Along with the facelifted version of the Superb’s second generation, Skoda introduced the 2019 Scout version for those looking for a family hauler and a crossover vehicle under the same roof.
The Czech automaker noticed the increased appetite for crossovers and SUVs and tried to please its customers with the compact-sized station wagon Octavia Scout. But still, the market asked for more. As a result, Skoda put some boots on the Superb Combi (the station wagon version of the Superb), increased the car’s ground clearance, added a few version-specific trims on the exterior, and launched it in 2019 for the 2020 model year. The Superb Scout was also the first Skoda in history to feature a hybrid drivetrain carried over from its parent company, Volkswagen.
After four years on the market, the Superb went through a facelift. As a result, the Superb Scout sported the same updates as the rest of its stablemates. At the front, the automaker installed redesigned LED headlights with a sharper look and new DRLs. As an option, customers could opt for Matrix-LED headlamps. Another significant update for the car was the thick chromed trim that surrounded the redesigned front grille. On the lower side of the bumper, the automaker added a light-gray trim that mimicked a skid plate, which made the car look ready for some off-road sessions.
Skoda made the Superb Scout based on the Superb Combi (station wagon). After it lifted the car from the ground by 15 mm (0.6 inch), it added plastic molding around the wheel arches and the side sills. Additionally, the large-sized station wagon sported silver door mirror caps and, around the windows, a chromed trim. On top, the automaker added standard roof rails. The raked-forward tailgate sported a roof spoiler at the back while a chromed stripe crossed it, connecting the redesigned LED taillights.
Finally, under the bumper, another skid plate-looking plastic trim housed the exhausts.
Inside, there were subtle changes that made a difference in terms of perceived quality. The dashboard, the center console, and the door cards were covered with soft-touch materials. In front of the driver, Skoda installed a 10-inch display for the instrument panel that, besides the regular speedometer and tachometer, could also be configured to show the map for the navigation system or other information gathered from the car’s onboard computer. The Superb Scout provided comfortable seats up front and a split-folding bench in the rear where three passengers could sit comfortably despite the transmission tunnel that crossed the car from front to back. Since the Scout was based on the Superb Combi, it featured a large trunk that could reach 1,950 liters (68.8 cu-ft) by completely folding down the rear seats.
Under the hood, at the launch, Skoda offered the Superb Scout with a choice of two engines: a turbo diesel and a turbocharged gasoline unit. Later, a 1.4-TSI hybrid system joined the lineup. All versions were fitted as standard with automatic transmissions and an all-wheel drive system.
