@@colors6692Much more desirable than a SUV and bought by people who value driving dynamics over fragile egos who “need a taller car”. Clarified enough for you?

You can set the middle smart dial to a volume knob 😉

I have a 2017 Superb L&K Combi , 2ltr diesel, from New. All the bells and whistles, sunroof, extra airbags, premium sound system , variable boot, etc etc. It now has 380,000 kilometers on her and still drives like new. Tight and no rattles. It's my intention to buy a new one. Diesel of course. I am also looking for a BMW 5 Touring diesel 2022 if anyone knows of one get in contact! 😊. The superb I have is my second one. The first one I bought in 2014 after looking at a review by Bob Flavin . I highly recommend the Superb.

I love seeing more estate cars on the road, it feels like a mini resurgence in Ireland - they really are the perfect family car. €60k for this or a 2022/23 G31 530e Touring with decent spec.

The first time I sat in a Superb was a saloon taxi from Belfast Airport to Belfast City Centre and sat in the back too. Amazing space for this 6'4" frame; great looking that new one.

It really lives up to its name. Very practical, smart and likely to be pretty reliable. Personally, I much prefer estates to SUVs.

In terms of passenger space this car is much more luxurious than a Mercedes E-class.

Love Estate cars. Much more practical than SUVs.

Owner of 2021.Octavia with 70,000 km and car is amazing.No issues at all.Maybe I am talking rubish, but my brain is not allowing me to go and spend 55000-60000eSkoda.They are not normal with prices these days.

@lumajs Income in this case, is totally irrelevant, but as you mention, it I must say beside Octavia I also have 23 Formentor so just for example that money is not problem.My point was that car is amazing but just as a brand I think someone needs to be crazy and spend 60 000e on Skoda.Have a nice day 😉

The 1934 Superb is immensely superb.

When I first seen this on the Skoda Official website live a few months ago, I did say in the comments section I didn't like it. But now..... I am impressed

That brand of car is not known by many in Guyana, but its a good looking inside and out and vary practical. I like it.

Loving your work, Way better than an SUV. Estates ride and handle better than an SUV. They usually weigh less and are more efficient that SIVs too. The Superb is a bit too big for me. I believe there is an updated Octavia on the way. That might be the one for me as I have had 2011 and 2014 Octavias. I am fan of the 308 and 508 SW too.

True about Octavia not sure when though exactly. .25 so a fair bit more ‘slippy’ than an SUV

Great review Mark. If the Skoda Octavia is all the car you ever need then the Superb must be all the car you ever need only bigger. Another great family, practical , reliable, and spacious Skoda. Prices will probably start around €50k

The superb is the best estate car out there. I'm on my second one but I will be disappointed if they are not now offering a 300+bhp petrol 4x4 in this new range to replace my Mk3 280 L&K.

A great review of a great car. Well done Nobby.

Call me old-school, I don't like the way buttons disappear and everything is transferred to LCDs. I´ll still go for a used with buttons and real instrument dials. And for sure a Diesel it is just the right engine for this car. If I was to buy the new model I would swap the ice scraper for the one in my old Octavia when the salesman turns his back for 4 seconds.

The Superb is all the car you’d need if you have a family and I love your review Mark. When it comes to car reviews these days, if it’s a SUV, I give it a miss. Love seeing reviews of real cars like hatchbacks, saloons and estates. Not surprised manufacturers are moving away from diesel as I feel it’s going to be priced out of the reach of motorists in the coming years on “environmental” reasons. I recently switched from a 13 year old diesel that averaged 5.2 litres per 100km to a petrol that averages 5.8/100km. Not much of a difference as petrol engines have gotten so much more economical and the added refinement and power delivery means I’ll never go back to diesel.

Amazing car, i dislike the screens and haptic buttons, but it gives you so much that i could make an exception for it

Very cool. Price will be interesting. Current saloon (in Sportline) is c€53/54K with a few bits, probably not far off saying +10% for the new model? Puts it bang in that €58-€60K mark. Will be interesting to see! Great video as always 🙌

Great car, great video. I'm not completely certain but I think any of those 3 new LCD turn controls can be programmed to turn up/down the volume.

I have a 2016 2.0 Diesel DSG Superb and have done 248,000 km on it since then. Runs perfect. Only issue was the aluminium strips which surround the rear windows kept coming off. The garage was never able to fix it properly and Skoda Ireland washed their hands of it after replacing them once. Now I just drive the car with the rear strips missing which looks a bit tatty. The new one looks good though so I am tempted.

Hi Mark. Great review. As always. Saw your surprise with the choice of petrol there 😊. Oddly, on the Skoda configure UK, the L&K only comes with the 4x4 diesel engine which is strange ….. and, so surprising, the rear wiper option is now £120 where it was a free option. Odd. I definitely like the interior more than the Passat and the smart dials are a good compromise. It does beggar belief that every manufacturer followed the Tesla route of everything in the screen. Volvo EX30 has copied that almost completely. Will seriously consider buying a new one of these but would have to be a spec ex up SE L in order to get the petrol engine. That really is an odd decision by Skoda. Great work Mark and look forward to the next.

Great video again, thank you. For me the tech is not great, will stick with my 2023 Superb and save some money!😊

A scout version would be great.

The current model 2023/24 Combi starts at 41k euros for the Ambition (1.5tsi) so Id imagine this is going to be a good bit more Love it if only I could afford it

That area is normally a windy one :D but it is beautiful

A beautiful motor, I love the estate, but if you ball park figure on the price is right I think it may make the difference when looking around, I hope its not as dear as you think , but a beauty none the less, great reviews as always. 😊

Thanks for the video. Interesting to see how it does against its sibling, the Kodiaq. Pricing may prove crucial.

The L&K suspension should have been noticeably better or did both cars have the new adaptive dampers? Do you loose any boot space with 4x4 like you do in golf? Was carplay more reliable?

Great Review 👌

Great review. Prices are out now so I'm about to order a 2.0 diesel 150hp Combi. Would you pay the €1478 for the panoramic roof? I see in your review you drove with and without. Was opting for the black leather instead of cognac as i think it might wear better with kids. Thanks again for the review👍

I would, I have had four superbs , two Octavias, a Felicia and a favourite black line, I shall hold on to my 2016 superb, 2.0 TDI se-l executive, the price to replace mine has doubled, they are taking the piss.

Guincho (Cascais) Portugal. ✌

I wish this (and Kodiaq) had a PHEV 4x4 option. But I guess VAG figured no-one would buy an Audi after that...

I did see somewhere that the L&K was £51 in the UK, not seen that confirmed though.

Considering it is not possible to get a new passat, this will likely be our next car.

Majority of Superbs will be business use.............you can't claim back VAT on Pertrol. So even if the cosumption is identical.........the Diesel (for business users) will be over 20% more "economical" I think this should be pointed out .

Is the Octavia coming with a 26kWh PHEV?

that is a beautiful car, but the the same was the old one. . i do drive a 2021 one , and i have to say that the one and only engine that suits best the character of the car is the 2.0 petro 280 hp. yes, I drove a diesel one but it is simply not the same. if you don't do high mileage than get the powerfull one paired with the dcc and there will be no regrets. It is not a sporty car by any means, it is just a big, quiet, fast comfortable cruiser with the downside that it will sip dinosaurs juice at an alarming speed. the very definition of a sleeper. however if you do high mileage a diesel or the 1.5 petrol make more sense.

Carcavelos, Portugal is as stunning as this car. ❤️

What about the 2 litre petrol? It always surprises me that Distributers don’t bring these models in, make it the desirable model!

I have to contradict you on the review reguarding the engines. With 4 pessengers and trunk full with luggages the 150hp are not enough if you need to do a fast overtake.The diiference of 40hp compared to a diesel can be felt,plus with a full car the petrol engine will start to eat more fuel. Also I do not feel the need the volume slider that you said is a negative,I always use volume from steering wheel on every car I had. This is my choice for my next car,looks beautiful and I bet is an amazing car.

Both are designed by Škoda folks, some of whom are German, however, they share more parts than before, and both are made in the Slovak capital Bratislava now. The Passat has the VW logo, some knobs instead of dials but the driving impression is the same.

In design Skoda is closing up to the average chinese cars... 1-3 years ago the design was distinct Skoda.

The top Škoda models are moving to luxury categories because they can. They probably cannot compete with Dacia and China in making the cheapest models now. They don't have the duty to stay in that category at all. But smaller models are still cheap enough. Škoda Epiq should be a GBP 21k ev SUV.
