Skoda engineers are busy these days, as they have been spotted by our spy photographers testing multiple models on European roads.
While the Kodiaq is preparing for its public unveiling at the 2016 Paris Motor Show, Skoda is already working on improving two recently launched models through facelifts.
The first of them is the Fabia Combi, which has a facelift in development. The second Skoda model spotted by our friends at SB-Medien is the Superb, which also appears to prepare for a facelift.
The prototype of the upcoming Superb facelift has been spotted while driving on European roads, and one of the vehicles was also towing a trailer.
Skoda engineers were kind enough to write “Testfahrt” on the prototype, in case there was someone unsure whether the vehicle in question is on a test drive or is just a Superb with weird camouflage. As you can observe from the images in the photo gallery, the modifications are focused on the front and the rear of the vehicle.
The mask partly covers the front fenders and rear quarter panels, but we suspect it does not have much to do with design changes for them, but to better conceal the design of the elements that are joined to them.
You do not have to be an expert in Skoda vehicles to observe that the front end has a revised bumper. The new element has a different grille on its lower half, while the top half has also been redesigned.
The front grille has also been modified, while the headlamps appear to be standard, but are probably changed around the edges. The fog lights and daytime running lights might get new shapes for their housings.
The rear of the Skoda Superb has also been modified. However, its changes are harder to spot than on the front. Regardless, we observe a discrete modification of the rear bumper, and the trunk lid seems to have been changed. The tail lights are bound for a little restyle, even though there was nothing wrong with those of the current model.
