After the global car market was dominated by crossovers and full-featured SUVs, the most practical types of cars today, classic sedans and station wagons began to rapidly lose ground. As a result, automakers are gradually reducing production or abandoning them entirely.

Skoda decided to go a radical route. As he said in his review for the publication otoka Klaus Zellmer, managing director of the once-Czech but legally Volkswagen-owned German car brand, said the Superb model will be discontinued in the future.
The car that many car enthusiasts used to kickstart their entry into the original premium segment (D-segment) will cease production after 25 successful years on the market. Zellmer recalls that over the past quarter century, more than 1.6 million such vehicles were produced in sedan and station wagon bodies.
Zellmer cited the declining popularity of sedans and station wagons as a major reason for the decision, as well as Volkswagen’s overall plan to change its model range.
