Skoda is the thinking man's Audi and the new old Volvo at the same time.

Oooo a boring man’s dream, I shall probably treat myself and keep it a long time.

I’ve been scouring KZfaq for inspiration on my next car. I’m a 39yo dad and this channel offers the most entertaining and informative content, sorry Matt Watson. Keep them coming bud, great vid 🤙🏼

Brilliant a diesel in 2024, that’s superb! What a great practical car with knobs and buttons that even JLR have ditched now. There’s never been a better reason to buy one! My French outlaws have a a yeti L&K and won’t sell it. It’s done 250K kms and just keeps going! Great work Skoda 👍

For the life of me...don't understand why North America abandoned Estates (station wagons) in favour of SUVs. Larger, heavier, use more fuel and (generally) more expensive to maintain. Instead of converting all those SUVs to much heavier more expensive (rare metal) EVs with low ranges...Give us more AWD TDI estate choices please!

Presently have two Skoda Superb 2 litre TDI executive, one hatch, one estate. (Airport Taxis), Both 2017. One has done 300k, the other 190k. In the past I have had Audis, VW Passats. Aside from normal wear and tear, have not had a moments trouble with either. Both do around 60mpg. Both still look like new and drive fine. Easily the best value for money executive car you can buy in my opinion if you look after them. Oil change with long life every 20,000. Nothing else comes close for value. I shall be buying one of the new ones in about 6 months. Next best choice is Merc E220D, but if buying a year old with about 40k on the clock, you will be paying about £6k more and about 40% more on insurance. Unless the snob value of a Merc badge means something to you, Skoda Superb all the way..

It's filling the gap that VW once occupied with the Passat. In fact imo, Skoda are actually making better cars overall than VW are. Skoda just keep on getting better, and doing things right. VW in the hand, have 'dropped the ball' and you can see this in their cars now. This Octavia estate knocks it out of the ball park, and leaves the brand new Passat looking like a damp squib. Which it is.

Tim, you need to set the sat nav for the UK, it's coming up with Portugal which I guess is the factory default. It's nice to see someone get excited about an "ordinary" car. I think I would settle for the new Octavia estate (VRS obviously). You've done well this week since you have picked your perfect sports saloon and now you favourite family lugger - well done.

The fact it hasn’t been tested at the Nurburgring means I’m interested 😅

I like big boots and I can not lie 😂

I'm delighted to hear you're still singing their praises. In the last 6 months or so I've agonised over whether to get one, big retirement treat from me to me, watched many youtube videos and your last one of the Superb Estate pushed my decision over the line and I picked one up just 2 weeks ago on 1st March. 2023 model, 73 plate SE L 197/198hp. Totally delighted with it. Even seeing the 2024 model I'm happy with mine, I don't like the screens that sit out proud of the dash, mine is nicely recessed. My boot has 660 litres so I don't think I really need 690! I'm in my 60's so I don't need lowered suspension etc, though on the odd occasion I want to give it some, it goes like shit off a shovel. Just done one mpg check so far, and it returned 52.2 in mixed driving. My mechanic friend says that will likely increase as the car beds in. To those who are on the fence, I say just go and get one. You will NOT be disappointed.

Love a Superb - on my second. Love the interior design but think the facelift pad previous model looked sharper. Desirable all the same though.

I have a Superb Combi 3 2ltr diesel Sport Line. Had it remapped up to 200BHP. Blows of VRS`s and Golf GTI`s. Much to their annoyance. ( being blown off by a big estate car ) Drove from Reading to Edinburgh and back down to the Lake District and still had 1/4 of a tank. Mostly motorway driving at the legal speed limit. ho hum. Love this car. Returns about 45 - 50 MPG urban, if I don't hit the loud pedal too often. Boot /load space is phenomenal. With the rear seats folded down, was able to get a fridge freezer in. Now it is 6 years old and only had to replace the battery. Cam belt and water pump changed at 30000mls.

I’d heard Margate has had a refresh, looks like they’ve done a good job

Great review as always, mate. Good to know that us tall blokes can drive these without crushing our small children in the back seat. Looking forward to checking these out when they land in the English colony of Australia.

A superb review... I have a 2017 L&K Combi , similar spec to this one. Mine has 380,000 kilometers on it and looks like and drives like a new car . I will probably purchase the new one

Love the review! ❤

I would go with the smaller display all day long!

Your motorbike reviews brought me here. As we say in Ireland, you're a very funny fecker! Great review.

Excellent review, I like your style very much 🙂

Great review, thanks. I have been looking for a new diesel vehicle and this seems to tick all the boxes. Will check one out at my Skoda dealer.

What a pleasant car. The Iced Tea Yellow colour is so nice as well.

A stylish and sensible choice all around it seems

Hugely informative. Keep up the great work. Are all these models mentioned available in the Uk? Prices?

I'm definitely getting old. Sat here on the sofa, with my two dogs, looking at a Skoda video, thinking '"I'll have one of them". I'd take the big boot, good economy, acres of passenger space and comfort, plus head up display, over a super car any day. Well except the 2 days of the year it's A) sunny and B) I've got the day to myself, then I'd have the super car.

How did you fix your tablet on that dashboard? Oh wait, was that the factory-fitted, cost-effective infotainment screen? A cool, pleasant and well rounded review, nevertheless. In fact, I've just subscribed.

Fancy Ramsgate for a holiday now…😀❤️👍

Review was good. Car was good. I’ve subbed. 🎉

Why are Skoda's so expensive now a days? It's crazy!

PHEV is an attractive proposition with the longer range. Has to be competitive in price though. Warranty or did I miss that?

Used to have an SE Executive TDi Estate a while back. Have to say best car I’ve ever owned, amazing comfort and performance and of course the space is fantastic. Unfortunately it was stolen and never seen again!

scout version of this would be perfect

The boot cover is really new and it closes electronicaly with the boot. This can even be seen in the video 😀

It feels like Skoda could easily occupy the 'posh but understated' niche that Saab used to call their own, especially if they continue to make some discreet but properly quick ones. I'm sure there's plenty of folk out there with money, but for whom Merc and Audi are a little too shouty.

I don’t even have felt lined doors in my brand new BMW 330e Msport Pro estate.

Looking at the sea behind you. Is it Canvey Island?

Surprised to see an english review on a czech car with czech plates haha, really cool (probably only to me since i'm czech, but oh well :) Great review!

PHEV version at 100km would take care of 95% of my driving needs - can it run in Electric only mode ?

:) pretty nice interior, with proper buttons and knobs.

I'm kinda in progress of deciding which car to ask from company to get. Superb is on the list. But I think G31 LCI 530d is better value retaining car even though it would be used one. And more of drivers car. Any opinions about G31 LCI vs New superb?

Thanks for the review. Central armrest with height adjustment was much better in mk3. Sad to see it gone.. Were there air outlets in new armrest and glovebox? And also new instrument cluster looks so ugly. In central column there should be place for two smartphones side by side. Steering wheel should be changed to a modern (hexagonal-ish) design. I didn't like that the gear selector moved to stering column and thus everything moved to the left stick, especially new tiny wiper control. Central air vents and the grill design to the right side don't look nice. Mk3 interior design was way better.

Very entertaining reviewer. Great car.

It's brilliant the way Skoda concentrate on small practicalities. They have got a bit pricey, however, but the Superb is still fantastic value compared with its VW and Audi stablemates. PS isso não é Ramsgate! 😆

Hello, thats a 60,000 euros car in portuguese market, sure thing, great review, thanks

does 1.5tsi have dq200 or dq381?

Why in 2024 are manufacturers still just sticking a screen on the vents. It looks so cheap. Is it really that hard to integrate it properly?

I'm big fan of the Superb Estate. Best estate car out there. I have a Mk3 2016 L&K 280 4 x 4 Estate with 360bhp (a real Wolf in Sheep's clothing) & had a Mk2 170 Diesel before that. All new cars are too expensive which is why I buy mine at 2-3 years old for half the price when new & keep them for at least 6-8 years. Not sure about the front end styling of this new Superb & the lack of a full EV or a 300+bhp petrol detract from it's overall appeal somewhat. That said at least it's got buttons & a rear wiper which seem to be lacking on so many new hatches, estates & SUV's. One to watch as a 2nd hand buy in a few years time.

im probably getting old, but i dislike all these manufacturers ditching the actual buttons and switching to touchscreens ...

But does it ground on every road hump when you are carrying heavy people?

Unsure what's Skoda's plan with the Superb e.g. is it only family oriented or will it keep the "sporty" look as it always had? If that's the case only let down for my taste is the DSG lever on the steering wheel....not sporty. I know you would tell me that Merc has it for years but not the cup of tea for everyone. Let's not simplify everything, let's keep the "gear change feel" on the central console. I like Merc but will never buy one just for the automatic lever. Thx for reading my post.

I’ve got a 2018 L&K estate. (40k). Love it. I’ve been waiting for the new model but here’s my issue. Value of mine px £15k ish Price of a new one after equivalent extras £50k probably. I have to fork out £35k … I’m struggling to justify that. Question, is it that much better than mine?

Dad’s got the old 280, it’s my favourite car to drive if I’m pretty much only on the motorway. Would still stick to my E39 for twistier roads, but these Skodas are suuuuuuexcellent

Looks pretty good to me - well worth a punt!

Hes filming this in my Home country, portugal ❤

Superb cabin looks superb

I don't think there's such thing as 'too posh' in today's car market, everyone has gone into full consumerism, becoming 'SUV-on-Finance' types and the bigger and flashier the better. Gone are the days of being proud of your humble Polo for getting you from A to B. Everything is now built for style over longevity because of how prevalent the finance market is

We have 2 Skodas. My wife’s has a superb estate 250k on it and other than a passenger door harness fault(VW design issue). Mine a OCTAVIA 100k on it. Both 4th, fully loaded. Keep thinking of getting something far more expensive, but it’s a car it gets me from A-B so why change and throw money away. I’m 6 foot 3 and leg room in both is great for both driver and second row in both cars. Not the most stylish cars in the world, but it’s a car.

Would consider a new superb estate but not in L & K spec. I bet the sportline spec will look good.

3:41 it opens/closes automatically when the boot is opened/closed.

Skoda really look good these last years, and people seem to buy them a lot. I especially like the Kodiaq. I just wander about the quality, especially on the long run. Does anyone have experience with it? I used to have a Felicia in 1998-99, and the quality wasn't the best. It would break down often. On the other hand, it was a cheap car, and this was more then 25 years ago.

I don’t know why noise is ignored in these reviews. It’s a very important factor for long range driving.

Skoda smashing it

The stop start feature should be something you have to turn on not off every time you turn the car on😡

Headup display in the windshield.. first time in a skoda.. my octavia would disagree.. climate buttons i do envy

This is what the new 5-series touring should have been. BMW, take note. The new škoda interior give me Ferrari 599 vibes in a good way. As a Czech national I am proud how far škoda has come with the release of this model.

Looking at the stupid looking dial cluster tablet thing, unadjustable armrest and most buttons disappearing, I'm keeping my 2023 Superb

Why is it a left hand drive in Margate?

In a time with 1.0L 3 piston petrol engines, i think this car with a 2.0 diesel and 193 hp, it's perfect between sportiness and economy.

Erm.... without sounding weird and a little creepy may I say you are rather good at this car video stuff!

There are a lot of things that are just right about this car. Well done Skoda you sensible lot isso não é ramsgate você careca tolo

I'm not sure how the gear selector will work if you drive on hand controls 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️ I've got a 2020 L&K 2.0 Estate on hand controls and absolutely love it... Maybe I'll need a mutation and grow an extra arm for this one 😆🤣😆

Only thing they could of done better is instrument cluster looks like it’s stuck on, not integrated properly. 🫤

Did I hear ramsgate mentioned 👀👀😂

Locations for driving review were really confusing. Looked like driving on the right in Ramsgate and Margate. Strange Portuguese clip for the motorway - then the last comment Isso não é Ramsgate. Really weird - there must be a reason for that.

It's a shame they ditched the manual option in the new Superb

in india the sedan version costs usd$72500.

Most people who "need" an "SUV" really just need this

Wow T-Shirt weather 😂Škoda are really pulling out the stops 😮 The sleep pack seem like it’s designed, so Dads can take roundabouts at inappropriate speeds, without chucking the little angel’s heads about. Han💤 device?

Crass and terrible metaphors....love it

I own a mk 4 Octavia 2020 and that has the windscreen projected heads up display so this is absolutely not the first time on a skoda 🤔

When compared to the 2023 model L&K, I personally feel that the interior (dashboard) made a step back. It looks less "premium"...

The real HUD is not the first on a Škoda - it’s been on the Octavia for years. Same for the sleep rear headrests by the way.

If they go too posh will price themselves out of sales. Such are the times we live.

Well yeah, there is absolutely no ambiguity about favouring big boots. Is it? I do appreciate them to on estates and at the beach. No American car reviewer could do that pun with their ridiculous "trunks". I hate to admit this but this review is funnier and provides more insight than Matt Watson on CARWOW.

No Sportline trim level anymore? That's a shame, not everyone thinks that good looking equals chrome'y & fancy ( = Laurin & Klement)

what price is the phev

Great car but it’s only going to have 2.0 under the bonnet at best. Needs the V6 back up front to feel genuinely luxurious

Still prefer the smaller integrated LCD display in the outgoing model. Having a PC monitor on top of the dash is not my club of tea. I am on my second Superb (2023 SE L) DSG Diesel. The first one was a Superb Elegance DSG Diesel (2015 Euro 5). Had it for 8 years with no issue what so ever. An absolute reliable workhorse for long distance travel. Thanks to Mr. Khan, I had to change from Euro 5 to Euro 6 else I would still be driving the 2015 Superb. It is just superb.

Love Skoda; not sure about the BMW- esque front grill however;

The Price???????

A GWM Haval H6 Ultra has all the tech, two years ago and the dashboard looks very similar.

Are you sure that’s not ramsgate ?

That's not the UK, it's not raining🤔

Front grill "borrowed" from BMW?

This car needs a sport suspension and big wheels to look good.

Superbs have always been perfect taxi cars

Really do not like the redesigned dash. I know it's common but I hate with a passion the stuck-on-iPad look. Much better when integrated; I'll be keeping my excellent mk3 estate.

No manual gearbox = I don't want one. I have the MK 3 AWD 2.0 TDI & it's amazing.

I feel like I belong in this comments section with the other Dads lol

13:10 stuck in traffic outside of ... what?
