Superb? More like legendary. Our 12,000-mile test of Skoda's biggest estate
Of the handful of five-star road test verdicts awarded by Autocar in recent years, none surprised me as much as that for the latest Skoda Superb Estate. The thing is, I'm not really sure why.
Of course, our testers evaluate cars on a fitness-for-purpose basis, on which this big wagon has always scored highly, offering tremendous value for money, pleasant enough driving, reasonable comfort and more luggage space than your local Big Yellow Self Storage facility, but a big, diesel-engined Skoda estate still seemed like an unlikely entry into the rarefied air of 'brilliant, unsurpassed; all but flawless'.
Well, I suppose the brilliance of a car such as the Superb Estate only really shines through when you use it every day for everything life and work might throw at you – and so that's exactly what I'm going to be doing for the next few months.
This Superb is classed as a new model generation (the fourth), although its underpinnings – the Volkswagen Group MQB platform – and powertrains remain familiar. The key point is that it was developed alongside the new VW Passat but with Skoda rather than Volkswagen taking the development lead, which explains why the few compromises that previously affected the Superb have been overcome this time around.
Speccing our car was easy: I'll have it in the exact five-star form from the road test, please. Estate body, 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel engine and mid-range SE L trim. The only real variety comes from the options list: Graphite Grey metallic paint rather than Ice Tea Yellow, an 18in spacesaver spare wheel (because potholes) and an electric towbar, just in case I suddenly get bored of writing and decide to open a burger van.
As such, this car costs £41,675. Skoda is definitively no longer a budget brand, but given the Superb's size, that still represents tremendous value for money to me. Being absolutely honest, had I been speccing a Superb for myself, I would have been reluctant to select the diesel.
But while diesels are in seemingly inexorable decline, they remain a terrific option for a certain use case. Which perhaps explains why there seems to be something of a mini-renaissance of firms offering diesels, particularly within the Volkswagen Group.
There's even a mini-renaissance of diesels on our fleet: magazine editor Rachel Burgess recently took delivery of an Audi A3 Sportback (Autocar, 31 December 2024) powered by the same 148bhp engine as this Superb.
The two are similarly priced, too: it will be interesting to see if the Audi hatchback's premium sheen or the Skoda estate's practicality wins out. In terms of ensuring the Superb gets seen in an ideal light, I have several long journeys lined up and a conga line of colleagues with large items to move forming behind me.
And that should be a treat: during road testing, the Superb managed 765 miles on a single tank of fuel, the sort of number that's
incomprehensible to someone who has been running electric cars in recent years. This is actually a car for that person who claims they can't buy an EV just in case they need to drive from Inverness to Truro without stopping. When said apocryphal driver does reach Truro, they will also be able to buy all the Cornish pasties.
This estate's boot capacity is a whopping 690 litres even before you fold down the rear seats, and the boxy shape makes it really practical to use. How big is 690 litres in reality?
Let me give you an example. The Superb arrived with me shortly before Christmas, so one of my first journeys in it was to visit family in the West Country for the holidays (yes, there was some Chris Rea...).
When I loaded up the car for the trip, my bags of presents didn't even fill half the boot. What I had thought was a festive bounty suddenly made me feel like Scrooge McDuck.
At least I was a comfortable miser: on initial acquaintance, the interior of the Superb is glorious. It being a traditional estate, the driving position is nice and low, and while the infotainment touchscreen is big (13in) it's well placed and nicely complemented by physical switchgear. In particular, I m a big fan of the multitunctional
Smart Dials, which control various infotainment and heating controls. Undoubtedly, the Superb is a large, long car. When parked, the rear of the boot probably sits in a separate postcode from the bonnet.
But it's still relatively narrow and is proving surprisingly easy to navigate. I can even fit it snugly into the ridiculously small parking spaces outside my 1960s house. My initial impressions are good, then, but that isn't really a surprise: this is a five-star car, after all.
Hopefully I won't find any hidden gremlins in the coming months that will give me pause to reconsider that verdict. Update 2
Our diesel-engined Skoda Superb Estate has done a good job convincing me that I'm well suited to driving electric cars.
Counterintuitive as this sounds, I mean that as a compliment. While diesels are not exactly in vogue, they still have a real use case in the right circumstances.
I've had to make a number of long trips away from my south-west London home in recent weeks, and it's notable how much the fuel economy improves once the engine has warmed up and I escape the capital's congested roads.
On an A-road or motorway, the Superb is so pleasurable to drive, relaxed and effortless. And over a long trip, that fuel economy will just keep on getting better. I'm averaging 52.5mpg so far, but at a relaxed cruise I've regularly seen well over 65mpg on the gauge.
Combine that with a massive fuel tank and the real-world range is easily eclipsing 760 miles without any real effort. It means I've been making several three-plus-hour trips covering several hundred miles in a car that has absolutely no need to stop.
Which is a big adjustment from running a number of EVs recently, wherein such trips tend to require at least one quick charging stop for confidence. A refreshing change, then? Well, the catch is that I often still need to stop, even if the Superb doesn't. It might be for the toilet, because I'm thirsty, or I need to stretch my legs, or I've just remembered yet another bit of overdue copy I need to file.
So I find myself sheepishly stopping while the Superb quietly gives off 'we've only done 200 miles; I was just getting warmed up' vibes. It's a bit humiliating to realise that I'm now the weak link.
Oddly, I've also become as obsessed with range as I would in an EV. Clearly, with the ability to do 760 miles, I don't need to maximise the Superb's efficiency. But I've taken my quest to squeeze the most out of a battery and applied it to this diesel.
I'm using all those EV ef ciency tips to eke out every drop of fuel. As I write, I'm 510 miles into a tank, and the indicated range suggests I've got 305 miles left. Is a ridiculous 800 miles from a single tank on? Let's find out. Update 3
I'm running a Skoda on the Autocar fleet, and that apparently means I'm contractually obliged to discuss its Simply Clever features. You know what I'm on about: those not-so-secret features designed to make life easier.
Umbrellas in doors, ice scraper in the fuel cap, parking ticket clip on the windscreen etc. The ice scraper has helped me on a cold morning, I've clipped things to the windscreen and the umbrellas have saved me from getting wet.
Although my most notable discovery is that the new Volkswagen Passat is so closely related to the Superb (development of the two was led by Skoda) that it also gets them. Is that a first for a Volkswagen? I think it might be.
In summary, then: Simply Clever features are present and correct here and as simple and clever as ever. But most Skoda fans probably know that already. So that's mostly all I have to say about them.
Besides, it's other elements of the Superb that I've come to marvel at for simplicity and cleverness. So let's talk Skoda's Smart Dials. Yes, strap yourself in for a thriller. These three dials are at the bottom of the dashboard, and each controls a range of heating, comfort and infotainment features. They're cleverly multifunctional: pressing a dial changes what it controls.
The dials on the le and right cycle through controls for the cabin temperature and the seat heating and cooling for their respective sides of the car (if you hold down the driver-side dial when on the heating mode, it syncs the vent temperatures). The central dial can be programmed for up to four functions, including the direction of the air vents, infotainment volume, driving modes and map zoom.
Each dial contains a little digital display showing you what operation is selected at that moment. And, frankly, they're brilliant. They're clear, easy to find when you're driving and pleasingly tactile: they've got a nice feel and click neatly when you turn them.
Best of all, in an era when physical controls are under threat as more and more functions are operated via touchscreens, the Smart Dials feel like a really neat solution.
One reason car designers have cited for putting controls on touchscreens is that modern cars now have hundreds more functions than they used to, and if each of those functions had a physical control, they would end up with a dashboard so full of buttons and dials that it would look like a plane cockpit.
Frankly, I would be all for that, but I can understand the argument against. Then again, that argument is rendered somewhat moot by the use of physical multifunction controls. Here are physical controls that combine to control up to 10 separate functions in a way that's really easy and intuitive.
There's no second guessing about which sub-menu you need and none of the uncertainty that comes from not knowing if you've actually pressed the right bit of the screen. The Smart Dials are a usability delight, and truly simply clever. Sadly for me, this could be the last time for a while I get to wax lyrical about such features, because I'm about to wave goodbye to the Superb.
It's not actually leaving the Autocar fleet yet, but since we're running it because our road testers bestowed an ultra-rare five-star verdict upon it, they've insisted that they should be treated to the keys for a few months.
Given the mileages they rack up, frankly they will get more use out of the Superb's amazing long-haul capabilities than I will, so I've very reluctantly agreed to hand the car over. And I will be intrigued to see what more they learn about it. One con dent prediction, though: they will love the Smart Dials. Update 4
We don't give five-star road test verdicts often at Autocar. Indeed, 2024 qualified as an unusually fertile year with just three – for the Porsche 911 S/T, Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI Estate.
As the road tester who wrote the Superb verdict, I was looking forward to spending more time with the big Skoda. At the same time, there was a bit of uncertainty nagging at me: it's just a collection of Volkswagen MQB bits, so is it really that good?
Happily, any doubt melted away as soon as I picked up this car. The Superb isn't exceptional because it brings you driving ecstasy on a special road. Instead it does the ordinary so well, and in a world where most modern cars make you adapt to their quirks and learn to live with poorly integrated systems, this one is just so instantly relaxing.
The seats and driving position are great. The response of the controls and the gearbox are just so. The whole user interface is clear and just works, the useful ADAS functions do what they're supposed to and the mandatory annoying ones are a cinch to turn off.
Even on passive dampers it rides well, and not to the detriment of handling: the steering is great and the whole car rotates quite nicely into bends. If you behave, this diesel will even do 60mpg on a run.
It's one of very few cars where my 'reviewer brain' can switch off and I just enjoy the drive. My time with it has been perfectly timed with my house move. I let a removals firm do the heavy lifting, but the Superb came in very handy for runs back and forth to sign paperwork and to ferry smaller items from Kent to Oxfordshire. At an average of 53mpg,
I could do several of those 230-mile round trips on the same 66-litre tank. There's not much more to it than 'big, practical car is big and practical'. I'm not usually a fan of electric tailgates, because it's quicker to open one manually, but here I was thankful for hands-free operation when loading the boot with boxes.
The only annoyance is that this car doesn't have a variable-height boot floor, so there's a step when you fold the rear seats. That unticked option box aside, I'm rather enjoying life with the Superb. I'm starting to see more of them on the road, too. It seems people are cottoning on to how good it is. A five-star car? I'd still say so.
Illya Verpraet Update 5
Having somehow spent no time at all in the current-generation Superb, I've just put 1720 miles on our long-termer in a week. How did that happen? I'd initially planned to get the Eurostar to Paris to interview Renault Group CTO Philippe Krief, but then Aston told us it would be launching the Vantage Roadster in Salzburg later that same week.
The clear play, then, was to link the jobs by road: car beats train beats plane. I scanned the Autocar fleet for an accomplice. Prise the Bentayga from Rachel? Tempting. But the V8's fuel economy might put the publisher out of business. Steve's Wrangler? Similar story, only with ride quality as rough as a bear's backside.
I thought Kris's BMW 120 M Sport might be interesting, because these premium hatchbacks are now so grown-up that they've got decent touring chops. But then I remembered our 2.0 TDI Superb Estate, which put the matter to bed. A couple of months ago I drove the new Merc E450d Estate to the Alps.
The German is a colossus – in performance, price and capability. It also costs £90k if you get the spec you want, which is more than twice the price of our Superb SE L a er options. But is the Mercedes double the car? Objectively no, of course not. The Superb has the same number of seats and a bigger boot, will slickly run Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and wins a clear victory in efficiency.
Where the E450d, with its 369lb six-pot turbo diesel, will return 45mpg at a 75mph cruise, the four-pot Skoda does 55mpg at 85mph. With a 66-litre tank, that's 798 unbroken miles in just over nine hours, versus 697 miles in the Merc, with a little longer in the hot seat.
The Superb crunches big distances. This latest one has decent chairs, too, plus generous adjustability in the steering column, so it really is comfortable. I'd also say the Skoda has an easier cabin to rub along with.
It is not lavish, but the E-Class has an awful lot of digital real estate, which I've never liked, especially at night. The Skoda settles well on the motorway too, helped by its wheelbase and the lack of a need to be 'sporty'. All that being said, money-no-object I'd take the Merc in a heartbeat. It's one of the great tool cars of this era. But if money mattered, I'd feel pretty pleased with myself if I had a Superb.
Richard Lane Final update
The Superb had been away from me for a while, getting passed around the team for all to experience its brilliance. It did a long stint with photographer Jack Harrison, munching some serious miles driving all around the country at an average of 54.7mpg (that's a brim-to-brim calculation, although the digital readout is dead accurate).
He managed to get 868 miles out of a tank on one occasion, which is brave on his part and impressive on the car's. He reports that there's very little about it that he doesn't like, it swallows his gear with ease and it's great for doing car-to-car photography, because the boot is big and the ride is soft. It's also worth mentioning that everyone, short or tall, seems to get on with the seats.]
Anyway, I needed it back recently so I could drive to Belgium to see my parents and pick up a big mirror, some artwork and other odds and ends. Not exactly a challenge for the Superb, but somehow it turned out to be slightly fraught. When I picked up the car from our office, I immediately thought: 'Am I going mad, or is the ride significantly worse and the engine noisier than I remember?' It occurred to me that I had better check the tyre pressures and engine oil when I got home.
Indeed, someone had set the pressures to 3.0 bar all round when they're supposed to be 2.5 bar and the oil was down at the bottom of the dipstick (it has an actual dipstick – praise be!).
Good news for my sanity and legitimacy as a car tester, less so for the car. I decided to leave the pressures for a while to see if this would make a difference to the fuel economy, but topping up the oil was more urgent – and surprisingly difficult.
A sticker in the engine bay informs you that it wants Volkswagen-approved 0W-20 oil but, even though this EA288 2.0-litre diesel engine is a very common unit, such oil doesn't appear to exist. First I tried a big petrol station – nothing. Then I called in to a VW and Skoda dealer on my way to the Eurotunnel – 'sorry, we're out'. At this point, I was running late for my train, so I pressed on.
By the time I got there, a warning came on the screen that I should top up the oil. I then tried the first fuel station out of Calais. Again, every type of oil under the sun bar this one. At this point, I gave up and bought a bottle of VW-spec 0W-30, since I reckoned it was close enough and better than carrying on with insufficient oil.
In the manual, it says that the engine may consume up to 0.5 litres per 600 miles and a bit more in the first 3000 miles. That's fair enough, but you would expect it to come with a top-up bottle in the boot, especially when the oil you need can be hard find.
I also note that its first service is due at two years or 20,000 miles, which seems awfully long to me. It's been shown time and again that these long intervals are just a way to reduce the running costs for fleet managers and people who keep a car only a few years. If you intend to keep it longer, you would be wise to do it at least every year instead and cut the mileage interval in half.
I arrived in Belgium with no further incident and with the trip computer showing 62.6mpg. For the way back, I returned the tyre pressures to the correct 2.5 bar, which made no difference to the fuel consumption that I could make out but did take the sting out of the ride. And so our time with the Superb comes to an end. In my job as a road tester, test cars come and go all the time.
With most of them, I'm glad to have had the experience and don't look back, but with this one I'm sad that it's departing. It's not the most exciting thing in the world, but it is just so good, so useful, so complete. It does almost everything so effortlessly.
Of course there were a few minor niggles. Towards the end, it developed a glitch where the volume control would stop working if you switched between Apple CarPlay and the native so ware a few times. Switching to the radio and back to CarPlay would reset it.
I don't love how you have to twist the gear selector and I wish the car had standard cruise control and a more intelligent auto hold system. But that's all extremely minor stuff. Overall it has been brilliant.
I won't repeat the five-star road test verdict here, because it still applies, but in short, it's not just that this car is big, practical and fuel ef cient, it's that it also feels luxurious inside, rides well, has a minimal number of annoyances and, when you point it at a corner, actually handles well too.
When a major car maker stops for a moment trying to be desperately trendy with too many flashing lights, cartoon characters dancing across enormous screens and 'sporty' suspension for the sake of it, it sometimes results in a really good, fit-for-purpose car. The Superb is that car. Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI Estate SEL specification

Vauxhall owner risks exclusion from Labour electric car scheme
The owner of Vauxhall risks being excluded from Labour's electric vehicle (EV) grant scheme over its reliance on Polish factories. Stellantis, which owns brands including Peugeot, Citroën and Fiat, is among several car manufacturers scrambling to demonstrate their eco-credentials in a bid to qualify for new government subsidies. But it is understood some of the company's cars may miss out on £3,750 grants offered by ministers because they are made in Poland and risk falling foul of net zero rules. Under the scheme, vehicles put forward by manufacturers will be scored based on how green their production processes are. Those with the highest scores risk being excluded or only receiving a smaller payment of £1,500. Carmakers must also prove they are signed up to 'science-based targets' to cut their carbon emissions, in line with net zero targets. Ministers have already warned that Chinese-made cars are likely to be blocked from receiving grants for these reasons. China is the world's biggest carbon dioxide emitter, largely because of its huge consumption of coal for power generation. But car industry insiders have warned the scheme's rules may also create a headache for Western manufacturers with operations in Poland because of the European country's similarly high dependence on coal. Like China, roughly 60pc of Poland's electricity is generated by burning the fuel. Both countries generate about 7.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide per capita overall, according to the International Energy Agency. The Government's grant scheme will assess carmakers on where they assemble EVs as well as where their EV batteries are produced. A 30pc weighting will be given to the former and a 70pc weighting to the latter, according to a briefing seen by The Telegraph. It means some carmakers – including Stellantis – may be penalised for their dependence on Poland, which has attracted huge investment from the car industry and is also Europe's biggest supplier of batteries. Electric models made by Stellantis at its plant in Tychy, in southern Poland, include the Jeep Avenger, Fiat 600e, Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica and the Abarth 600e. Until earlier this year, the company also made the Leapmotor T03 there through a joint venture. It is not clear where Stellantis sources batteries for the cars made in Tychy but in addition to using its own battery joint venture in France, the company is understood to rely on a supplier based in China as well. Several other major car companies also rely on China for supplies, as well as on an LG Energy Solutions plant based in Wrocław, Poland, which is Europe's biggest battery factory. Ginny Buckley, chief executive of an electric car advice service, said: 'Poland may be Europe's EV battery powerhouse – second only to China globally – but its coal-heavy energy mix could mean its batteries will be excluded from the new electric car grants, as under the Government's strict environmental criteria only EVs with low-carbon supply chains qualify. 'It's a move that risks punishing carmakers working to establish European supply chains and limiting consumer choice.' Uncertainty about whether certain cars will qualify for Britain's EV grant scheme has prompted complaints from car industry executives, who say it has made it harder to plan their marketing strategies for August and September. Mike Hawes, chief executive of the Society for Motor Manufacturers and Traders, warned this week that manufacturers had been left trying to peer through 'a fog'. Meanwhile, Chinese manufacturers such as BYD have already started slashing their UK car prices, in a defensive measure to compensate for their exclusion. Dan Caesar, chief executive of campaign group Electric Vehicles UK, said: 'Some [carmakers] know that they're unlikely to be eligible and are proactively discounting ahead of time, while those that are applying will not be able to act as immediately.' A Whitehall source acknowledged the grant scheme rules could block some cars made by Western manufacturers but cautioned that officials could not say for certain until manufacturers applied to join the scheme. 'We want as many models as possible to qualify for these grants, but the scheme has been intentionally designed to incentivise the greenest possible manufacturing,' they said. 'There will be ways that companies that manufacture in different places, and through different means, can work with us to ensure they are still included.' A Stellantis spokesman said: 'Stellantis welcomes the Government's support to increase the sales of more affordable electric vehicles. 'This is something that we have been asking for. We are making the necessary grant applications for customers of our electric vehicles and are confident that a wide range of these, manufactured in our plants in the UK and Western Europe, will be eligible.'

Verstappen assures Red Bull he will always deliver
SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium, July 26 (Reuters) - Max Verstappen said Red Bull could always count on him, as the four-times Formula One champion gave new team boss Laurent Mekies a winning start in a Saturday sprint at the Belgian Grand Prix. The race was the first since Christian Horner, who led Red Bull into Formula One in 2005, was dismissed by the team's owners. Verstappen seized the lead on the opening lap from second at the start and kept McLaren's Oscar Piastri behind him to secure his and the team's first win of any sort since Imola in May. While worth only eight points, the victory was a significant statement after the recent restructure at the Milton Keynes factory. "The team can always count on me. They will always get my very best, whoever is in charge. They know that. I'm never holding back or anything," Verstappen told reporters. "I'm always trying to give them the best possible result, and that's also what they pay me for. For sure, it's positive. We need, of course, positive energy, and that's a great start for us." Verstappen said it was too early to talk about further changes to be made at Red Bull and Mekies needed to build relationships and see how the team operated. "Then at one point, you come to conclusions and maybe you want to change something, and this is something that will happen over the coming weeks, months," he said. "So, it's really early days, but so far, he's very keen and very motivated, and that's exactly what you want also. I got on very well with him. So, yeah, it's been a very good start."

Mercedes-AMG GT Track Sport Is A "Concept" Meant To Reclaim Porsche's Title
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. Concept AMG GT Track Sport Has Obvious Intentions The AMG GT replaced the monstrous SLS, and instead of another niche supercar, Mercedes decided to take aim at the Porsche 911. That's been especially evident in recent times, with the GT 63 PRO positioning itself as a 911 GT3 alternative, and it's about to become even more obvious with the next version to roll out of Affalterbach's workshop. Mercedes calls this the Concept AMG GT Track Sport, but this is clearly more than just a concept; it's a sign of an imminent addition to the lineup, and the top-hung rear wing suggests that the new variant's target will be the venerable GT3 RS, as do vented fenders… Previous Pause Next Unmute 0:00 / 0:09 Full screen 2024 Land Rover Defender V8 review: Still wild at heart Watch More What We Know So Far Mercedes says that 'the camouflaged high-performance project is being finalized before it has to prove itself on test tracks,' adding that the concept 'provides a preview of a possible expansion of the GT series with a V8 engine.' The existence of a Michelin street tire in these images confirms that this concept is not meant to be confined to the track, but that's still where it will shine brightest; AMG says the concept is 'designed for absolute dynamic driving performance to set new standards and record times.' The Porsche 911 GT2 RS with a Manthey Racing Kit beat the AMG GT Black Series' time of 6:48.047 just seven months after it was set, posting a 6:43.3 in June 2021, and the only other records worth mentioning are the outright record (already secured by the AMG ONE) and the manual production car record set by the 911 GT3, which the automatic-only AMG GT has no interest in. Power Figures Should Be High The decision to call this concept 'Track Sport' rather than Black Series indicates that it's not necessarily going to have ludicrous output. The AMG GT PRO we mentioned at the outset has 603 horsepower, but it also has a 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive system. The old AMG GT Black Series made 720 hp, all of which went to the rear wheels. We assume the Track Sport will fall somewhere between the two in the power stakes and deploy everything to the rear axle. Especially since this is described as 'uncompromising.'
