Inside the cabin, there is an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone integration and Skoda’s SmartLink connectivity. The feature list includes three-zone climate control with clean air function, a humidity sensor for reducing windscreen misting, puddle lamps, and an illuminated and cooled Jumbo Box storage compartment.

The Skoda Superb Corporate Edition is powered by a 1.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine which develops 177bhp of power and 320Nm of torque. It is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox option as the only transmission choice. The Superb competes against the Toyota Camry and the Volkswagen Passat in the premium sedan segment.
