Design & Looks
Skoda has taken the lead on the newest Superb, moving from a Passat‑based copy to a distinct flagship. The exterior sports a sharper front grille, slimmer LED headlights and a more sculpted rear that hints at a premium vibe without the German price tag. Inside, the cabin feels airy thanks to a larger glass area and a simplified layout that puts the infotainment screen at eye level. Soft‑touch materials and optional leather in higher trims give the interior a refined feel, while the boot space remains generous – especially on the estate version.

Performance & Mileage
Buyers can choose from three petrol units, two diesels and a plug‑in hybrid (estate only). The 1.5 L TSI delivers 148 bhp, while the 2.0 L TSI pushes 201 bhp and comes with all‑wheel drive on the Sportline trim. Diesel options mirror the 148 bhp output but offer slightly better fuel economy. The iV plug‑in hybrid combines a 1.5 L TSI with an electric motor for a combined 201 bhp, giving an electric‑only range suitable for short commutes. All models pair with a dual‑clutch automatic gearbox, providing smooth shifts and quick acceleration.

Price & Rivals
Pricing starts just under £37k for the base 1.5 TSI, putting the Superb ahead of many German rivals like the Audi A4 and BMW 3‑Series, which often start above £40k. The estate’s iV hybrid, at £41,575, competes with the Volvo V60 Recharge but offers a lower purchase price and a larger boot. With fewer traditional saloon competitors left – most Japanese and British brands have shifted focus to SUVs – the Superb’s biggest test is convincing buyers to skip an SUV for a practical, spacious sedan or wagon.
