2024 Skoda Superb iV PHEV electric range city real-life ev energy consumption economy plug-in hybrid

2024 Skoda Superb iV Combi Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) 2023/2024/2025 has 1.5 l inline-4 turbo-petrol engine plus electric motor. Total system power: 150 kW (204 HP), 350 Nm. The lithium-ion battery capacity: 25.7 kWh gross (part of it ~20.5 kWh is available for driving in electric mode). It is the same drivetrain as in Volkswagen Passat Variant PHEV. Škoda claims: EV range over 100 km (62 miles) in all-electric mode. I checked it in a city and on sub-urban roads. Results for Škoda Superb Estate iV:
00:00 Skoda Superb 2024 Hybrid specification (power, battery capacity, WLTP)
00:14 Electric range test start point (EV mode)
23:12 EV range test finish: ~144 km (~89.5 mi) with average energy consumption (economy): 14.3 kWh/100 km (230 Wh/mi, 4.35 mpkWh)
23:39 Final & user results of Skoda Superb iV Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) range test with energy (power) consumption measurement
Fuel & energy consumption, also with empty batteries: soon :)

Mate, I just wanted to tell you that you're doing one helluva job. No marketing crap, no bullshit brochure numbers, just clean facts based on hands-on experience. Thanks to your content I was able to choose proper plug in for my daily use. Your channel should be WAY more popular. Liked, subscribed. Thanks, dziękuję!

What is your opinion with Ev only? Is it has enough power for highway overtake? For example from 100kmh to 130? How much is the acceleration from zero to 60 or 100? Have you measured?

[@1001cars]

Acceleration over 100 km/h is quite slow. check the acceleration. check the electric only acceleration with Arteon eHybrid (the same engine): kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3vZZJZmodaqprc

[@softail88]

It seems your average speed was very low... highest seemed to be only 54km/h. If speed was closer to 80km/h I guess that range would be half of that. All other cars were passing you. Not realistic test in that way. Sure nice to see that you can drive low speeds that long!

[@1001cars]

@@softail88 It seems you did not watch the movie BEFORE putting the nonsense comment... Otherwise you would have seen over 90 km/h. Also: why should I drive over the speed limit? Please record the movie when you drive over the speed limit, I will send this movie to your local department. Also #2: I counted dozens cars I overtook. So again: your perception of this test is not real, is just totally wrong. Other thing: I am not guessing, I am sure you are totally wrong with your prediction of splitting in half the expected range. Explain how is it possible that Skoda Superb iV (PHEV) at constant speed 90 km/h (so even faster than "close to 80 km/h" you wanted) and the consumption was not two times higher than in a city? kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4WVk4tondydhqc Sure, nice to have +1 comment :)

[@vladmihai306]

remember this test is in almost ideal conditions for the battery... 19 degrees, ac is on but doesn't have to do anything almost, temperature is perfect for batteries. so this 140-145km range is probably close to the best achievable. Realistically in all seasons as average it will top out at about 100km which is still, quite good. Curious to see how this powertrain will do on the cupra formentor.

[@1001cars]

Realistically the conditions was not ideal. In ideal conditions I will be able to make at least 155 km :)

@@1001carsczekam na test na trasie z pusta bateria

I'd assume so. On the highway, it should consume less due to the reduced drag coefficient (0,28 -> 0,25 for the combi). In the city, it should consume less, because even with empty batteries it drives electric much of the time. And we've seen that it is more efficient electric only. Of course I'm also eager to see actual measurement results.

[@mibr8148]

Jesteś chyba jedyny który w ogóle ogarnął w Portugalii tego nowego iV. Reszta pokazuje wkoło to samo. Czy mi się wydaje czy w trakcie przejazdu nie używałeś Lane Assist i aktywnego tempomatu? Ciekawe na ile by to zmieniło zużycie. I jeszcze jestem ciekaw bo tam trakcie jazdy zapaliła się kontrola oleju - co to oznacza?

[@1001cars]

Dziękuję za komentarz :) Tak, przez zdecydowaną większość przejazdu nie używałem tempomatu i asystenta utrzymania na zajmowanym pasie ruchu. Tempomat nie zmienia nic jeśli jedzie się ze stałą prędkością, ale człowiek może trochę bardziej przewidywać niż "widzi" radar i kamera i to daje pewną przewagę. Kontrolka oleju najpewniej wynika z tego, że w tych autach dolano oleju na maksa, a czujnik jest aktywny cały czas, nawet przy wyłączonym silniku spalinowym (cały czas możesz w końcu użyć funkcji "kickdown") i przy tak mocnym nachyleniu oleju było więcej w miejscu gdzie jest czujnik :)

[@mibr8148]

@@1001cars A jeśli mógłbym jeszcze zapytać o parę spraw. Jak zachowuje się ten silnik w trybie hybrydowym? Czy to prawda że włącza się już przy 25km/h? Czy ile maksymalnie na godzinę da się pojechać w trybie elektrycznym tak aby nie włączył się silnik spalinowy? Czy w długie trasy on sobie zachowuje energię tak aby móc zawsze wykorzystać pełna moc samochodu do wyprzedzenia? Każda taka informacja jest dla mnie cenna. Pozdrowienia

[@1001cars]

@@mibr8148 skąd informacja, że silnik spalinowy włącza się przy 25 km/h?

[@mibr8148]

@@1001cars już pisze. Gość z autocentrum zrobił test nowego Tiguana 1.5 plug-in. I dokładnie powiedział że tak się ten silnik zachowuje. Zakładam że w Superb jest to ta sama jednostka.

[@1001cars]

​@@mibr8148 Wątpię że Tiguan ma tutaj inaczej zestrojony układ napędowy, ale wykluczyć tego nie mogę. W każdym razie w Superbie iV spalinowy włączał się zależnie od tego jak głęboko wciśniesz pedał przyspieszenia i nawet w trybie sportowym spokojnie przy prędkościach miejskich 50-60 km/h realnie używał prawie cały czas elektrycznego (no chyba, że się chciało mieć lepsze przyspieszenie, to wówczas wiadomo). Trochę zmienia się sytuacja poza miastem, gdzie silnik spalinowy częściej i wcześniej włącza się do działania. Prędkośc maksymalna w trybie elektrycznym jest chyba limitowana do 140 km/h (licznikowego). Jeśli ustawisz nawigację, to komputer tak ustawi działanie napędu hybrydowego, żebyś dojechał do celu z pustym akumulatorem, ale możliwie optymalnie, czyli zachowa prąd na miasto. Mam taki test z Tiguana poprzedniego tutaj na kanale - logika się nie zmieniła zasadniczo w tej kwestii. prąd do wyprzedzania jest praktycznie zawsze, nawet wówczas gdy masz "wyczerpany" akumulator, bo pamiętaj że masz pojemność netto i brutto akumulatora :)

Please, 1001cars, when you do the usual city/highway test, do both an "empty" battery and an electric only version. For older PHEVs, electric highway range didn't matter that much, because you didn't get far anyway. But I've seen a test of CarManiac, who did more than 90 km with the new Passat PHEV, half of it on the german Autobahn. So I'm really curious how far you get with the Superb at constant 90/120/140 km/h with the bigger battery, improved efficiency and reduced drag coefficient.

[@1001cars]

As always, I make also test with empty batteries, but I have to have time for it. This is how my regular tests look like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH_Qg5J-qdyAb7s Of course, I will make such test as soon as possible.

[@1001cars]

Nie ma jeszcze ceny Plug-Ina niestety

In Germany, the Passat eHybrid starts at 50'320 EUR. There is no Superb iV yet in the configurator, but the list price of the base Passat Variant 1.5 eTSI is only ~400 EUR above the Superb Combi. Interestingly, the 5-door Superb starts 3000 EUR above the Combi. In the Hungarian configurator, the Superb starts at 35'400/36'400 EUR. And here, the combi costs more. Passat starts at 41'800. Totally different price politics in Germany and Hungary. But these are list prices. I'd guess you can get more discount where there is more "air" in the list price.

Even if the Superb plug-in is 200 kg heavier than the normal one because of the plug-in stuff, the additional weight is only 150 kg. This has so little effect on fuel consumption that it is not worth noting. For petrol engines, an additional consumption of 1% per 50 kilograms is expected. With a 150 kg payload, the Prius would consume 0.28 kWh more. In total, that would be 9.6 kWh per 100 kilometers. That's still 32% less than the Skoda consumes.
