It should be remembered that there was already a magnificent car with the name of Superb, bearing the Skoda badge back in the thirties and forties. Even at that time, the car strengthened the reputation of the long-established Czech company as being among the best car manufacturers in the world. When it was launched in 2001, the first modern Superb represented a new start, a re-entry into a segment of the market that had been neglected throughout the difficult years of the planned, Communist economy. The first of the modern Superbs came, saw and conquered.

The 76th Geneva Motor Show represents a milestone for Skoda in its more than 100 year-old tradition of car manufacturing. The Skoda Roomster takes to the stage and expands the model range of the Czech brand to include a sensational, completely independent fourth model. However, it is not just the expansion of the range which is worthy of note, what really counts is the content. The Roomster occupies its new position in the Skoda family with great self-assurance thanks to exceptional use of space, a uniquely variable VarioFlex seating system, modern engines and generous equipment levels. To prove that the Roomster is a unique package, it has a longer wheelbase than the Octavia, yet its total length is shorter. A turning circle of 10.3 metres makes it ideal for town driving.
