Škoda has introduced the first 2010 Superb Estate version on 9 November at its Kvasiny plant in the Czech Republic. The first model to roll out was the Superb Elegance 2.0 TDI CR 170bhp DSG DPF in Satin Grey. The company will limit its first production to left-hand drive vehicles. Production of right hand drive vehicles will begin in January 2010.

The Superb Estate is offered in a choice of three petrol and three diesel engines, plus manual and DSG transmissions. The engine that powers the Estate version is same as the one present in the hatchback model introduced in September 2008.
