Should you buy one?

The Skoda Superb is a car that’s exceptionally easy to recommend. Skoda’s largest model has always been an excellent choice, but is even better in this new generation. More spacious, refined and comfortable, the Superb is easily one of the best estate cars you can buy today. 

The interior gets the balance just right between being advanced and modern and still being easy to use – something many of its rivals forget. With a more intuitive interior than the Volkswagen Passat and Peugeot 508 SW, and quality that gets close to rival premium estates such as the Mercedes C-Class Estate, this looks to be one of the best new cars we’ll see in 2024. 

What we like

Huge dimensions are put to good use with the Superb’s spacious rear seats and massive boot. The easy-to-use interior is one of the best we’ve seen from the Volkswagen Group in recent years. It’s extremely refined and ideal for longer trips, while still having the option of a diesel alongside petrol and hybrid options. 

What we don’t like

Very little, in truth. The rectangular digital instrument cluster fitted into a round gap in the dash looks odd. The Smart Dials are made from cheap plastic and would have felt much better with proper metal.
