Skoda Superb 2020 Comes With Blankets (ENG) - Test Drive and Review

YES, IT HAS HEATED MIRROS, BUT I WAS TOO DUMB TO FIND THE SWITCH. I'M USED TO MAZDA'S SOLUTION - HEATED BACK WINDOW+MIRROS, WHEREAS VAG CARS HAVE A SEPARATE SWITCH.

Skoda Superb 2020 received some hand-down tech from Volkswagen. It also has the largest boot in its class. And an umbrella. And some blankets for rear passengers. And an ice-scraper.

Starting price: 28 850 euro
As tested: 52 000 euro

I have a pre-facelift 220PS Superb Combi and after nearly 5 years I am still thrilled with it. On my commute I get between 6 and 7 l/100km depending on traffic. The ride is very good (I have the active suspension option) and it is insanely quiet. I was surprised by Marek's comments. And the massive load capacity for family or cargo is second to none. Also the sound system (I have the Canton option) is absolutely suitable for hi-fi freaks like me. The design is more attractive IMHO than the Passat and it says a lot that its designer was poached by BMW. I am very happy with my Superb especially at the price I paid (imported in parallel from Poland) and would not change. All the best, Rob in Switzerland

That's how all sedans should be built like, with a hatchback trunk! Thank you Skoda for keeping this design.

I can't believe that there is so honest people that review cars. Usually there is fanatics who say that everything is good, that there is no flaws. I like this guy because of his honesty.

I've had my L&K 2L tsi 220 for just over 3 years (10k miles) as at Feb.2020. It is very serene when driving, something which encouraged me to buy it. The car has heated wing mirrors as standard at this level of spec. All round careful driving gives 33 mpg but at 65 mph on longer drives fully loaded this Golf GTi engine can achieve 46mpg. Nowhere near the 70 mpg achieved by my previous Skoda 150bhp 2L Tdi, but hey, who wants a rattly diesel these days?! No rattles, no squeaks, no problems with the Superb. Canton sound system is excellent. Lovely car. Why buy the very pricey Audi A6? In many respects it's the same car. Badge snobbery is expensive.
Very content Superb owner in Scotland.

I have had the 2016 superb se executive, and 2018 sportline

These are brilliant cars

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but this one is just wrong. I had a Passat before my Superb and there is no comparison. The Superb is just better in every way - apart from the badge! I am in the process of buying another car at the moment and I could have had a Passat or Arteon - in the end and after looking at a range of other possibilities, I am going to buy another Skoda Superb. You would have to pay substantially more money to get all the same features as you would on the Superb. The real question then is this - given 3 sets of keys on the table, which set would you take if the money was not an issue? My answer is very easy - take the Superb every time. Why would I do that? Ultimately, in addition to the overwhelming economics of the deal that you get so much more for the same price with a Superb than the other two, there is one other overriding factor - comfort. The so-called posh Nappa leather seats on both the Arteon and the Passat are disappointingly poor if you are a big person. They have metal bracing struts running through them at the edges, whereas the Superb's seats are wider and have no metal bracing. For long journeys, which I do all the time, there is no comparison - the Superb is substantially more comfortable and so much easier on your back side. In the past, it was undoubtedly true that VW effectively prevented Skoda from producing better cars than theirs and Skoda was held in a category below VW. That day is long gone and Skoda go toe-to-toe with VW, despite being part of the same group. They take the best of VW and tweak it to be better still. The 'Simply Clever' description is just so accurate - they do so many things that bit better than VW now (just look at how much better Skoda do cruise control for example). This review is simply incorrect - do not listen to the voices!

Much much better than merc c-class, BMW 3 series or Audi A4 even in lesser price....

I’m on my second Superb exec SEL 2.0 diesel exec 190, it’s a working car and covers around 100k miles annually. I keep them for 3 years and offload to local taxi companies who run them for a few more years.
Sometimes I can physically be in the vehicle for around 15 plus hours a day, in and around London plus a combination of long distance as well. These cars are bullet proof, keep them serviced they will never let you down.
Skoda needs to address the following points on this revamp: the old model’s bi Xeon headlamps have a dip beam cut off which is to low, even if it’s adjusted to its maximum setting by the dealer. The front seat begins to really sag at the 150k mark, the ECG valve acts up if you idle the engine too much in traffic. DSG can snatch at low speed but you learn how to treat it to avoid that.
I know these cars inside out Skoda beats them all on affordability, build quality, reliability. The noise levels can be high but you can reduce that with decent tyres. By the time I move them on they still don’t rattle and drive tightly, that noise on the cobbles is not typical there is a fault with the press car.

the side rests at 4:10 are to help u sleep; not for stopping wobble while driving ...duh

[venkateshrao]

We got the pre facelift Superb Sportline, it has heated wing mirrors as standard, as well as the electric driver seat. I do not find the rear to be wallowy...yes there is a bit more road noise than the Passat. The suspension of our car also dosen't make that wierd sound like the car in video....we are quite happy with our Superb.

[stevefgjojnes]

had a superb for 3 years now and love it so much so getting a new one in May

[Ciolan]

the horns in the back headrests are for sleeping...

[ThinkCleverAndSmart]

It feels like you really doesn’t like the car, giving it a negative review when it doesn’t deserve it. Also missing on key things as heated wing mirrors (are standard obviously!) makes this review sub par.

[philkim]

Skoda made a high quality car! I didn't know they are also in that family sedan market.

[daCorasla]

i don't agree with noise insulation. I have been in a test drive with a bmw 340i and that one let A LOT of road and traffic noise in. we were looking for open windows, that is how bad it was. the superb, on the other hand, was very quiet! not as quiet as an audi a6, but close.

[TomHiel]

This the best and most beautiful Audi money can buy

[akksakku]

So much false negatives about the car, by an anchor who hasn't done his homework at all.
Btw, I'm not a Skoda fan!

[laddiirl]

no big changes from previous model looks very same one I have but no doubt best car at the moment in the market 💖💝👍

[jiridvorak]

I am not skoda fan but this review is too biased... Not the best car ever made but definitively not the worst. For this price reasonable buy

[gordonhamilton]

This reviewer is talking rubbish....ear plugs in the back!! I've got a 2.0tsi one of these 3 years old with 48000 on the clock....its as quiet as a church mouse, suspension is fabulous, has all the performance from 280 horsepower you'd need. Think this guy is a bit of a badge snob.
