Skoda announced a new Superb back in October and now they are venturing into the world of battery power with the arrival of their first plug-in hybrid called the Superb iV.

I’ve been waiting to say this for a while: I never thought I’d see the day when you’d pay the guts of €55,000 for a Škoda estate. That day is almost upon us. I have just been testing the revised Superb Combi as the estate version is called. The range-topping Laurin & Klement (L&K) model I drove had a €53,400 price tag. Add in delivery and related charges and you’ll have little change out of €55,000.

One of my favourite motors – the Jaguar F-Type sports car – has just benefited from a major overhaul and is due here next May (no prices yet).

Opel’s new Corsa will start from €17,975 as the first models arrive in Ireland. The outgoing five-door started at €17,050 and Opel claims the difference arises from lots more spec – and the advantages and advances that come with a new car.

DISTRIBUTORS here have mixed expectations about meeting the major increase in demand for electric cars next year.
