For In many ways, this is the best engine in the range. Running costs are low, and it's by far the smoothest and quietest of the diesel engines. SE trim provides parking sensors – handy in a massive car such as the Superb.

Against There's one big problem with this engine – it's pricey to buy. SE trim costs a lot more than the already well-specced base-level S trim, too.

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

A very pleasant car to live with, with a great engine and lots of creature comforts. Doesn't come particularly cheap, though, so make sure you're prepared to pay for the privilege.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The Skoda badge is a symbol of value, and the Skoda Superb Estate is no exception. It provides Mondeo Estate space for Mazda 6 Estate money. It's not just the boot that's massive, either – the cabin also has more space than most will need.

We'd avoid any versions involving the DSG twin-clutch semi-automatic gearbox or four-wheel drive – both are nice to have, but add unnecessarily to your outlay. There are valid arguments for both the S and SE trims, but we can't see much point in choosing the expensive Elegance.

As for engines, we'd go for one of the diesels. The 138bhp 2.0 TDI is a good balance of price and performance, but the 103bhp 1.6 TDI Greenline II unquestionably makes the most sense for company car drivers, and still feels perky enough.
