Design, Practicality and Boot Space

The design of the new Skoda Superb Estate is characterized by a blend of elegance and functionality. It features clean, contemporary lines with a focus on practicality and spaciousness. The Superb Estate has a sleek and aerodynamic exterior design. It features a stylish front grille, LED headlights, and a modern, understated aesthetic. The elongated body of the estate version contributes to its practicality. Inside, the Superb Estate continues the theme of spaciousness. The interior is well-appointed with high-quality materials, giving it a premium feel. The design is intuitive and user-friendly, with well-organized controls and a touchscreen infotainment system.

Skoda Superb Estate Exterior

The Skoda Superb Estate is highly regarded for its practicality, making it a popular choice among those who need a versatile and functional vehicle. The Superb Estate offers generous legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers, ensuring a comfortable ride for all occupants. The estate body style provides a spacious cargo area. The Superb Estate's boot (trunk) space is known for its impressive capacity, and it can be further expanded by folding down the rear seats. This versatility is a significant practical advantage for transporting items of various sizes. The Superb Estate is well-suited for families due to its spacious interior and ample boot space. It's an excellent choice for family trips as well as everyday use.

The Skoda Superb Estate's boot space is one of its standout features. The Skoda Superb Estate offers a substantial amount of cargo space, around 660 to 1,950 litres, with the rear seats folded down. This means you can comfortably carry everything from luggage and sports equipment to larger items like furniture.

Interior and Trims

Transforming from its initial status as a budget model, the Superb Estate now exudes a notably premium ambience within its interior. A significant portion of the surfaces comprises plush, soft-touch plastic or high-quality leatherette. Even the less costly plastics used deeper in the cabin exhibit a sturdy and resilient quality rather than coming across as merely inexpensive.

All models now include digital instruments as standard, referred to as Skoda's 'Virtual Cockpit.' While they may appear somewhat understated, they provide the flexibility to customize the displayed information to align with your preferences. Positioned in the centre of the dashboard is a standard 8.0-inch touchscreen, with the option to upgrade to a more expansive 9.2-inch display on higher-end models. This screen not only boasts an upscale appearance but also retains the user-friendly older Skoda software, offering ease of use and intuition.

Remarkably, the Superb has retained user-friendly physical buttons and rotary controllers for climate control, steering clear of the often-challenging touch-sensitive controls. Although the screen can be enhanced with built-in navigation, it might not be necessary given that all models are equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connections. This convenience means you'll likely rely on your smartphone's navigation app. The basic eight-inch screen is particularly straightforward, featuring a physical stereo volume knob, while the larger screen, while not matching the system in the BMW 3 Series Touring, remains user-friendly.

Five trim levels are available: SE, SE Technology, SE L, SportLine Plus and L&K.

SE models come equipped with intelligent assistance systems and eye-catching exterior enhancements, making sure that your daily travels are nothing short of stylish.

The Superb SE Technology is an impressive executive car with an interior that ensures a first-class travel experience designed for those with a dynamic lifestyle.

The Superb SE L represents a premium trim level, offering a host of customizable systems and cutting-edge technology, all wrapped in a design that demands attention.

Elevating the iconic Superb design, the Superb SportLine Plus adds extra features such as heated front seats, blind spot detection, and dynamic steering. This trim stands out among its peers.

The Superb L&K draws inspiration from our rich history while embracing our commitment to being distinctly unique in the present day. This luxurious trim is a genuine celebration of style, comfort, and sophisticated functionality.

Power and Performance

If you prefer a petrol engine, the Skoda Superb Estate offers an entry-level 148bhp 1.5 TSI 150 that surprisingly packs a punch (accelerating from 0-62mph in a reasonable 9.3 seconds), and it's our recommended choice within the lineup. For those seeking more power, Skoda provides options with the effortlessly speedy 187bhp 2.0 TSI 190 and the range-topping 276bhp 2.0 TSI 280.

Skoda Superb Estate Interior

However, if you require towing capability or plan to cover long distances, the 148bhp 2.0 TDI 150 diesel engine emerges as your top choice. It offers ample low-end power, reducing the need to rev it as high as a petrol engine to make progress. In fact, it's so capable that opting for the pricier 197bhp 2.0 TDI 200 diesel is unnecessary unless you specifically desire the extra performance it offers.

Overall, the new Skoda Superb Estate is a well-rounded and practical car, perfect for UK drivers, where its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and versatile cargo space are a great fit for both urban and rural lifestyles. Skoda's reputation for reliability and value for money also makes it a strong contender in the estate car segment and an excellent choice for leasing.

Leasing vs Buying

The Skoda Superb Estate is now available for purchase at a starting on-the-road price of £31,685.00*, or it can be leased with monthly payments starting from Price On Request.

If you're considering leasing a Skoda Superb Estate, we proudly offer excellent car leasing services in the UK. Our leasing deals include a manufacturer's warranty, road tax, breakdown insurance, and free delivery to most areas of the UK mainland (excluding specific regions).

Leasing a Skoda Superb Estate can often be a more financially advantageous option compared to purchasing outright, thanks to the fixed monthly payments, variable mileage options, low initial rental, and flexible contract durations.

It's important to note that the 'on-the-road' price mentioned includes a year's road fund license, DVLA first registration fee, and a number plate fee.

It's a lovely car, but a 'dirty diesel'. I would look for a greener option, especially with the increasing cost of diesel fuel.

Paul Skoda Superb Estate 1.6 TDI CR SE GreenLine

The Skoda Superb estate has been an excellent decision, financially it's a bargain, it's got tons of space front and back, it's comfortable, the quality is great and I've actually preferred driving it than the equivalent Audi, BMW or Mercedes.

Gemma Skoda Superb Estate 2.0 TDI CR SE 4X4

I dislike the handbreak as had 4 issues with it failing which was obviously huge inconvenience. The lease hire company dealt with case very well but unfortunately our local Skoda garage is very poor and I don’t like having to deal with them when other garages are better and still use genuine parts

The car does everything you'd expect a car of this size and value to do with ease and comfort. The DSG gearbox is a bit jittery in slow moving traffic and coming to a stop as well as being a bit lazy to change down sometimes. Sport setting helps but the steering paddles would probably help too though not fitted to my car. Everything else is great for it's intended purpose. Only issue I have had is the infotainment isn't compatible with all phones and can lose connection or even cause the screen to go off completely with my iPhone SE connected to it either via CarPlay or bluetooth alone.

The Superb only faults are 1) Back sear does not fold flat 2) The back seats could be brought forward more giving more room in boot. The car is comfortable and performance is good.

Mike Skoda Superb Estate

This is my second Skoda Superb, and in almost every respect, it is as good, if not better, than my previous model. As always with Skoda, it comes with far more options as standard than any of its competitors, so is excellent value for money. It's a solidly built car, and feels it as well. At 190BHP, it's more capable than the MKII at 150BHP, and the extra power is essential, as it's big solid car to move around. If a higher powered model was available with the L&K trim, I'm sure it would be very popular, but at present, you'll need to choose the Sportline for that, which has far less options included, and isn't available with a manual gearbox. Heated seats, windscreen and mirrors are very useful, and the array of control a driver has over the car configuration is very wide. The ability to reconfigure chassis settings for various driving modes is useful. It is unbelievably spacious, with no shortage of legroom in both front and rear, and yet it still boasts a huge boot capacity. There are two negative points so far. The first one, is that its predecessor, the Superb MKII Estate, was equipped with sliding boot rails to secure luggage, and this MKIII does not have that feature, which is a disappointment, and a rare mistake from Skoda. The second, and this is also common to previous models, is that the SatNav system never seems to have any map updates available for it. This means that maps can very quickly become out-of-date, and this may not be immediately noticeable to drivers, but compared to weekly updates from TomTom, it means that by the end of a longer lease period, you will almost certainly come across situations where satnav is useless. That said, I will almost certainly have another Superb when the time comes for me to renew it.
