采用插电混动系统，包括一台1.4升TSI和一台电机，综合输出功率155千瓦/211马力，车辆百公里油耗仅为2升，在纯电动模式下可行驶50公里，混动模式下一箱油可行驶998公里。

 

新一代速派将于明年下半年上市，预计售价将低于帕萨特。

 

All-new Skoda Superb coming to 2015 Geneva Motor Show riding on Passat B8 platform

The fourth generation Skoda Superb will be unveiled March next year at the Geneva Motor Show.

 

New details are starting to emerge about Skoda's flagship model which will ride on the same platform as the all-new Volkswagen Passat (B8) and will have a "striking styling" created by a team led by head designer Jozef Kaban who will take inspiration from the VisionC concept. The model will be offered just like now in liftback and wagon body styles measuring just about the same but a bit lower as well as wider which will grant additional shoulder room while the trunk capacity is expected to increase as well.

 

In terms of engines, the all-new Superb will borrow the Passat's 2.0 TDI with 190 HP (140 kW) and the 2.0 TSI with 280 HP (206 kW) which will act as a replacement for the thirsty 3.6-liter V6 and will be offered with an optional all-wheel drive system. There's also going to be a less powerful 1.8 TSI with 180 HP (132 kW) along with a variety of other motors sourced from the more expensive Passat.

 

According to a recent rumor, the new Superb will also be offered as a plug-in hybrid with a 1.4 TSI working with an electric motor to provide a combined output of 211 HP (155 kW) like in the Passat where it enables the mid-size sedan return 117.6 mpg US (141.2 mpg UK or 2 liters / 100 km) and have a 31-mile (50 km) electric range along with a 620-mile (998 km) total range.

 

Sales of the fourth-gen Skoda Superb will likely kick off in the second half of 2015, with pricing expected to once again significantly undercut the Passat.
