ŠKODA UK has signed double Olympian Ed Clancy as a brand ambassador.

Milton Keynes, 20th May 2013 – The partnership with the pro cyclist, who won gold in the team pursuit at last summer’s Olympic Games, will help to strengthen the manufacturer’s association with the sport.

This two-year deal cements SKODA UK's long-standing association with cycling, which already includes sponsorship of the Tour of Britain, Prudential RideLondon and pro teams Rapha Condor-JLT and Matrix Fitness.

ŠKODA UK will use its sponsorship activity to promote the benefits of cycling and to encourage more British families to take up the sport. ŠKODA UK enjoys an outstanding reputation among cyclists, and looks to continue to build its support of the sport over the coming years.

Heidi Cartledge, Head of Marketing for ŠKODA UK, commented: “Cycling is enjoying a huge revival in the UK at the moment and ŠKODA is incredibly proud to be part of it. Britain boasts many of the sport’s brightest stars, including Ed Clancy. We’re really excited to have Ed on board and hope that this will inspire families all over the UK to get out on their bikes and have fun!”

ŠKODA has a long association with cycling, dating back to the start of the company in 1895 when its founders Vaclav Laurin and Vaclav Klement began manufacturing bicycles in their home town of Mlada Boleslav in the Czech Republic. The manufacturer provides vehicles to the Tour de France and the Tour of Britain, as well as other major cycling races across the world.

Having undergone a comprehensive facelift, both Hatch and Estate versions offer a fresh and attractive design, an upgraded interior and significantly improved fuel economy and CO2 emissions.

Milton Keynes, 9th May 2013 – ŠKODA has revealed UK price and specification details for its updated Superb flagship model.

On sale in the UK from the 17th July 2013, prices for the facelift Superb range start at just £18,555 (OTR) for the 1.4-litre TSI 125PS S Hatch. The top-of-the-range Laurin & Klement Estate model costs £32,455 (OTR) when paired with the 2.0 TDI CR 170PS DFP engine, 4x4 and 6spd Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG). Diesel versions start from £19,760 (OTR). The premium for the Estate over its hatch sibling is £1,125.

The Superb facelift will be available in the UK with six advanced engine options: three petrol and three diesel. Power outputs range from 105PS (1.6 TDI CR) to 260PS for the 3.6 V6 model.

Engines are up to 19% more economical than the previous generation units, and a fuel-efficient GreenLine version offers emissions of just 109g/km.

The fleet sector will make a significant contribution to Superb sales, and with BiK starting at just 16%, and more rear legroom than most prestige cars, the Superb’s appeal is obvious.

Alasdair Stewart, Brand Director for ŠKODA UK, commented: “The Superb continues ŠKODA’s tradition of offering a huge amount of space, engineering excellence and great value for money”.

“Since its launch 12 years ago, the Superb has been lauded for its versatility, comfort and equipment. This comprehensive facelift builds on these and we are confident that the excellent improvements to fuel consumption and C02 will appeal to both fleet and private customers”.
