The Superb Wagon is available in a range of

125 TDI diesel can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 8.9 seconds before
hitting a top speed of 218km/h. Fuel consumption is 6.6-litres per
100km while CO2 emissions are 175 g/km.
The successful direct fuel injection campaign is
also continuing with the petrol engines.
The 118TSI produces 118kW of power and 250Nm of
