The new plug-in hybrid version of the Skoda Superb hatchback brings executive car space with relatively low company car tax, which may make it attractive to drivers who don’t want to go fully electric.
The latest Superb iV uses a 25.7 kWh battery paired with a 1.5 litre petrol engine, delivering a combined output of 202 bhp. The key change for company car drivers is the electric capability, with an official WLTP electric range of up to 84 miles.
That range places the car in one of the lowest company car tax bands for plug in hybrids. Under the current Benefit in Kind system, PHEVs emitting 1 to 50 g per km of CO₂ are taxed based partly on their electric range. Models capable of more than 70 miles on electricity attract one of the lowest tax percentages within that bracket. In the case of the Skoda, the company car tax banding is 7% for tax year 2026/27.
Charging is also improved on the new generation model. The larger battery supports AC charging up to 11 kW, allowing a full charge in around two and a half hours using a suitable wallbox. That should make it easier for company car drivers to maximise electric running during the working week.
For fleets not ready to move entirely to full battery electric vehicles, long range plug-in hybrids such as the Superb iV still offer an effective compromise. Drivers can complete many daily journeys on electric only while retaining petrol backup for longer trips where charging access may be limited.
