Brake energy recuperation
What happens when energy is recovered? Kinetic energy is transformed into usable electricity, which is stored in the battery or used in electric systems. During engine braking, the alternator supplies the electricity to appliances and recharges the battery. This saves on the fuel that would otherwise be used for these tasks.
Start-Stop system
Save money in the right time
The idea of the Start-Stop system is to
switch the engine off every time there is no need for it to be running, a particularly practical feature in an
urban environment, where it cuts down significantly on fuel consumption. The Start-Stop system is
activated automatically after the engine is started and can be manually switched off at any time.
*Deactivation of Stop-Start function will not occur in certain conditions.
Eco Mode (Driving Mode Selection)
One of the modes offered by the Driving Mode Selection system is
Eco – a mode for environmentally conscious drivers who make economical driving a priority. A specific feature of the Eco mode is
coasting mode - used when you are driving without your foot on the accelerator.
Active Air Blades reduce aerodynamic resistance and therefore cut down on the new Superb‘s consumption and emissions. If the engine or the air conditioning is not working at full blast, the vents close and the stream of air hugs the vehicle body, resulting in lower losses. Active Air Blades also help to heat up the engine faster from a cold start.
