The automotive world has been dramatically reshaped by the surge in SUV popularity, leading to the discontinuation of many traditional car models. Volkswagen Passat, Opel/Vauxhall Insignia (Buick Regal), and Ford Mondeo/Fusion are some of the casualties, although they linger on in the Chinese market where local production persists.
Skoda, however, refuses to let the era of conventional cars fade away and is ready to introduce another generation of its flagship model, the 2024 Superb, equipped with combustion engines. This new Superb will be mechanically related to the 2024 Passat Variant and is set to make its official debut on November 2. While the timing might seem curious amid the wave of electric vehicle premieres at the Japan Mobility Show, Skoda is determined to keep the torch burning for traditional cars.
