The Czech carmaker Skoda refreshed the Superb lineup in 2006, adding some minor changes to the exterior and improved its engine lineup.
Since it was already under Volkswagen's ownership, Skoda received access to new technologies and platforms, and the Superb received a 10 cm (3.9") longer wheelbase version of the Passat's base.
The car's exterior looked very similar to the German Passat, and the carmaker tried to add some subtle changes so the two brothers won't look the same, at least from the rear-view mirror. So, the front fascia was changed, and the Superb received new headlights and a new grille with black vertical slats. It was the new corporate grille that was already installed on its smaller siblings, the Fabia and Roomster. In the back, Superb featured new taillights with a squared clear area around a red part for the reversing and turn-signals lights.
Inside the cabin, the main differences were focused around the driving post. Inside the instrument cluster, the designers installed new lettering for the dials. Between them, the carmaker kept the LCD for the on-board computer. Skoda installed a new plastic panel for the center stack, which looked as good as one installed in an Audi A6. It was a big step forward for the car's look. Thanks to its extended wheelbase, there was as much room as an Audi A8 on the rear seats.
Skoda dropped the 1.9-liter turbo-diesel under the hood and replaced it with a 2.0-liter unit that developed more power and ran cleaner. Also, a 2.5-liter turbo-diesel made its appearance.
