New Skoda Superb review: Why YOU need this car!

This is the new Skoda Superb!

It’s the all-new version of Skoda’s big, practical family car, and Mat's going to undertake a vigorous, in-depth review to see if it’s still one of the leading cars in its class.

In terms of the design, the Superb is stylish from the front all the way to the rear. The front end has a smart black grille with a chrome surround, and this is flanked by sharp-edged vents. Along the side alloy wheels range between 17” - 19”, and a crease runs along the car’s length. There’s a huge Skoda badge at the back, and there are no fake vents or exhausts to be found anywhere!

The stylish design continues on the inside, with a large infotainment screen on the centre of the dash as well as a large digital dial display. Eco-friendly materials are used throughout the cabin, although we’re not sure about the strange xylophone-style design on the passenger’s side of the cabin!

When it comes to engines, there are two petrol and two diesel available. The entry-level is a 1.5-litre turbo petrol with 150hp, while there’s also a 2-litre turbo petrol with 265hp. The former only has front-wheel drive, while the 2-litre has all-wheel drive. The two diesels available are 2-litre turbos, and they deliver 150hp or 193hp, depending on which you choose.

The Superb starts from around £35,000, while the car we have here for this review (with options added) costs around £41,000. So is it the must-have family car? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!

It's like Skoda watched his reviews and created a checklist, well done

[everyhandletaken]

Umm excuse me.. did you say physical dials.. AND you can configure their functionality?!

If that isn't the best of both worlds, I don't know what is. Give those designers a raise 👏

"how practical can it be"
Skoda: "yes"

I bought a new Skoda Octavia 1.5 petrol last November and I can only say it is a dream of a car. Super stable, comfortable, easy to drive and manage. I can only imagine Superb is even better. Skoda is doing some amazing work in the last decade

We live in a timeline where Skoda has a prettier lineup than Audi and BMW.

[yoinks]

1 minute in and i already want this car, a built in ice scraper, umbrella, bottle grippers, configurable and physical dials, boot wedges and bag hammock???? Yes fucking please!

[jacobbest]

I must say Skoda is better than Volkswagen at the moment. Good old Skoda!

[EthelJung-jw]

Damn.. I never thought dedicated nobs for volume functions and climate controls would be one of the things that become one of my biggest highlights about a car.

[ThunderGoatz]

It’s ridiculous VW and Audi are moving towards wholly less usable interiors and yet, here is a Skoda. Oozes usability.

[Manoah.]

Skoda is by far the most practical brand atm

[IvanRiveraStagea]

I missed these sensible reviews. We've been getting too many drag race videos.

[Argiers]

I suppose we should be celebrating a good large hatchback that isn't an SUV!

[zvonimirkljajic]

I need the car for towing 2.2 tonnes - 5000lbs

Europeans: 1.5 TSI can do it

Americans: I need a F150 v8

[Fasteddiebreakshearts]

🛑 I swear I thought this was a 5 Series BMW in the beginning of the video …BMW Skoda 😂

[minibus]

This car literally has everything you want for a commuter.

[sayan]

As a mechanic, I tried to search for explanations why I don't have Skoda customers with as much as faults as VW cars, even though they all have the same engines, same gearbox, brakes, electronics, everything... but still 90% of my Skoda customers come only for normal yearly maintenance

[jayfaz]

Only 2 minutes in and this car seems lovely! Crazy to not see these features normally

[v_wibowo]

Doug DeMuro would've been crazy with the copious amounts of quirks and features this cars have

[Ukiegaming]

Watching the video and thinking. Wow this looks better then any WV. Reading the comments and everyone said it's better than Audi and BMW - wow well done Skoda, wish we had them in US!

[GarryMcGovern]

Uhhh, instead of being 'better off in an SUV', may I suggest the actual far superior Estate version of the Superb???
