Skoda Superb Quick Review
With its well-balanced shape and crisp details, the Skoda Superb looks very business-like, something its target clientele will appreciate. The Superb is classy and scores high on quality and functionality on the inside too but the highlight has got to be the exceptional rear seat space. It’s a place to stretch out after a tough day at the office. And you’ll be able to pack in a lot of luggage in the 625-litre boot on weekend getaways too.
The Superb’s 180hp, 1.8-litre turbo-petrol is, well, superb. The engine is refined and gratifyingly quick and is enjoyable with both 6-speed manual and 7-speed dual-clutch auto gearboxes. With 177hp on offer, the 2.0-litre diesel is no slouch either but there is a bit of lag at low speeds and the engine is audible at most times. No complaints for the 6-speed dual-clutch auto, however. Ride comfort on all Superbs is excellent, though the petrols seem marginally more absorbent.

Skoda Superb Variants: Our Choice
You can’t go wrong with either engine option but it’s the petrol that is the more refined, exciting and enjoyable unit. There’s also the matter that the petrol-auto is significantly cheaper than the comparable diesel. If you’ll primarily be chauffeur-driven, going for the petrol-manual could save you big bucks. Self-drive buyers will like all that the range-topping petrol-auto L&K has to offer.
