IT MIGHT be smaller in cubic capacity than the engine it replaces, but a new 1.6-litre diesel for the Skoda Superb Hatch and Estate models mean lower company car tax rates – and no loss in performance.
This new 1.6-litre 105hp TDI CR engine replaces the old 1.9-litre TDI unit in the Superb range – currently our best family car (see supplement Best Business Cars).
CO2 emissions drop from 149g/km to 130g/km for the Hatch. That means business drivers will enjoy a company car tax rate of 18%, rather than 21%.
For drivers opting for the Estate model, CO2 emissions drop from 153g/km to 133g/km, a company car tax drop of four bands down to 18% like the Hatch.
The Skoda Superb 1.6 TDI CR is available in S and SE trim levels priced from £17,480.
