Click above for high-resolution gallery of the Škoda Superb GreenLine Škoda, a European division of Volkswagen’s auto empire, believes that big cars can be green too, and to prove it, the automaker has finally officially launched the Superb GreenLine that we first saw last year at the Geneva Motor Show in the U.K. Like the Passat that it’s based on, Škoda fits a turbodiesel engine that displaces 1.9 liters and offers up 105 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. More importantly, the GreenLine sedan manages to register 46 U.S. mpg (5.1 l / 100 km) in the combined cycle with carbon dioxide emissions of 136 g/km. Besides the miserly engine, those mileage and emissions figures are spurred on by a revised aero-friendly fascia, lowered ride height, revised gearing and low rolling resistance tires. Besides the green bits, the Superb GreenLine also offers a Park Assist system that is designed to make parallel parking an easier affair along with a “Twindoor” trunk (or boot, if you prefer) that can operate either as a normal trunk or as a hatchback.
