For Innovative boot/hatch arrangement, cavernous cabin and executive build quality, but all for family-car money.

Against The looks are questionable, and the car is almost too big.

Skoda Superb Hatchback
44 5stars

With the Skoda Superb you get executive car space for passengers and quality at family-car prices. It's no beauty, though.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

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

Entry-level S trim provides all a family could reasonably ask for, while SE, SE Plus, Elegance and Laurin & Klement trims 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, it’s very expensive, 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.
