Summary


The Skoda Superb is a large family/executive car, available as either a liftback or an estate. This car is the current fourth-generation model, which was launched in early 2024.

Available as a petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid (latter currently only available with the estate bodystyle), the latest iteration of the Skoda Superb has received a very warm welcome from the British motoring media, and while its exterior looks don’t differ much from the previous generation, the Carbuyer team says that the family car has been given a “big interior upgrade, both in terms of design and tech.”

Ellis Hyde of Auto Express praises the Superb for its “host of smart and intuitive technology” that “adds more functionality without overcomplicating matters”, adding that the Skoda is “massively practical, comfortable, hugely spacious, and offers a well-finished interior at an affordable price.”

Ted Welford of Parkers agrees, exclaiming that the Superb “easily one of the best estate cars you can buy today”, but adds that the interior does have some cheap plastic components, and that the top-spec ‘L&K’ trim is rather expensive.

As of October 2024, the fourth-generation Skoda Superb holds a New Car Expert Rating of A, with a score of 82%. This is one of the highest scores in our Expert Rating index, aided by the car’s full five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.

The Skoda Superb is a relatively affordable car to own and run, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.

The fuel consumption of petrol models sits at about the market average, with diesel models being slightly more fuel efficient than the standard car.

The electric-only battery range of the plug-in hybrid version (which is only available in estate form at the moment) is commendable, but nothing to shout about. Its 81-mile electric only range should cover a week’s worth of short journeys without need for the petrol engine, provided that the Superb can be plugged in to charge at home.

The car’s insurance bracket is cheaper than average – an abnormality in the large car class – and the predicted servicing and maintenance costs for the first five years of ownership are more affordable than many cars of this size too.

For example, compare the Superb’s estimated five year maintenance cost total of just over £4k to that of the highly-regarded BMW 5 Series, which is predicted to cost nearly £3k more over the same period.
