In a recent technological evolution, Skoda unveiled the 2020 Superb and the company has upgrade the car with new technologies and an even more exquisite interior. The full LED Matrix headlights and several new assistance systems are making their debut in a production model from the Czech brand. The Superb becomes the first car from the Skoda stable to get the full LED Matrix headlamps. The adaptive, crystalline-effect full LED Matrix headlights bear ‘Skoda Crystal Lighting' lettering in their housings and offer different lighting modes for different driving situations and weather conditions. In addition to the Matrix technology for the high beam, two other assistance systems are also making their debut in the Superb.

To be noted that the latest version of Predictive Cruise Control uses images from the camera on the windscreen and data from the navigation system to detect speed restrictions as well as bends, and automatically adjusts the speed in anticipation. The new Emergency Assist for multi‑lane roads automatically steers the car to the roadside in emergencies, where it brings the car to a stop. It does so in a controlled manner and taking into account traffic in other lanes. To do this, the system uses Lane Assist and Park Assist as well as the radar sensors belonging to Side Assist. Whilst the familiar Blind Spot Detect has a range of up to 20 m, Side Assist works at a distance of up to 70 m. Furthermore, the Superb now also offers Front Assist with Predictive Pedestrian Protection.
