Is the 2025 Honda Prelude the Best Comeback Car of the Year?
Meet the 2025 Skoda Superb RS - Is This the Performance Upgrade We’ve Been Waiting For?
Skoda has never offered a high-performance RS or vRS version of the Superb, but that might be changing with the new generation. The 2024 Superb, which debuted in November, comes in various body styles and powertrains including gasoline, mild-hybrid, diesel, and plug-in hybrid options. However, there was no sporty RS variant in the lineup.
Skoda’s CEO, Klaus Zellmer, hinted at the possibility of a Superb RS when asked about competing with premium brands like Audi, BMW, and Mercedes. While he didn’t confirm it, he acknowledged the suggestion and showed interest. Zellmer emphasized that efficiency and sustainability are more important than sheer power or speed, suggesting that if an RS model does arrive, it might focus on these aspects rather than just high performance.
Currently, the plug-in hybrid powertrain available for the Superb Combi offers 201 hp, but a more powerful version from the VW Passat Variant could be a good fit. This upgraded system provides 268 hp and a zero-emission range of 62 miles. Skoda might also enhance the chassis with improved suspension, steering, and brakes to boost driving dynamics.
The Superb RS could feature a sportier design with specific body kit enhancements. However, it’s expected to maintain a more understated look compared to other RS models, possibly including sportier bumpers, larger wheels, and black trim accents. Subtle aerodynamic additions like a splitter, side skirts, and a rear diffuser might also be part of the design.
Inside, the Superb RS may draw inspiration from the Octavia RS with dark upholstery, contrasting stitching, leather and Alcantara bucket seats, red ambient lighting, and carbon-style dashboard accents. It would also include advanced tech like a 13-inch infotainment screen, a 10-inch Virtual Cockpit, and a head-up display.
While there’s no official confirmation yet, the Skoda Superb RS could potentially make its debut for the 2025 model year, following the release of the standard Superb.
