2020 Skoda Superb Scout Teased Ahead Of Thursday’s Debut

Another day, another Superb teaser released by Skoda, only this time, we get the chance to see the Scout version for the first time – or its outline anyway…

Set to be unveiled this Thursday in Bratislava, Slovakia, alongside the regular facelifted Superb, the Scout will get a raised ground clearance and, in all likelihood, some plastic cladding on the bumpers, wheel arches and door sills, as well as all-wheel drive.

Like the rest of the Superb lineup, the Scout will use the full LED Matrix headlights with incorporated DRLs and Coming/Leaving home function. The taillights have dynamic indicators as previewed by the Czech automaker in a previous teaser. Elsewhere, expect bumper revisions and SUPERB lettering in the middle of the tailgate.

The latest video released by Skoda offers a glimpse of the new Laurin&Klement range-topping variant, which adds a bunch of exclusive items, including soft-touch materials and special L&K badges, and a generous list of standard gear. A new infotainment system with standard smartphone integration is also part of the model’s mid-cycle refresh.

The biggest change made to the facelifted Superb will be the addition of a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The brand’s first PHEV should have a zero-emission driving mode with up to 50 km (31 miles) of range and the unit is thought be the the one used in the Volkswagen Passat GTE, which has a total output of 215 horsepower and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque and combines a 1.4-liter turbocharged four with an electric motor.
