Skoda Superb review
Skoda's flagship Superb boasts sleek styling, plenty of space and is great value for money

Price
£31,300 to £45,215

The handsome Skoda Superb is a revelation if you’re looking for a large family car with a premium feel and an affordable price tag. We rate it so highly we awarded the Superb our Family Car of the Year title in 2020.

To drive, it’s comfortable, quiet and relaxing whether you’re in the front or the back, and can even be hustled along at a fair pace. It’s easy to live with too, with a hatchback that opens onto an enormous boot. The practical interior has an upmarket feel, and there's a range of efficient and refined engines.

With generous levels of equipment, acres of space and a pleasant driving experience, the Superb is one of our favourite cars on sale and with very good reason.

About the Skoda Superb
The Skoda Superb has been a cornerstone of the Czech manufacturer's range for much of its recent history. Underpinned by Volkswagen’s ubiquitous and effective MQB architecture, the latest model was facelifted in 2019 to bring it up-to-date – and to maintain its lead over the large family saloon (and estate) competition.

The sales figures show that much of the car buying public are more likely to go for an SUV as family transport, but the Superb still holds strong appeal with its space, refinement and great value for money. Rivals such as the Vauxhall Insignia and the closely related Volkswagen Passat are no longer available, although the Mazda 6 is worthy alternative.

The Skoda Superb was the first model from the Czech firm to benefit from the VW Group's MQB front-wheel drive platform. It's one of the largest models to use it, but from behind the wheel the Superb does a great job of hiding its mass.

There are no complaints about legroom - the Audi A8 limo is about the only VW Group model to offer more rear seat space. The boot is very generous, too, with 625 litres on offer in five-seat mode, and 1,760 litres with the rear seats folded. And if that isn't enough space for you, then the Superb Estate is even bigger.

But there's much more to the Skoda Superb than space. It takes Skoda's 'Simply Clever' slogan to heart, with the ubiquitous umbrellas stored in the doors, ice scraper in the filler flap, one-handed bottle-opening cup holders and plenty of storage. Safety kit is comprehensive, too, with all of the latest VW Group tech on offer.

The Superb trim range comprises SE, SE L, SportLine Plus and Laurin & Klement (L&K) trims, and prices range from around £28,000 to £45,000. Entry-level SE models come well-equipped with 17-inch alloys, manual air con, electrically adjustable heated mirrors, cruise control, an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system (with DAB, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity) plus a suite of basic safety kit.

SE L trim takes another step with 18-inch alloys, privacy glass, full LED Matrix headlights, extra safety kit and sat-nav with wi-fi capability, plus a number of other upgrades.

Sportline Plus models focus on improving standard kit while adding a slightly sportier character to the Superb’s styling and interior, while Laurin & Klement models step on the toes of much pricier executive cars thanks to added leather, kit and Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) adaptive suspension.

The Superb’s engine range was changed slightly in 2019. Today, there’s a similar mix of petrol and diesel engines, with the 1.4-litre petrol being replaced by the VW Group’s latest 1.5 TSI unit producing 148bhp. It’s available in SE trim and above with a choice of manual or DSG dual-clutch automatics and is joined by the more powerful 2.0 TSI with 187bhp, available on SE L models and up exclusively with a DSG ‘box. The fastest Superb models also use a 2.0-litre petrol, tuned to 276bhp and mated to a DSG gearbox and four-wheel drive for Audi-like all-weather performance.

For those with one eye on economy, the 1.4 TSI iV plug-in hybrid might well fit the bill. The 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol unit is paired with a 113bhp electric motor, and combined the two systems offer 215bhp.

The 2.0-litre diesel range no longer includes the 120bhp version, leaving the 148bhp and 197bhp variants. Depending on specification these can be paired with manual and DSG ‘boxes, plus four-wheel drive capability on SE L cars.

[mausamsharma]

most premium looking sedan from the VW Group, like it

[housamabd]

So so beautiful even that it is not following the headlines of interior design. It's still 5 years older but I like to see a complete gear box hand and a few buttons for AC so it's classical inside

Шкода молодцы, рапид, Октавия, это машина строгая и изящная

I wouldn’t be unhappy if I had this car. Those headlights wow! Agressive look! Much better looking than VW Passat. I dare also say that it’s better lookkng than the new model even though the new model is looking superb

[barrettpickett]

I loved the dials on the passenger seat to move it. Such a great idea. Loved the big trunk and the great styling in the back. Looked like something refrigerated in the middle console. Did wish it had a glass roof. Very nice car.

Prawdziwa sztuka tworzenia pięknego auta co za precyzja.

[vphuomb]

Отлично. Особенно передняя часть после проведённого фистлифтинга заиграла более свежо и солидно!👍

[DrJarimba]

I have a 2016 model and I see very few changes with the 2023... I love it. If I change I'll probably get a BMW series 7 but I love my Skoda.

[hiddenworldshybins]

a small refrigerated with icecubes needed, tool box(all kind of tools workshop) inside under seat space, air ventilation hole not locked hidden, hot water maker.etc

[steffidas]
