Škoda Superb 1.9 TDI elegance Full Review,Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour

Description

Apologies I missed the official press launch as I was away on holiday seeking some sunshine, but for the record all the initial praise seems to be justified. Certainly the new Skoda Superb is an imposing and striking car, a worthy flagship for the Czech brand. The way new car sales are being hit at the moment it comes at an opportune time for some customers looking for high spec models and at a bad time for budget brand buyers. Unlike other Skoda models, where they have made their mark by having a low price, the new Superb doesn't appear to have any price advantage over say the Passat saloon on which the architecture is loosely based or indeed the market leading Mondeo hatchback. The Superb prices run from £15490 to £26675, mainstream Passat saloon model prices run from £15860 to £27015 and Mondeo hatchbacks from £15695 to £25795. Where the Superb scores is on its interior space, exceptional room for five adult passengers and huge boot and load area space to match. The new Twindoor boot/hatch design is sure to be followed by others, not least of all family members Volkswagen and perhaps even Audi --who knows. The clever Skoda designers and engineers have re-engineered the VW family floorpan and made the car slightly longer than the Passat saloon at 4838mm. This gives improved access and really generous leg and headroom for rear passengers, important in a car of this size. The styling looks upmarket and has a polished luxury image.
