5 Comparison with competitors 5.1 ŠKODA Superb's position among its competitors At this point, you already have a clear idea of the strengths of our top model, You have understood how sophisticated the design of the Superb is, you are familiar with the details of the applied technical solutions and have got an overview of the innovative elements of the Superb's equipment in terms of safety, comfort and functionality, However, will our new car stand the test when directly confronted with its assumed major competitors? A comparison of technical parameters on the following pages will give you a clear answer, Among the strongest non-premium representatives of the executive class, we identified 7 cars which our new model will compete with the most in its battle for customers, Core competitors of the third generation Superb are a stylish pair from Germany: the Opel Insignia and the Ford Mondeo, Strategic competitors are two Korean half siblings: the Hyundai i40 and the Kia Optima, The group of selected competitors is complemented by a trio from the homeland of the Gallic rooster: the Peugeot 508, the Citroen C5 and the Renault Laguna, The comparison is divided thematically into different sections depending on the nature of the properties that are being compared, We have included cars with a liftback body in our comparison study; if a model with a sloping rear end was not available, we chose a sedan, Out of petrol engines, we selected those that have similar

performance characteristics as the 1,4 TSI/110 kW unit (without the cylinder deactivation system), with a manual transmission; in diesel engines, we always selected the top-end engine with an automatic transmission, In all cases, they are cars with front-wheel drive, Each of the competing cars has been given a separate section in the text that follows, including brief characteristics and a range of the engines available, Technical data correlate with vendors' official price lists and data valid in Germany in December 2014, However, individual sources of official information may vary, which is why you may come across data that differ from the values contained in this material, 232 COMPARED MODELS GENERATION BY GENERATION AND THEIR LAUNCHES ON THE EUROPEAN MARKET ŠKODA Superb

Compared with its predecessors with their geometrical shapes, the muscular Insignia gives the impression of a spaceship,,, unfortunately, not only in terms of its design but also its weight and the number of control buttons in the interior, To be objective, it is good to note that part of the weight is due to safety (robust skeleton) and advanced technology (e,g, AFL+ adaptive Bi-Xenon headlamps, 4*4 with Haldex 4, an Opel Eye camera), With the facelift in 2013, infotainment with an 8" touch screen was introduced, resulting in a reduction in the amount of controls. While from the outside the Insignia is a real argosy, inside there are conditions like in an escape pod, In the front, the deficit in terms of space can be presented, with some imagination, as if the driver actually were in the cosy embrace of the dashboard; to find something positive to say about the claustrophobic situation in the back is a superhuman task, Not even the view from the car is ideal: the edges of the body are difficult to determine and the size of the side mirrors is not exactly optimal. The Insignia feels at its best on a straight road where it does not have to fight so much with its excess weight, The situation is improved a little by the optional SuperSport chassis with the front multi-link axle from the OPC version and adaptive shock absorbers but even then the car gives as nimble an impression as a body-builder among basketball players, Substantial weight is also an issue with the engines (only the Citroen C5 is similarly heavy) which is negatively reflected in the dynamics, One example: with the most powerful petrol engine, the Insignia accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 7,5 s which is almost exactly the same as the Superb 1,8 TSI which is weaker by 52 kW and 80 Nm but lighter by about 140 kg, Consumption in real operation is obviously not the lowest, yet it still manages to pleasantly surprise when directly compared with some lighter competitors (see the Hyundai i40). 236

5 Comparison with competitors Did you know that... AGR orthopaedic seats in the insignia are really certified by German orthopaedics? Apart from Opel, it is only Mercedes Benz and Volkswagen that offer them in their cars, (1) … only three cars in our selection can have the all-wheel drive? The Insignia is betting on fourth-generation Haldex with an electronic limited-slip differential, … a touchpad can be ordered for the 8" screen infotainment to facilitate control? It has lots of features; if only they were not placed on the centre console so that you have to twist your wrist (or whole arm) in an unnatural position (this does not apply if you are a Tyrannosaurus Rex), (2) Strengths > Driving comfort even with a standard chassis; > Sports chassis with adaptive shock absorbers, with the High Performance Struts front axle; > Despite the age of its design, an excellent range of assistance systems; > Orthopaedic seats (AGR); > All-wheel drive (fourth-generation Haldex with an electronic differential); > Factory-fit conversion to LPG; Weaknesses > Small interior space in contrast with large external dimensions; > Little space for rear seats passengers (especially headroom); > Poorly arranged bodywork, view from the car (incl, small surfaces of the side mirrors); > The heavy weight is reflected in the dynamics and consumption, 238

5.2.2 Ford Mondeo: Aston Martin for the Masses The fourth generation of Mondeo came on to the European market with a delay of two years after its world premiere, Ford decided to replace the original European model, famous for its huge interior space, excellent driving characteristics (and also its cheap interior styling) with a global product without more specific fine-tuning for local needs, If we were to use an analogy from the world of fast-food, then the "Blue Oval" is basically trying to satisfy the different tastes of customers in various parts of the world with a single uniform hamburger, The first European experience with the new Mondeo revealed two important things: a departure from the generally praised agility of the previous models in favour of comfort, and the feel of undersized engines, The first is due to a structural change - the kinematics of the rear wheels is no longer taken care of by the much appreciated rear axle of the "Control Blade" type, Although the Mondeo's driving characteristics remain among the best of non-premium B-segment models with front-wheel drive, its original playfulness is missing, It is apparently not so much the "Blue Oval's" engine designers who are to blame for the powertrain units' large fuel consumption and subjective lethargy as rather the weight or, more exactly, overweight, Above and beyond the declared curb weight, Swedish journalists registered 279 kg more in the diesel Mondeo, Czech journalists registered "only" 161 kg more in the petrol model, The fourth generation of Ford's largest European model thus most of all resembles an athlete who has ended his active career and become a sports presenter, He still cares about his physical condition but what is more important for him is to look good in front of the cameras in the studio… … moreover, the appearance reminiscent of James Bond cars is among the main benefits of the fourth-generation Mondeo, But, above all, we are talking about the shaping of the front and the side lines because from behind, an uninitiated observer would guess it is a mere facelift of the previous generation, The interior has been shifted farther forward: it has got rid of the complexity of shapes and cheap cheerfulness, The materials used (especially in the centre console) are probably all right from the perspective of American customers but Europeans will still not consider them worthy of the B-segment, Comparison with competitors 239 5 Comparison with competitors The space on offer corresponds to an improved standard of the B-segment, However, we cannot help feeling that the previous Mondeo was a little more generous in the areas of head and knees, Travel is made more pleasant by

a number of modern comfort and assistance systems, The big Ford can offer seats with a massage function, automatic electric tilting of the steering column so the driver can get in and out comfortably, LCD instrument panel and a smart MyKey function with a "child safety" feature, The Mondeo is the first car in its class that can have airbags integrated into the rear seat safety belts, Moreover, the car features an infotainment system with a large touch screen display, which Sony and Microsoft worked on together, Unfortunately, Sync2 shows that not even a team of big names is a guarantee of clarity and precision of control; the speed of Ford's top infotainment even lags well behind the system used in Dacia cars, During 2015, the arrival of a multiple holder of the "International Engine of the Year" title is expected: the 1,0-litre three- cylinder EcoBoost engine, This plan raises legitimate concerns about whether such a drive unit is compatible with the demands placed on the dynamics, actual economy and operation "culture" of the B-segment executive-class car, The plan is also to provide all-wheel drive for diesel units, The version with a hybrid drive is not available for the liftback which is why it has not been included in our comparison, Length 4,871 mm Height 1,482 mm Width 1,852 mm Luggage compartment capacity 550 I ŠKODA Superb Wheel base 2,850 mm Interior length 1,797 mm

So you can have one key for yourself and another one for your wild offspring, (1) … the Mondeo is the first B-segment car in Europe that offers airbags in safety belts to passengers in the rear seats? (2)

Strengths Driving comfort; High payload; Advanced comfort and safety systems; Airbags integrated into seat belts of outer rear seats, Weaknesses Compromising on handling in the name of comfort; Overweight in excess of the declared curb weight; Petrol engines high actual consumption; Compared to competitors, there is a smaller fuel tank (62,5 1); Absence of 4X4 drive (it will come later in 2015), 241 Comparison with competitors 5 Comparison with competitors 5.2.3 Hyundai i40: Korean Dream of Passat After the elimination of the Sonata from their portfolio in 2010, Hyundai did not participate, for two long years, in the battle for European customers in the B-segment, Instead, the South Korean manufacturer worked quietly but extensively on completing the development of a car which was to correct the company's reputation for being chosen by motorists who were more concerned about price than quality, Immediate reactions to the premiere of the new i40 Wagon (yes, the estate was introduced six months before the sedan) made it clear that a move towards European requirements and practices was really noticeable, In the spirit of the corporate philosophy of "Modern Premium", the i40 is like an attempt to interpret the values of the B-segment icon - the VW Passat, Besides, Hyundai itself likes to boast that the "relative" of the Kia Optima was designed in Russelsheim, Germany, specifically for European customers, However, the resulting product is still far too clearly reminiscent of its distinctive South Korean origin, It may be partly due to the fluid

exterior design and the interior with complicated intersections of curves and edges, and partly to the materials used in the cabin and the occasional imperfections in terms of processing or general lack of attention to detail, For example, the centre console and steering wheel spokes have a surface made of plastic which gets greasy easily (which is evident even in official photos), The view into the luggage compartment is at the very least strange for this segment: its ceiling has no upholstery and its full "nudity" therefore reveals the structure of metal die stampings and stiffeners, In addition, the subwoofer of the sound system sticks out of it and could be damaged the moment you try to use the compartment's full 503 litres of volume, Where the i40 really scores is with its five year unlimited warranty (i.e. without mileage limitations, not with unlimited conditions for making warranty claims), rich standard equipment and spaciousness, Already the basic versions have everything the average customer expects (plus a lot of control buttons as a bonus), A selection of optional elements focuses primarily on comfort, However, availability only in full packages is not convenient for everyone, Imagine that you have to order electrically adjustable, heated and ventilated front seatsjust so you can have airbags in the back (since you do occasionally take your children to school by car), While the i40 scores when it comes to equipment, its driving characteristics are a downside, Despite their relatively high output per litre, the petrol engines are not typically too agile, The diesel engines achieve their dynamics with shorter 242 gearing which is reflected in fuel consumption, In Auto Bild's comparative test, the i40 with a 1,7 CRDi/100 kW engine had bigger consumption than the Insignia with a diesel 2,0-litre 103 kW engine, During 2015, the i40's engine compartment will undergo a number of innovations, For example, the 1,7 CRDi diesel engine will be boosted to 105 kW and it will be possible to choose an option consisting of a seven-speed double-clutch transmission, The introduction of systems that have been in the Superb from the very start of its production is also expected, These are, among others: an XDS analogy, an automatic headlamp switch (high-beam assistant) and traffic signs recognition, Length 4,740 mm Height 1,470 mm Width 1,815 mm Luggage compartment capacity 503 I ŠKODA Superb Wheel base 2,770 mm

Did you know that...

…the 5-year unlimited mileage warranty does not apply to cars used as taxis or by car-rentals?

…choosing a travel profile in a vehicle with a manual transmission only changes the response of the power steering? Only in conjunction with an automatic transmission it does also affect the behaviour of the engine and transmission, (1)

…in cars without a large touch screen the images from the parking camera are projected on to a small display within the rear-view mirror? (2)

Strengths Weaknesses

> Ample standard equipment; > The interior radiates an atmosphere of comfort; > Easily accessible luggage compartment (a large boot lid, wide opening); > 5-year unlimited mileage warranty,

> Lack of attention paid to treatment details, plastics used; > A narrow range of engines; > Absence of top diesel engines; > Absence of advanced radar assistance systems; > Worse view in the rear direction as well as the forward oblique view; > Not very high acoustic comfort in terms of the chassis; > Absence of 4*4 drive,

244 5.2.4 Kia Optima: Invisible Individualist What does the Kia Optima have in common with the new Mondeo? A sporty design, a version with a hybrid drive and a two-year delay in arriving on the European market, But while in the case of the "Blue Oval" the delay was due to the global crisis and the associated moving of production from Belgium to Spain, the Kia had to solve the opposite "issue": first of all it had to meet an unexpectedly high demand in North America and Asia, The Optima struggles for customers with the same weapons as does its relative from Hyundai: rich standard trim specifications, spacious interior, long warranty and distinctive design, However, while the i40's fluid shapes appeal to drivers who prefer immediate effect, the Kia offers better quality and a more durable impression, In some of its aspects (profile line, shape and orientation of the instrument panel) it evokes memories of the legendary SAAB models, The Optima was awarded the "Red Dot: Best of the Best 2011" title for its design, While Optima's interior offers surprisingly enough space both in the longitudinal and transverse directions, headroom is not quite as generous, As if the designers, to evoke the impression of dynamics, decreased the body (only the Laguna is lower than the Optima) but kept the interior, or rather the seat anchorages, from the original platform, You simply sit unnecessarily high, Anyone more than 185cm tall (in the rear seats even less) will scrape their heads against the ceiling, even in a version without a panoramic roof, With its offer of equipment elements the Kia copies the Hyundai; so emphasis is put on comfort rather than on state-of- the-art assistance systems, Of the items on the price list, we could mention the electrically adjustable

driver seat (with ventilation) which, in order to make it easier to get in and out, is capable of moving backwards by itself, While the i40 boasts a "European design", the Optima tops it with "European riding", Rather it has the potential for "European riding", Unfortunately, it lacks the engines to make this possible, 245 Comparison with competitors 5 Comparison with competitors The offer essentially includes three options but none of them corresponds to the car's sporty styling, The hybrid system promises high system performance but, due to the low capacity of the batteries (1,43 kWh), it is more of a dead weight and a guzzler of performance of the petrol 2,0-litre engine which must continually recharge the batteries, Kia Optima permanently loses in a duel for European drivers to Hyundai i40 [see Chapter 2.7 - Best-selling models in the B segment (Western Europe)], This could be amended by its successor which is expected to be introduced during 2015, In addition to the sedan version, it should also come as an estate, Length 4,845 mm

247 5 Comparison with competitors 5.2.5 Peugeot 508: A Frenchman Who Wanted To Be a German The successor to the 407 and 607 models was introduced in 2010 and its goal was to offer French charm with German quality, So the same task that, about two years earlier, Renault had set itself with its third Laguna (see Chapter 5.2.7 - Ronault Laguna: A Harbingor of Bottor Timos). This elegant saloon came as a pleasant surprise when it was premiered, Peugeot finally could offer a car that stood up to direct comparison with the standards of the B-segment, People who changed the older 407 for the 508 were thrilled with the progress in riding comfort and handling, indeed, they were enraptured with the interior space on offer: this time, even adult passengers of normal stature could fit in the back seat! Those who let themselves be charmed by the sculpturesque design of the opulent French product and exchanged their vehicle made in western, central or northern Europe for Peugeot, probably experienced a "culture shock" during the first weeks, The designers fitted the 508 with a number of illogical trinkets that can trump even Citroen, For example, where would you expect to have switches for the ESC and the Start-Stop system? The correct answer is: in the hinged compartment located under the steering wheel on the left-hand side, i.e. at a place where other cars have their light switch, And what else can be found to the left of the steering wheel? Yes, you've guessed correctly - the engine start button and the electric parking brake button, The great Frenchman matures each time further care is given to the model, So, in 2014, it also got a less chubby face with full-LED headlamps, Head-Up Display and a powerful petrol unit (although from a family with not a very good reputation, i.e. THP), Inside, the original centre console with too many buttons was replaced by a large touchscreen display, Unfortunately, right underneath, there are retractable cupholders: reaching over the coffee cups you will not be able to control a great number of the car's comfort features,,, and indeed, you will not actually even see this display, The 508's domain is travelling over long distances in style and comfort (the driver's seat can have a massage function), The optimal choice for the big Peugeot are diesel engines, For drivers who, for some reason, would want to take the 508 off the motorway on to winding roads, the French have prepared a GT trim with a special front axle (a similar approach to Opel with the Insignia), An interesting option on some markets is a hybrid version which, to some limited extent, is able to substitute the all-wheel drive,

250 5.2.6 Citroen C5: Cruising Picasso The largest Citroen cars have always been perceived as the biggest alternative of all, The C5 is no exception and it does everything in its own way, However, anyone who accepts its specifics will get a car with the nature, as well as the soul, of an ocean liner: it floats over bumpsjust as gracefully, it has a similar number of controls and the analogy is fitting even with regard to the car's weight, The thing that contributes to the driver's transformation into a ship captain the most is the hydropneumatic suspension, It creates a kind of insulating layer between the car and the road and its task is to absorb and filter out everything that could undermine the feeling of comfort on board,,, whether it is potholes, speed bumps or the driver's indulging in a little bit of an adrenaline ride, Although the C5 can thread through bends with relative certainty and, strangely enough, even speed, the uncommunicative steering and its considerable weight (see the weight overview in Chapter 5.3.2 - Transport capabilities) make it perfectly clear that this is not a jet ski but rather a cruiser, The "captain" and "first lieutenant" have a lot of space inside, The basic seats are already comfortable but at higher trim levels they not only have more set-up options but also a massage function (only for the driver), In the back, two "cabin boys", provided they are not too tall, will have no problems fitting in, The C5 wins a bonus at least for the option to fold the rear backrest flat to a horizontal position, The competition cannot do this, A special chapter should be written on Citroen's unorthodox solutions to banal things, Their list for the C5 includes, for example, a steering wheel with a fixed-centre which your fingers will scrape against, In addition, its aluminium decoration gets chilly in winter and burning hot in summer, The headlamps inclination adjustment is to be found on the steering column, the emergency stop switch is in front of the passenger, i.e. beyond the reach of the driver, The poor range of assistance systems on offer (see Chapter 5.3.5 - Accessories) reveals in full daylight the design age of the Citroen C5 (on the market since 2008), The range of engines offered is not too large either, Both could be changed by the successor which is expected to be introduced during 2016, 251

253 Comparison with competitors 5 Comparison with competitors 5.2.7 Renault Laguna: A Harbinger of Better Times

In 2007, Renault changed its corporate slogan from "Createur d'automobile" to "Drive the Change", With this, it made it clear that it had decided to draw a thick line behind its past and to resolve the long-term issues with quality and declining consumer confidence, The third Laguna became a symbol of this new era and was to amend the bad reputation of its predecessor, Needless to say, this intention was achieved, In the reliability statistics produced by DEKRA, Laguna is better than average, The avant-garde, chiselled shapes of its predecessor were forgotten - as well as the amount of space in the rear half of the car, While the driver and the front passenger have a cosy and comfortable cockpit, the space in the back is more suitable for children, but only without a child seat, Squeezing a child seat in through a relatively short and low door requires a great deal of spatial imagination and skill (or brute force), The Laguna does not score even after the tailgate is opened: 450 litres is not considered enough space for luggage in this class but rather a compartment for a handbag, Despite the age of its design, the Laguna can offer quite modern equipment items, often designed with remarkable creativity, For example, "R-Link" infotainment with 5,8" touch screen display allows launching applications, such as weather forecast or email, Only it does not use the mirroring from a smartphone (see MirrorLink™ in the Superb) but launches it directly in the infotainment, The downside is that for this reason the Laguna needs its own SIM card with a data plan, Or let's take the cruise control: it is activated by a switch on the centre console behind the handbrake but is controlled using buttons on the steering wheel, To control the radio, a good tactile memory is required because Renault, instead of a multifunction steering wheel, uses a special module on the steering column, The third Laguna operates on the Renault/Nissan D platform which it also shares with the larger Renault Latitude or Nissan Murano, Although in the intergenerational comparison the Laguna III stiffened its chassis, its driving characteristics are still tuned more to comfort, Yet, anyone who is interested in a car that is good for "cutting corners" should not cross this French car off their list too early: if it has an item called "4 Control" on its list of options, the Laguna is fitted with an active all-wheel steering system, A look into the catalogue will reveal that the Laguna is betting on diesel, There is only one petrol engine offered, It is an atmospheric 2-litre that will perhaps only suit those people who are interested in an individual conversion to LPG, Like with the other French representatives in our selection, the Laguna also has the diesel engines' torque without a flat curve, 254

256 5.2.8 ŠKODA Superb: The New Peak In its third generation, the Superb lives up to its name more than ever before, Previous Superbs mainly appealed to customers who required space, comfort and quality but did not have the ambition to razzle-dazzle the neighbourhood, The new car from the Kvasiny plant in the Czech Republic will meet their requirements in this respect as well, But if you want it to look discreet, the combination of the body colour and the wheel sizes will need to be carefully aligned, The reason for this is that the third Superb's design has undergone a literally revolutionary change compared with its predecessors, The Superb isnotonlymore sporty, but also larger, The intergenerational increase in dimensions to the very top of the B-segment may raise concerns among some customers about manoeuvring in tight spaces, such as in underground garages, The good news for them is that the view from the Superb is better than in most of its direct competitors, However, should anyone be afraid that the paintwork might get scratched, they can rely on a number of parking assistants, Hand in hand with the external dimensions, the interior space has increased as well, This can be seen especially in the elbow width, The Superb M's lead in longitudinal space did not need to be exceeded; in order for the new

version to defend its title as champion in the B-segment (and C-segment too), it was more than enough to keep the existing 157mm forthe knees in the back, The luggage compartment has gained 30 litres of extra space but, unfortunately, has lost its unique TwinDoor, On the other hand, it has gained comfortable opening using the "Virtual Pedal" which, from an objective point of view, more than satisfactorily compensates for this loss, The new Superb is not only at the top of the segment because of its external and internal dimensions but also because of the technologies used, Here, the largest ŠKODA car benefits from the advantages of MQB-B, What is available are advanced driver assistance systems and comfort features which basically only the Mondeo and the Insignia can compete with, 257 Comparison with competitors 5 Comparison with competitors The Superb competes with both of these cars in other areas too, With Opel it competes for the richest variety of aggregates and drives, And as for Ford,,, Do you remember the praised tuning of the chassis and driving agility of the previous-generation Mondeo? The imaginary crown belonging to the king of driving characteristics should be handed over not to the new Ford but to our new Superb, Length 4,861 mm

Your Selling Points > ŠKODA Superb's external dimensions make it a product that is the best in the segment,,, > … and with its internal dimensions it easily beats its competitors, > The longitudinal spaciousness between the front and rear seats is in balance - touring comfort is therefore enjoyed not only by the driver but also by other passengers,

263 5 Comparison with competitors 5.3.2 Transport capabilities The transport capabilities of a car are determined by many more things thanjust the volume of the luggage compartment, This must be balanced with the payload, After all, what is a big boot for if the weight limit can all be used up by 4 well-built adult passengers (see the petrol version of the Insignia or the diesel version of the Optima)? Or vice versa - why have a car that is (with slight exaggeration) more likely suitable for transporting lead ingots (see the C5 and the Laguna with petrol engines which have a relatively high payload but a small luggage compartment)? The above values are based on data provided by manufacturers, The volume of the luggage compartment applies to vehicles with a tyre repair set, Although in the Hyundai i40, Kia Optima and Citroen C5 the rear backrests can be folded down, the manufacturer does not specify the size of this space, When the payload was not indicated, it was calculated by the difference between the total weight and the curb weight, The weight of the driver is not taken into account, thus the curb weight indicates the weight of the car as such; in the same way, the payload indicates how much can be loaded into the car, BASIC/MAXIMUM LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT VOLUME Average ŠKODASuperb OPEL Insignia FORD Mondeo HYUNDAI i40 KIA Optima PEUGEOT 508 CITROEN C5 RENAULT Laguna Front Rear Note: The Hyundai i40, Kia Optima and Citroen C5 have foldable rear backrests, however, the manufacturer does not specify the maximum volume.

Your Selling Points > Using the petrol engine as an example, it is easy to see the importance of the symbiosis between a powerful

engine, weight and gearing (see the 508 and the C5). In order for the Superb to beat its competitors in dynamics, lower engine output is sufficient,

> A contest among the most powerful diesel engines makes it clear that there are practical benefits to the combination of a lightweight structure and double-clutch DSG transmission,

Aftersales 279 7 Aftersales The ŠKODA AUTO production programme extends beyond the cars themselves to include other product categories: > ŠKODA GENUINE PARTS > ŠKODA GENUINE EXCHANGE PARTS > ŠKODA PACKAGE PRICING > ŠKODA GENUINE ACCESSORIES These products account for a large proportion of the turnover of any carmaker and significantly affect its financial results, ŠKODA AUTO, by drawing on its know-how and applying quality control processes, markets these products to help maintain driveability and vehicle safety even after they have been repaired or expanded for greater customer convenience. The quality of all products is a significant factor underscoring customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. 280

7.1 ŠKODA Genuine Parts Spare parts identical to the components used in the production of brand new cars are sold under the ŠKODA Genuine Parts brand, As a result, ordinary customers, unable to distinguish a quality product from a poor copy by sight alone, can be sure of top quality and complete compatibility, However, as rival parts are cheaper, it is very important to explain to customers carefully and precisely the difference between products recommended and approved by ŠKODA AUTO and the products offered by others, SAFETY Every component in a vehicle has an important function, and some parts directly influence driving safety, While the lower standard of other manufacturers' components may not be apparent in everyday use, in extreme situations, where the safety of the vehicle's occupants is of paramount importance, the quality of a part may be a matter of life and death, This applies in particular to the vehicle braking system, seat belts, airbags and other safety features, TOP QUALITY ŠKODA Genuine Parts undergo rigorous testing of different types to ensure the faultless verification of product quality, The development department's extensive testing facilities, including a test track and the quality department's materials lab, are used for quality assurance, Besides the usual crash tests and tests aimed at the protection of pedestrians, there are tests encompassing areas, such as weather and temperature resistance and solar radiation simulations, LONG LIFESPAN The use of top-quality materials and state-of-the-art technology in the production of ŠKODA Genuine Parts guarantees their maximum reliability and long life, ŠKODA Genuine Parts are provided with a minimum two-year warranty (a three-year warranty for ŠKODA Genuine Batteries), The price is entirely in keeping with their quality and the performance required of them, 281

7 Aftersales AVAILABILITY The dense network of ŠKODA AUTO authorised service shops ensures that all ŠKODA drivers' requirements are met quickly and easily, ŠKODA Genuine Parts needed for vehicle operation continue to be supplied for up to 15 years after production of the relevant model ends, The availability of other groups of parts depends on their importance, ORIGINAL TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS The level of development of ŠKODA Genuine Parts always reflects advances made in the components currently on sale, In other words, they incorporate all innovations made as the model in question has evolved, making it quite likely that customers who fit ŠKODA Genuine Parts will find that they have obtained a technically superior product than that installed when they bought the car, FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS ŠKODA Genuine Parts guarantee the very best driveability, faultless control over the car, and comfort and convenience for all occupants, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Compliance with all legislative requirements is a must for ŠKODA AUTO, ŠKODA Genuine Parts also include replacement parts that do not heavily pollute the environment with waste, surplus heat or water contamination during production, Returned parts are modified and recycled so that they can be used again, thus drawing on a significant part of the energy expended in their original production, 282

7.2 ŠKODA Genuine Exchange Parts ŠKODA Genuine Exchange Parts are a decisive step that ŠKODA AUTO has taken towards greater environmental protection and the broader availability of its products, Under this programme, factory reconditioned parts (previously used parts which have undergone specialist treatment for possible reuse) are offered, In the reconditioning process, each part is completely dismantled, cleaned, measured and inspected, The individual components are then professionally reconditioned or, if this is not possible, replaced with brand new components, The extensive reuse of returned parts means that the environment suffers much less of a burden in terms of waste and energy consumption, THE RANGE OF ŠKODA GENUINE EXCHANGE PARTS INCLUDES: > Transmissions > Engines, cylinder heads > Clutch discs and thrust bearings > Fuel injection pumps, nozzles and other parts > Starters > Alternators > Drive shafts > Outer ball joint sets > Disc brake calipers > Water pumps > Turbochargers > Catalytic converters > Mass air flow meters and other parts > Car radios > Diesel particulate filters > Compressor units Constant control is an intrinsic part of the whole process of factory reconditioning, guaranteeing that ŠKODA Genuine Exchange Parts match the quality of new parts, This is why ŠKODA AUTO has no qualms about providing a two-year warranty on its Genuine Exchange Parts, In terms of price, ŠKODA Genuine Exchange Parts are up to 60% cheaper than new parts, 283 7 Aftersales

7.3 ŠKODA Package Pricing

Proof #1: Front disc and brake pads + Professional work and know-how

= One price for all the genuine quality ŠKODA Package Pricing is a service offer for end customers, It means the complete price for quality parts, work and VAT in one package, Each complete service offer can be set up individually and for each car model, You can edit and set up complete service packages in the VideoConfigurator application, The VideoConfigurator application enables the dealers to prepare an animation of selected ŠKODA models with information about the prices and of various service actions, The output of the application is MP4 or MOV video, which can be downloaded and presented on a TV set in the showroom, The dealer will also get a HTML animation for placing on their website (http://videoconfigurator,ŠKODA-info.cz/), 284 7.4 ŠKODA Genuine Accessories The Genuine Accessories available as optional equipment help to give each car a unique and individual style, As part of ŠKODA Genuine Accessories product range for ŠKODA Superb, it is possible to purchase items like child seats, roof racks, alloy wheels further expanding the range of factory-fitted ones, elements for individualisation of both interior and exterior design, and a whole range of accessories improving both utility value and individual character of the car, ŠKODA Genuine Accessories particularly consist of items not included in the standard, or sometimes optional,

equipment range for production or other reasons, Nevertheless, the range of ŠKODA Genuine Accessories is often identical to the range of optional equipment (e.g. foot mats, stainless-steel pedal covers) or even the standard equipment of higher specification models, The aim is not to create competition between accessories and optional equipment, but to satisfy the wishes of customers both before and after the sale of the car, However, most of the products listed below are only available as ŠKODA Genuine Accessories, 7.4.1 Communicating the Genuine Accessories A key element in promoting ŠKODA Genuine Accessories and making them more attractive to customers will continue to include the benefits that ŠKODA Genuine Accessories provide to customers compared to other, non-genuine, products, The following basic promotional tools will be used in ŠKODA Genuine Accessories sales support to establish the very best possible communication with prospective ŠKODA Superb buyers: > A brochure about the model for end customers, containing illustrations and a brief description of the basic

ŠKODA Superb genuine accessories; > Product sheets with technical and sales information about particular genuine accessories for ŠKODA AUTO dealers; > Guidebook on displaying/promoting ŠKODA Genuine Accessories within dealerships; > An online presentation on the ŠKODA AUTO website at www,ŠKODA-auto.com, complemented by key

288 7.4.3 Active Selling Concept ŠKODA customer loyalty depends not only on customers' satisfaction with their new car, It is also very important to offer additional services and products that make everyday use of the car easier or more pleasant, ŠKODA Genuine Parts (SGP) and ŠKODA Genuine Accessories (SGA) play a key role here, Although part and accessory sales account for a significant share of the turnover and financial results of any car maker, this is certainly not the main reason why producers focus on this area - their primary aim is customer satisfaction and brand loyalty, For sales of SGP and SGA to go ahead smoothly, close cooperation needs to be fostered between the newcar sales staff and servicing personnel, Everyone from those actually selling SGP and SGA to the technician accepting a vehicle for servicing must be able to tell customers clearly and precisely about the advantages of ŠKODA Genuine Parts, New-car dealers play a crucial role in communicating ŠKODA Genuine Accessories, Most SGA sales are generated when customers are purchasing a new car, so it is important for accessories to be presented actively and clearly - either on racks or directly on the display vehicles - in the showroom,

289 7 Aftersales Even the very best products require active selling Success comes to those who show some initiative and who identify new opportunities to communicate and offer after-sales products and services, People are now overloaded with advertising, "Bargain" offers are raining down on them from all sides, Average consumers find it difficult to navigate their way round these offers, and therefore often rely on the price as the sole criterion underlying their choice, Most are often unaware that the financial savings have been achieved at the cost of poorer quality or insufficient testing, Under these circumstances, it is important not to wait until customers make their own way to your showroom or service centre - you have to get out there and meet them halfway! 1) CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONTACT Seasonal and other special servicing offers (ŠKODA Package Pricing) are not the only way of doing this, Proven methods of reaching out to both existing customers and prospects are family events and demonstration presentations, 2) KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER Reconnoitre your sales area and the purchasing power of the population, Based on the result, select appropriate marketing communications for your region, You could hire a marketing agency to help you, ŠKODA AUTO has contracted agencies you can approach, but you are free to pick a local agency of your choice, 3) GO TO WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE To gain new customers, dealers must go to them, i.e. hold presentations in places where prospects are most easy to approach, such as sales campaigns in shopping centres, at exhibitions and various social events and celebrations, 4) MAKE YOURSELF SEEN Advertise your offers and events with leaflets - either by inserting them in local periodicals or delivering them yourselves, hire media space on the radio, on regional media stations, or on the Internet, or provide sponsorship,

5) SHOW THAT YOU CARE After customers have visited your service centre, you should contact them after a certain time to make sure they are satisfied with the service they received, The aim is to define the needs of your customers, which you can then take into account in future events, Your and our common goal is not only to increase SGP and SGA sales, but also - and primarily - to gain and maintain satisfied customers who will recommend the ŠKODA brand, and its products and services, to their friends, 290 7.5 ŠKODA Service The standard of servicing plays an increasingly important role in a customer's decision to purchase a particular car, It is therefore necessary to know some basic information about the options and advantages of the services provided by ŠKODA authorised service partners, The advantages of using ŠKODA Service should be presented actively during communication with prospects, 7.5.1 Density of the service network ŠKODA AUTO has a dense service network of more than 4,700 ŠKODA authorised service partners worldwide, 7.5.2 Quality of personnel and technologies applied The service training facility prepares various types of technical, non-technical and IT training in collaboration with the manufacturer's other specialised departments, This enables service personnel to keep deepening their knowledge and learning about new vehicle technology, new service systems, and interaction with the customer, This lifelong learning policy guarantees the expertise and professionalism of authorised service partners, Naturally, new courses related to the introduction of the new model will also be offered to service personnel. Whenever a ŠKODA car starts to "ask" for a service, all the customer has to do is to make a phone call, Qualified servicing personnel arrange a date and time with the customer, The ŠKODA authorised service partner can therefore allocate sufficient time to inspect the customer's car so that it receives the best possible care. ŠKODA vehicles require the use of advanced servicing technologies, Repair and upkeep procedures prescribed by the manufacturer, combined with top-quality workshop equipment, diagnostic systems and trained personnel, can guarantee the flawless and reliable functioning of the customer's vehicle. 7.5.3 Transparency and openness - customers are kept informed about the price of a job at all

stages of the process We have established standard times for vehicle repairs and maintenance in accordance with our philosophy of dealing fairly and transparently with customers, This is the only way to make sure that the estimated repair prices quoted are reliable, ŠKODA authorised service partners give their customers a preliminary quotation when accepting vehicles for servicing, i.e. customers are informed in advance about the cost of the repair, If a particular job exceeds the agreed limits, ŠKODA authorised service partners immediately inform the customers and discuss the subsequent steps, Customers are therefore informed about the progress of thejob at all stages of the process,

291 7 Aftersales 7.5.4 ŠKODA Care products* In today's keenly competitive environment, when customers are purchasing a car they need to be offered a portfolio of service products providing comprehensive care throughout the life of the vehicle, ŠKODA Care products within ŠKODA Service network enable providing comprehensive customer care and increasing customer loyalty, including ŠKODA Insurance, ŠKODA Extended Warranty, ŠKODA Service and Maintenance Packages and Mobility Warranty, These products are generally offered to the customer in the sale stage and may be combined,

Mobility Warranty ŠKODA offers a comprehensive Mobility Warranty, This offer may contribute to a customer's decision to buy a ŠKODA, Therefore, make sure you inform your potential customers about the advantages of the Mobility Warranty, If a customer's car breaks down, the "ŠKODA Assistance" call centre arranges for a service vehicle to go to the break-down site free of charge and, if necessary, arranges towing to the nearest ŠKODA authorised service partner and additional services for the driver and passengers, such as an overnight stay in a hotel, a replacement vehicle or substitute transport - all as part of the Mobility Warranty, The Mobility Warranty is only valid if the proper servicing inspections are carried out by the network of ŠKODA authorised service partners, Every duly completed servicing inspection extends the Mobility Warranty by another service interval, Mobility Warranty is provided free of charge throughout the vehicle lifetime, provided that the service inspections comply with conditions in the vehicle's Service Book, 293 7 Aftersales

ŠKODA Extended Warranty With the Superb, like with other ŠKODA models, customers can order a car with an Extended Warranty, This Extended Warranty is offered as optional extras; when placing an order for a vehicle, customers can choose an appropriate equipment package in the configurator, If a customer selects a stock vehicle manufactured and delivered without an Extended Warranty, this can be ordered via the spare part ordering system no later than the time of sale and delivery of the new vehicle to a customer, Once a vehicle has been sold to a customer, an Extended Warranty cannot be purchased, The Extended Warranty expires either at the end of the selected period for which the warranty has been extended, or on reaching the selected mileage limit (whichever is earlier), Over the duration of the Extended Warranty, customers have the right to free, timely and proper removal of legitimately claimed defects, The Extended Warranty does not apply to the normal operational wear and tear of parts consistent with the vehicle's mileage defined in the Service Schedule and Handbook Service Organisation, When an Extended Warranty is purchased, the warranty period for defects in paint on the bodywork remains at three years and the period for non-rusting through of bodywork remains at twelve years, Within the Extended Warranty, the customer has the right to the repair of justifiably claimed defects, However, there is no entitlement to either a vehicle exchange or the right to withdrawal from the contract, During the Extended Warranty period the customer is entitled to the free repair of claimed defects at any authorised ŠKODA service partner regardless of where the defect occurred, If the defect occurs outside of the country, in which a new car was put into operation, it is necessary to repair the defect at any authorised ŠKODA service partner in the country where breakdown occurred and when making a claim the customer must present the service booklet, in which the Extended Warranty is confirmed, If a justifiably claimed defect is not repaired free of charge and the customer has to pay the costs associated with the repair themselves, then their local authorised ŠKODA service partner shall reimburse those expenses in accordance with the current exchange rate upon presentation of proof of payment, In case that the repair is not provided free of charge and is charged to customer despite the meeting of all the conditions for entitlement to warranty repairs during the Extended Warranty, then the difference between customer and warranty rates will be charged to the importer whose service partner charged customer for repair costs, In internal systems all vehicles coming with the ŠKODA Extended Warranty are highlighted to refer to the "EW-ASG- ŠKODA" Service Contract, Available data include the "Date of beginning", "Date of end" as well as "Initial mileage status" (km) and "End mileage status" (km), The Service Contract can be found in: > ElsaPro > Vehicle data > Contract data; > SAGA/2 > Master data > Vehicles > Contract data, 294 Warranty claims related to repairs during the Extended Warranty are handled in the usual way in the SAGA/2 using claim type l-AG, 7.5.5 Comprehensive range of services From time to time, customers' ŠKODA vehicles require our care, whether for regular maintenance, repairs or a customer's intention to purchase or hire ŠKODA Genuine Accessories, The ŠKODA Service has suitable solutions for all these situations as far as taking care of the customer's car and keeping the customer mobile are concerned,

> The first official "tasting" of the new Superb's styling took place in the spring of 2014: ŠKODA presented the VisionC, a five-door concept coupe, at the Geneva Motor Show. Both industry experts and visitors were impressed by the car's clean- cut silhouette, horizontal lines that highlighted its athletic build and smart details nailed to perfection. All these attributes have been applied to the vehicle that is soon going to arrive at your showrooms. > The third-generation Superb's strong visual dynamics and confidence have been described very appositely by one of the participants of our in-house focus group sessions: "When you see this car in your rear-view mirror, you will leave the fast lane." > The third-generation ŠKODA Superb comes with a portfolio of 14 body colours: 4 non-metallic (Candy White, Laser White, Corrida Red, Pacific Blue) and 10 metallic ones (Moon White, Brilliant Silver, Cappuccino Beige, Jungle Green, Lava Blue, Rosso Brunello, Business Grey, Quarz Grey, Magnetic Brown, Magic Black). > The "Business" grey metallic colour is being used for the first time in a ŠKODA and is becoming the communication colour for the brand's biggest liftback. Interior > Compared with the Superb II, the rear-seat elbow width has grown by nearly seven centimetres. > For the first time in a ŠKODA model, the vehicle can be fitted with three-zone air conditioning. > The Climatronic air conditioning system includes a humidity sensor... > ...and the REST system designed to keep heating the car for as much as 30 minutes after the ignition switch-off. > Coming in three colours (white, blue, green), the Interior LED Lighting Package takes interior lighting to new heights. > As a brand-new function, a tablet can be safely stored in a special compartment that is part of the Jumbo Box, in a holder located in the rear-seat arm rest or in a holder in the front-seat arm rest. > Ventilated front seats (including heating) are available from the Ambition upwards. > Compared with the previous-generation Superb, the total volume of storage compartments has grown by more than 20%, to max. 26.7 litres (depending on the selected trim level). > The luggage compartment has grown by 30 I to 625 I (including the spare wheel compartment). > As a brand new function, the rear-seat backrests can be folded down also from the luggage compartment. > The backrest of the Superb's front passenger seat can be folded down to enable transportation of objects as much as 3,110 mm long. > The new Superb comes with 20 combinations of seat, door & ceiling upholstery and carpet. 307 8 Summary Equipment > The new Superb is fitted exclusively with second-generation infotainment (MIB) systems. > The touch screen sizes are as follows: Swing MIB 5", Bolero and Amundsen 6.5", Columbus 8". > USB socket for connecting external audio sources comes as standard on all MIBs. > The car can be equipped with an additional USB socket for rear-seat passengers. > Bluetooth telephony comes as standard from the Bolero MIB upwards (option for the Swing MIB). > Starting from the Bolero MIB, infotainment systems are equipped, as standard, with the MirrorLink™ functionality (from CW 22/2015 also with the Apple CarPlay, Google Android Auto) to mirror certified smartphone functions/applications on the MIB display. > The Columbus MIB navigation comes with the "Rubberband Tool", a new feature for simple route

changes. > All MIBs include the Drive Green function to evaluate the environmental friendliness of the user's driving style. > The Media Command function makes it possible to control the Columbus MIB via a mobile device application. > The CANTON Sound System has an output of 610 W and comes with 12 speakers (including a subwoofer). > Thanks to the Phone Box, mobile phone will have signal even in places with poor reception. > Parking can be supervised by the third generation Park Assist. The Superb will select a suitable location itself and park - applicable to both parallel and perpendicular parking, including, as an innovation, forward perpendicular parking. > Another parking assistant is the Rear Traffic Alert. > As an innovation, the tow bar has a pop-out design and can be simply released from the luggage compartment. > The boot lid can be operated electrically. > The luggage compartment can be opened simply by "kicking" the "Virtual Pedal". > The windscreen is heated by means of a transparent, metal-coated layer to offer unobstructed vision. > As a standard feature, the Columbus MIB can create a local wireless network WLAN (Wi-Fi). 308 Safety > Thanks to the modular MQB-B platform, the Superb offers a wide range of cutting-edge safety and assistance systems. > Advanced material engineering has pushed the boundaries of passive safety: compared with the Superb II, the skeleton of the new Superb is more rigid, yet lighter. > Innovations include radar-based assistance systems: Front Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control and, for the first time in a ŠKODA model, the Trafficjam Assist, Emergency Assist, Blind Spot Detect and Rear Traffic Alert. > Camera-based systems include the Lane Assist, Light Assist and Smart Light Assist. > The Smart Light Assist system with an active variable dimming solution maximises the time for which the driver can have high beams on. > The Rear View Camera with dynamic guide line changes (according to wheel turn angle) makes parking a lot easier. > As many as nine airbags (including driver's knee airbag) to protect the car occupants in the event of an accident. > Bi-Xenon headlamps with AFS and LED daytime running lamps. > LED technology available also for the integrated LED tail lights. > The attractive integrated LED tail lights solution is part of the exterior LED package (also includes a registration plate LED lamp).

Engine > The engine portfolio has been changed completely - all of the engines are brand new. > All of the engines fitted to the new Superb are four-cylinder, turbocharged units with direct fuel injection and four valves per cylinder, compliant with the EU 6 emission standard. > The top-end petrol engine, 2.0 TSI/206 kW, is the most powerful spark ignition unit across ŠKODA. > The same applies to the top-end diesel engine, 2.0 TDI/140 kW. > The 1.6 TDI/88 kW and 2.0 TDI/140 kW engines are being used for the first time in a ŠKODA model. > The 1.4 TSI ACT/110 kW engine with deactivation of two cylinders is making a debut, too. Moreover, it is the first-ever small-volume turbocharged engine with direct fuel injection to offer this cutting-edge solution. > Four engines are available for four-wheel-drive vehicles, and the most powerful petrol and diesel units (206 kW and 140 kW, respectively) combine the four-wheel-drive exclusively with six-speed double-clutch DSG transmission. > The 2.0 TDI/110 kW (for 4x4) and 2.0 TDI/140 kW engines are fitted with SCR, a urea (AdBlue®) injection system. 309 8 Summary Transmission > The cutting-edge double-clutch DSG systems combine the benefits of manual and conventional automatic gearboxes. > DSG benefits as compared with manual systems: > Smooth gear shifting and acceleration without interrupting the power transmission; > Comparable fuel consumption with higher control comfort; > Unique sporty driving experience thanks to lightning-fast gear shifts (milliseconds) with no need to release the accelerator pedal; > The sailing mode saves fuel by consistently utilising the vehicle's kinetic energy. Bod a chassis > Thanks to substantially increased dimensions in both longitudinal and transverse directions, the new Superb offers more room in both the passenger and luggage compartments. > The MQB-B platform with a high share of hot-formed, high-strength steel elements has reduced the vehicle's weight by as much as 75 kg and increased the strength of the body and thus enhanced the driving comfort. > The adaptive chassis constantly monitors and evaluates the driving style and the road quality to maximize safety. Moreover, it can be set to meet the driver's preferences. > The rack-and-pinion steering system with an electromechanical R-EPS booster with variable effect saves fuel

and makes it possible to use advanced assistance systems. > The electromechanical parking brake with the Autohold function increases comfort when stopping or pulling away. > The electronic limited-slip differential, XDS+, is designed to actively support the car's responsiveness and increase overall safety. > The four-wheel-drive system is based on the fifth-generation inter-axle Haldex clutch (Haldex 5). 310 8.3 Other chapters Big goals for a big car The tradition of the Superb line goes back to the 1930-1940s when this name represented the best ŠKODA had to offer to its customers, Decades later, in 2001, the Superb got back to the brand's portfolio to win some 130,000 customers, impressing primarily with ample rear leg room, Launched in 2008, the second contemporary Superb came with a variety of "Simply Clever" solutions, including a variable tailgate opening system called TwinDoor, Along with the estate version, the car won ca 570,000 customers to become one of the major players in the B segment, The ambition of the new Superb is even more daring: we believe thatthe third generation will beatthe sales of all the previous Superbs puttogether! The Cruiseship The Spaceship The Smartship The Flagship Ur-Superb 1934-1949 1st generation Superb (B5) 2001-2008 2nd generation Superb (B6) 2008-2014 3rd generation Superb (B8) 2015-

Key words > Comfortable limousine in the premium segment > Impressive rear-seat roominess > Impressive rear-seat roominess > Impressive rear-seat roominess > Smart solutions > Modern technology > Impressive rear-seat roominess > Smart solutions > Cutting-edge technology > Striking design Production ca 900 units ca 130,000 units ca 570,000 units est. 900,000 units 311 8 Summary In terms of relationships with both existing and new customers, there are 6 areas in which the new ŠKODA Superb aims to achieve substantial intergenerational growth or at least reinforce its position: BRAND PERCEPTION: our flagship product will find it easy to prove that the label "best Superb of all time" is apposite, EXISTING CUSTOMERS: the third-generation Superb has retained all the properties appreciated by the owners of the previous models, including, in particular, ample roominess, high practicality and adequate price, COMPETITIVENESS: the new Superb sets new standards for technological sophistication not only within ŠKODA's product portfolio, but in some respects also for its direct competitors, NEW, DISCERNING CUSTOMERS: attractive design (plus sophisticated technology, high-quality materials, excellent workmanship and a favourable price/ value ratio) makes the third-generation Superb the first choice also for drivers of other brands who have so far believed that the shape of our flagship model is perhaps too conservative, BUSINESS: the list of more than 150 standard and optional items available for the new Superb includes a large number of solutions designed to convert the vehicle into an office on four wheels, FAMILIES: as is so typical of ŠKODA vehicles, the new Superb is a great choice forfamilies leading active lifestyles, offering a roomy and practical luggage compartment, advanced safety solutions, intelligent four-wheel drive,,, and much more, Communication > The communication and marketing campaign comes with a clear message: we are presenting the best-ever ŠKODA Superb!

> In addition to its traditional customers, the new Superb's ambition is to approach drivers of competing vehicles who may be tired of having to choose between buying a car that features a bold, elegant face or one that looks less prestigious but is roomier and more practical, ŠKODA's top-end product will mean the end of this dilemma, because it will give them exactly what the campaign claim promises - they can "Travel in style, Travel in space," > The communication campaign is at the stage of intense preparation, so we cannot yet show you any particular samples, We will let you know once the final materials are available on the ŠKODA B2B Portal, 312 Summay
