Skoda has revealed its new soft-roader rival to the Volkswagen Passat Alltrack and Audi Allroad models, the Skoda Superb Combi ‘Outdoor’ variant.
Available in both front- and four-wheel drive guises, the 'Outdoor' joins the existing Superb line up and is available with all of the model’s engine flavours. These include 1.4 and 1.8-litre TSI petrols, plus 2.0TFSI and 3.2-litre V6 units. Included in the diesel line-up are 1.6 and 2.0TDI versions plus the most frugal 1.6TDI Greenline engine, which is available with front-wheel drive only.
While the Outdoor’s suspension settings and ride height remain as standard, the new car differentiates itself from its standard Superb stablemates with dark plastic panelling to the car’s wheel arches, side skirts and front and rear bumpers. The front-end also features larger-than-standard air intakes, plus rounded fog lights.
The car's UK pricing and availability have yet to be revealed.

Without a raised suspension,
Without a raised suspension, this is a pointless piece of kit from my perspective.
Bodykit
So let's get this straight; it's a Superb Estate but a tacky plastic bodykit. Reminds me of the stick on kits that you could but back in the 80's. Anyone remember RGA Designs whose kits seemed to ruin the looks of every car they were attached to - funny how some things never change.....

I like it, I actually think (uniquely in my opinion) that the plastic add-ons improve the looks slightly. Without an increased ride height, particularly on the 4wd model though, I would feel a bit of a fraud driving it.
