2024 Skoda Superb Review: One of the best value cars you can buy

The Skoda Superb has long been one of the most compelling models in its class, in part because it doesn't have many direct rivals. For that thank its combination of space, comfort and value, which are three things the latest 2024 model has in abundance.

In this CarGurus UK review, Chris Knapman tests a 1.5-litre petrol Superb complete with 48-volt mild hybrid system in SE L specification. With prices for the latest Superb starting from around £35,000, we rate this as one of the very best family cars on sale. Would you consider buying one over an equivalently priced SUV?

Would take this over ANY SUV, any day of the Superb!

A quite incredible car, if you want a spacious load carrying family car, this has it all. We regularly travel to south west France to tour and go fishing. Loaded up with all our fishing tackle and baggage.lots of room, 6'6" rod bags fit in easy. Adaptive cruise control on the lovely French motorways. I was so impressed with our first Superb estate in 2016 we got another one 22 plate slightly higher spec. It is an incredible car. Upper 40s to the gallon, totally reliable and a pleasure to drive, from east anglia to south west france on just over one tank of diesel, in spacious comfort, fully loaded. Everything we could want in a car.thank you skoda.

I first sat in a Skoda Superb taxi a couple of years ago going to Belfast from the airport and at a fairly hefty 6'4" it was a pleasure not to have to double myself up to get in and out; cracking car!

I have a 2017 L&K version from new. It now has 405, 000km on it. The best car I have ever owned! I am awaiting my new L&K version DIESEL, in 2 weeks. It's a good, solid, very dependable car. It's all a car should be! My new one will have all the tech, HUD etc, etc.

I have a 2016 Superb 280 Estate L&K with DSG, Dynamic Chassis Control & 4 x 4. Best car I've ever had. Acres of space & pace & it can carry a wardrobe inside or on the roof! What's not to like. Best bought at 2-3 years old for half the price when new.

You can hear it, but that's just noise - best line ever. Next up, you can see it, but that's just light.

the Passat is based on the Skoda as Skoda developed both the superb and the Passat

One of the most under rated cruiser in the market. Forget the sensitive 1.5 or the electrical nonsense. Just get the powerful petrol paired with dcc and will make it a sleeper. However the previous interior looks nicer, to me, if you get it with the traditional dials ( not the electronic one dash) and in light beige color. Looks sort of a classy car, easily mistaken for an expensive brand.

I have driving experience from 1994, today I driving on Supeb 2023 most driving by work activity. My apinion is the best car as I drived before, the adaptive cruise control on the steak is the brilliant idea 😇💪

Good review, thanks.

As a commercial/industrial photographer and dog owner, I've driven estates for over 30 years. I leased a Tiguan cheap, just as VW were shutting down their diesel production lines for the glorious electrification revolution, which seems to have short-circuited somewhat.

Living in the country I have grown to appreciate the ride height visibility, and they are definitely easier to get in and out of as you become an old codger.

As my lease comes around for renewal I have watched several reviews of both the Octavia and the Superb estates and am sorely tempted away from growing SUVs fraternity.

These latest estates do phenomenal fuel consumption, with more carrying capacity and softer ride. I'd still be keen to buy the lovely 2L diesel though - if I could trust our government and/or the EU to apply themselves to clear, intelligent decisions for their voting public.

BTW: It was rather telling at launch, that Skoda announced the new Superb as being available with 2 Diesels, 3 Petrol... and a PHEV. It would seem that the VAG group - along with other manufacturers - are not singing from the prescribed song sheet.

I enjoyed watching the video review, the best Estate Car on sale 😊

Nice car but the basic trim estate with a few option packs including heated steering wheel, rear airbags and matrix headlamps takes it over £40k and into luxury car tax, UK tax rules it out for many as a sensible purchase.

[martinbeacher]

Wonder what the boot dimensions are re. height, width & depth for fitting a crate in for my dog.

[anthonybrown]

As with all cars the increase in price means its a used option only for many, so its likely price at 1, 2& 3 years old is vital information to see if its worth hanging on to depreciate.

[alanrutland]

I have the previous superb - Lauren and klement. I test drove the new version and have to say I did think the interior was worse than the old one. Much cheaper feeling. I don’t know why those 3 intelligent dials are that wobbly but at least Skoda did this and it does work well. Also unsure why the Lauren & Klement now only comes with the 4x4 engine. Odd decision that one. Still the new one was very comfortable- was a base spec - so didnt have the adaptive suspension. For me, just a shame the interior didn’t feel as luxurious as previous model.

[Ytwhna]

Have they reduced the rear legroom to increase the boot space like they did with the Octavia? I’d much rather have the larger legroom.

[Ytwhna]

That screen where the speedo is dire! Just glued on. So strange.

[maciejjirowec]

I think you're talking a bit of rubbish about the quality in the cabin.
It's great quality and I'd take it instead of plasticy garish New Passat any day of the week
Beautiful New Skoda Superb

[Florislaurens]

Today I was at a dealership that sells both Skoda and VW. It occurred to me that it has finally happened: the Superb is a better looking car inside and outside, than it's sibling Passat. There's something very very odd with the Passat, its...a bit incoherent from the outside, not as majestic as the previous version, and it's interior is just average. Whilst the Superb is....well..superb. As is the Kodiaq interior. VW has missed the bus. Or did they miss it deliberately???🤔 Think about

[srenschulian]

In 2024 version, the Superb is no longer bigger than Passat - but still nicer looking.
