2024 SKODA SUPERB REVIEW: ONE OF THE BEST VALUE CARS YOU CAN BUY

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Skoda Superb continues its legacy as a compelling choice, offering exceptional space, comfort, and value, positioning it as one of the best family cars available. This review highlights the 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol model in SE L trim. The Superb excels with its cavernous boot (690L in the estate, 645L in the hatchback), offering numerous clever storage solutions. Rear passenger space is limousine-like, with ample legroom and headroom, though the middle rear seat is firmer. Interior quality, while good, doesn't quite reach premium German levels, with some minor criticisms regarding the feel of certain controls. However, the user experience is enhanced by a 13-inch infotainment system with physical climate controls and intuitive 'smart dials'. The SE L trim is generously equipped, featuring heated, ventilated, and massaging seats, plus Matrix LED headlights. The 1.5L mild-hybrid engine, while not powerful (0-62mph in 9.3s), delivers its performance smoothly and quietly, achieving impressive real-world fuel economy of 40-45 MPG thanks to cylinder deactivation and coasting capabilities. Ride comfort is a standout feature, providing a wafty, well-controlled experience, though sharp handling is not its forte. The reviewer praises its practicality over similarly priced SUVs and its strong value proposition, making it a highly recommended, albeit not electric, option.
