Skoda says that its aim was to create an interior with a more "modern, elegant and sophisticated look" compared to the outgoing model. The VW-owned car maker says that improvements have been made to the interior dimensions, but hasn't revealed the specifics. The new Superb will feature a "new level of comfort, new technical solutions and high-quality, precise workmanship", says Skoda.

Features such as a DSG gearbox, dual-zone climate control, touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, cruise control, voice command, auto-parking assist and perforated and heated leather seats are seen on the car.
