Skoda has added more features to its flagship model Superb. These include a new 9.2-inch infotainment system, automatic emergency call and some comfort features.
Care Connect with automatic emergency call
The updated model comes with ‘Care Connect’ as standard from the Ambition variant, regardless of the choice of infotainment system.
The most important feature of the Care Connect is the automatic emergency call, which is activated if the airbags have been deployed. The vehicle establishes a voice and data connection to an emergency call centre and transmits all the necessary data. The emergency call can also be initiated manually via a button in the roof module.
In addition, remote access to the vehicle can be done via the Skoda Connect App. The smartphone can inform the driver about various things, whether the windows and doors are closed or the lights are off. The parking position function shows the location of the vehicle, the “Honk & Flash” function makes it easier to find the car by activating the horn and hazard lights.
9.2″ infotainment screen in glass design and SmartLink
The display of the Columbus navigation system has grown from 8 to 9.2 inches and the system Swing from 5 to 6.5 inches. In addition, the glass design is claimed to enhance the high-resolution displays.
There’s also a SmartLink+ system on board, which brings brings navigation, infotainment and communication apps from the mobile phone into the car and also provides vehicle data for evaluation on the smartphone.
Driver assistance systems: Park Distance Control
The Park Distance Control comes with ‘Manoeuvre Assist’. The system can detect obstacles in front of the vehicle. The system not only warns the driver with optical and acoustic signals but also brakes the vehicle automatically if necessary.
Comfort
There’s an optional massage function for the driver’s seat, which is available with the electrically adjustable variant, including ventilation and memory function.
Also, Skoda says the communication among occupants is improved with Digital Voice Enhancement, which transmits the driver’s and front passenger’s voice to the passengers in the rear via a microphone in the cockpit. The noise levels have been improved, the front side windows are now available with an acoustic film between the two glass surfaces.
There are new 19-inch light-alloy Acamar rims on offer. Chrome strips on side buffers and doors and a black interior ceiling will be available for the L&K equipment version.
Note that these changes are for the international model and not yet for the Indian market.
