In 2001, Škoda Auto presented the Montreux concept car at the Geneva International Motor Show,{{cite web | url=https://www.idnes.cz/auto/zpravodajstvi/skodovka-predstavila-studii-limuziny-montreux.A010227_132842_automoto_sid | title=Škodovka představila studii limuzíny Montreux | date=27 February 2001 }} with the production version being released the same year as the Superb.

The first generation of the modern Škoda Superb was based on the 1999 Shanghai–Volkswagen Passat B5 LWB, which has a {{convert|10|cm|1|abbr=on}} longer wheelbase than the standard Passat B5 and used the Volkswagen Group B5 PL45+ platform. In 2005, Shanghai-Volkswagen imported the Superb, rebadging it as the Volkswagen Passat Lingyu.{{cite web|title=帕萨特到领驭 追溯PASSAT六年改变历程|url=http://auto.sohu.com/20060324/n242451768.shtml|work=搜狐汽车|access-date=24 May 2013|language=zh|date=24 March 2006}}

In 2009, one year after the B5 generation had been discontinued in Europe, the facelifted Volkswagen Passat Lingyu was unveiled in China.{{cite web|script-title=zh:帕萨特新领驭成都解密|url=http://auto.sohu.com/20090422/n263554765.shtml|work=搜狐汽车|access-date=24 May 2013|language=zh|date=22 April 2009}} In 2011, the Volkswagen Passat Lingyu was discontinued, succeeded by the Passat NMS.

Several petrol and diesel internal combustion engines are shared with the rest of the Volkswagen Group range; and like the B5 Passat and B6/B7 Audi A4 which use the same automobile platform, they are mounted at the front, and orientated longitudinally.

The base model, the 'Classic', included the 1.9 litre inline four cylinder (I4) Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) turbodiesel producing {{convert|74|kW|PS bhp|0|lk=on}}, or a 2.0 litre petrol inline four rated at {{convert|85|kW|PS bhp|0|abbr=on}}. The 'Comfort' and 'Elegance' models offered with a 1.8 twenty valve Turbo petrol I4 rated at {{convert|119|kW|PS bhp|0|abbr=on}}, or either a {{convert|142|kW|PS bhp|0|abbr=on}} V6 2.8 litre petrol engine, or a 2.5 litre V6 TDI rated at {{convert|120|kW|PS bhp|0|abbr=on}}.

Transmissions included a five speed or a six speed manual gearbox, or a ZF sourced five speed tiptronic automatic. In addition to the 1.9 litre "Pumpe Düse" (PD) Unit Injector engine, the Superb eventually gained the {{convert|103|kW|PS bhp|0|abbr=on}} 2.0 litre TDI PD (BSS). This was an 8V single camshaft engine based on the 1.9 litre TDI that was unique to the Superb with two main differences over the 1.9 litre TDI. The BSS engine shared the same twin balance shaft oil pump used in the 16V twin camshaft 2.0 litre TDI PD engine that can be found in various Audi models. It also featured a wet DPF that used fluid contained in a tank under the spare wheel to generate heat for regeneration. This was used over a standard dry DPF due to space limitations in the engine bay.

The Superb received a minor facelift in August 2006{{cite web |title=2007 Škoda Superb minor facelift|url= http://www.worldcarfans.com/rsslink.cfm/article/2060726.005/skoda/2007-skoda-superb-minor-facelift|author=WorldCarFans.com|date=2006-06-26|access-date=2007-07-19}} incorporating Škoda's new radiator grille, headlights, side repeater indicators integrated into the door mirrors, and C-shaped tail lights in the style of Škoda Roomster and second-gen Škoda Octavia.

An interior redesign completed the upgrades. A 'Laurin and Klement' model became the top of the range, replacing the 'Elegance' model. A range of new engines was introduced and the interior featured real wood as part of some trim levels. The 'Comfort', 'Elegance' and 'Laurin & Klement' models feature an umbrella stowed in the rear door panel. It was also the first Škoda to be available with an optional CD navigation system called the DX, with that option you automatically got the more powerful Sound System with 8 speakers, DSP amplifier, more DSP effects in the audio settings such as Sound Focus, Genre based EQ, more advanced speed-sensitive volume control and a 6-CD changer.{{Cite web |title=User manual Skoda Superb DX (English - 66 pages) |url=https://www.manua.ls/skoda/superb-dx/manual |access-date=2025-01-12 |website=www.manua.ls}}https://autocatalogarchive.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Skoda-Superb-Sedan-2004-UK.pdf

Škoda considered a station wagon version of the Superb. However, it was never put in production, the reason being Volkswagen feared that such a version would take too much market share from its own Passat Variant and Audi's A4 Avant. When the Superb was released in the United Kingdom in May 2002, the most expensive variant was priced at only £1,000 more than the cheapest Jaguar X-Type.

An all new Škoda Superb (B6, Typ 3T) was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in early March 2008.{{cite web |url=http://www.autoweb.cz/ekonom-novy-superb-bude-v-breznu-2008/articles.html?id=10975|title=Ekonom: Nový Superb bude v březnu 2008|author=AutoWeb.cz, ČTK |access-date=2007-07-19 |date=2007-06-07}}

Based on a stretched version of the latest A5 Octavia platform, the Volkswagen Group A6 PQ46, this Superb is a four door five seat sedan, with an innovative "TwinDoor" trunk lid that can operate as a conventional trunk or as a hatchback that includes opening with the rear glass.

Being based on the Octavia A5 platform, this Superb now uses a transverse engine layout. A Superb Combi – five door estate with 633 litres in the boot – was presented to the press in June 2009, and debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2009.

When launched, petrol engine options included four Volkswagen Group sourced units; consisting of an entry-level 92 kilowatts (125 PS; 123 hp) 1.4 litre inline four cylinder (I4) TFSI (with a turbocharger and Fuel Stratified Injection), and a {{Convert|118|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} 1.8 litre I4 TFSI. The flagship 3.6 litre {{Convert|191|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} FSI VR6 engine (a detuned version of that fitted in the Passat R36) comes with four-wheel drive and six speed Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG). The Škoda Superb 3.6 FSI 4x4 has a top speed 250 km/h and acceleration of 0–100 km/h in 6.5 seconds.

Diesel engine options included 2.0 litre I4 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) with Pumpe-Düse injection which was rated at {{Convert|103|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}}, 2.0 litre I4 TDI {{Convert|125|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} with common rail, and a {{Convert|77|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} 1.9 litre I4 TDI available also for the Greenline version with reduced fuel consumption.

In 2010, the engine range was updated. The car was now available with a {{Convert|147|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} 2.0 litre TFSI petrol four cylinder. Changes in diesel offer included two switches: {{Convert|103|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} two litre with Pumpe-Düse injection was replaced with common rail engine; the {{Convert|77|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} 1.9 litre PD unit was replaced with 1.6 litre common rail engine of the same power.

Transmissions include five and six speed manual gearboxes, and the popular automatic Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) with either six or seven speeds, as an option on almost all engine/trim combinations. In addition to the standard front-wheel-drive, the Superb and Superb Combi were both available with all-wheel-drive with a fourth generation Haldex clutch. The wheel sizes were a choice of 16, 17 and 18-inches.

Trim levels available in the majority of Europe were named the 'Comfort', 'Ambition', 'Elegance', 'Greenline', 'Exclusive' and 'Laurin & Klement' (May 2012) – with Laurin & Klement being top of the range. In the United Kingdom, the levels available were 'S', 'SE', 'Elegance', 'Laurin & Klement' and 'Greenline'. In Sweden, an important market for Škoda, a version of the four-wheel-drive Superb Combi with off-road pretensions went on sale in June 2012.{{cite web | title = Škoda Superb AllDrive – en ännu bättre Superb | trans-title = Škoda Superb AllDrive - an even better Superb | language = sv | url = http://www.mynewsdesk.com/se/skoda_auto_sverige_ab/pressreleases/skoda-superb-alldrive-en-aennu-baettre-superb-769613 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20181007031857/http://www.mynewsdesk.com/se/skoda_auto_sverige_ab/pressreleases/skoda-superb-alldrive-en-aennu-baettre-superb-769613 | publisher = Škoda Auto Sverige AB | first = Stefan | last = Nygren | archive-date = 2018-10-07 | date = 2012-06-07 }} Analogous to the Subaru Outback and Volvo XC70 it was called the "AllDrive."

In April 2013, Škoda unveiled a facelifted Superb in Shanghai. It was released for sale in the European market in June 2013. Updated exterior design features Škoda new design language elements. Headlights are fitted with integrated LED daylight running lights; diodes are standard for tail lights, too. The Twindoor opening mechanism was changed in order to provide easier operation: one button opens just the lid, while the other opens whole tailgate.

Up to now, one button was dedicated just for opening, while the other had shifting function. With the facelift, a combination of all wheel drive and DSG automatic transmission appeared on offer for the 125 kW two litre diesel engine. Starting from January 2014, design Outdoor package is available for the Superb Combi.

The list of features was slightly expanded too. The facelifted Superb received the latest generation of Automatic Parking Assistant. In addition to parallel parking (entering/exiting the parking space), the system is also capable of perpendicular parking (entering the parking space only).{{Cite web|url=https://www.carmanualsonline.info/skoda-superb-2014-2-g-b6-3t-owner-s-manual/16#156|title=ŠKODA SUPERB 2014 2.G / (B6/3T) Owner's Manual|website=www.carmanualsonline.info|access-date=2017-03-19}}

From now on, the passengers in the rear seats can adjust the passenger seat from the back. The electrical control is located on the side of the passenger seat near the centre console and is thus easy to operate from the back. Passengers in the rear can move the front seat forward and back and adjust the seat height and angle.
