Posted on 02/26/2009 under: Sedans/Saloons, Skoda

Škoda has announced a strong performance for its new Superb model in January. With sales performing at 107% of target the Czech manufacturer is bullish about the future for the model. It has increased its fleet sales forecast for the model by over 40% to 2,000 vehicles this year.

Commenting on the result Martin Burke, Head of Fleet Sales at Škoda said: “We are very encouraged by the response to the Superb from fleet operators. With strong predicted residual values contributing to excellent wholelife costs it is clear the Superb is the right product for this market. Our customers are seeing the value with the top spec Elegance model accounting for 50.2% of all Superbs sold.”

The Superb is fast becoming the choice of operators and users looking for luxury at a reasonable cost. With the recent launch of the GreenLine edition, Škoda expects its market share to continue to expand.

Until the end of March 2009, the Superb GreenLine is available to fleet customers for just £220 a month for a three year period or 10,000 miles per annum. The GreenLine offers exceptional fuel efficiency, up to 67.3mpg on extra urban, helping businesses keep cost down in ever tightening market conditions.

Unlike other competitor rentals, all models in the range (excluding GreenLine) include metallic paint – allowing fleet customers to get more car for their money.
