For Range-topping Elegance cars have a tyre-pressure monitoring system, rain-sensing wipers, Bluetooth phone connectivity, heated front seats, electric seats, leather upholstery and sat-nav.

Against Like all Elegance models the 1.8 TSI version is far from cheap. You’ll get less of your money back come trade-in time and turbo petrol is not as fuel efficient as the diesel versions.

4 out of 5 stars

Despite the luxurious equipment level helping give the Superb Elegance a near limousine-like feel, it’s hard to justify the high outlay. Check our Target Price before beginning negotiations.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Skoda’s Superb serves up a super-size portion of practicality and safety.

All versions feature curtain airbags and a driver’s knee airbag, which is why we have given it five stars for safety and why you won’t have to shell out for extra safety features on lower-spec models.

Entry-level S trim provides all a family could reasonably ask for, while SE, SE Plus and Elegance provide yet further equipment.

Running costs for most versions should be favourable, because fuel economy and CO2 figures are competitive, especially for the 1.6-litre diesel models. The Greenline II model unquestionably makes the most sense for company car drivers.

While the 3.6 V6 4x4 is fun to drive, its running costs are high and it isn’t going to be in great demand second-hand. That makes it something of a rarity, for these days Skoda builds cars that are desirable to both new and used buyers, and the Superb proves no exception.
