FactThe second Superb's boot lid is a hidden hatchback: pull one handle and the rear glass lifts too, Škoda's TwinDoor trick nobody else copied.
Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in early March 2008, designed by Jens Manske on a stretched version of the Octavia A5 platform (VW Group A6/PQ46), so it moved to a transverse engine layout. It is a four-door five-seater with an innovative "TwinDoor" boot lid that opens either as a conventional boot or as a hatchback including the rear glass. The Superb Combi estate, with 633 litres of boot space, was shown to the press in June 2009 and debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show that September. Launch petrols were the 1.4 TFSI (125 PS), a 1.8 TFSI (160 PS) and the flagship 3.6 FSI VR6 (260 PS, a detuned version of the Passat R36 engine) with four-wheel drive and a six-speed DSG, good for 250 km/h and 0–100 km/h in 6.5 seconds; diesels started with the 2.0 TDI PD (140 PS), a 2.0 TDI common-rail (170 PS) and a 1.9 TDI. It was also built in China, India and elsewhere.

Photographs
This Superb drops the manual gearbox entirely and shares its body panels with the Volkswagen Passat B9 underneath a different face.
With the 2.0 TSI 4x4, the third Superb briefly became the fastest production Škoda ever built, hitting 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds.
The second Superb's boot lid is a hidden hatchback: pull one handle and the rear glass lifts too, Škoda's TwinDoor trick nobody else copied.
Volkswagen vetoed a Superb estate outright, worried it would steal sales from its own Passat Variant and the Audi A4 Avant.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
