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.

4 out of 5 stars

Executive car space for passengers and quality at family-car prices. It's no beauty, though.

Superb Our pick

Skoda Superb Hatchback 1.4 TSI S 5dr

This model displays all the virtues of the Superb range offering plenty of space, practicality and equipment. It’s keenly priced and cheap to run, but the 1.4-litre engine may not be strong enough for everyone.

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.
