Why champion Czech's next effort is simply Superb

As the curtain rises on the 13th Shanghai Auto Show, all 14 models of the Skoda badge from Shanghai Volkswagen (SVW) are on display in its 1,300 sq m exhibition.

A brand-new B-Class line, the Superb, will make its China debut at the show.

The Superb is an entirely new flagship model for Skoda first launched at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show. Its makers say the model embodies the imprint of the Skoda brand - a sense of luxury and elegance - along with excellent interior design, handling, safety and ergonomic equipment.
