The facelift of Superb II looked nice, whats your opinion ?

They say ordering can start end of june, at least here in mainland eu.

Liked the new led lights and fog light design.

Is it just the cosmetic bits that are changed or are there engineering/hardware upgrades also? Looks ok to me.

Not that keen on it to be honest.

When folks travel in my 2012 MY 1.4 tsi, they usually think it's got stop/start - that's how quiet it is at idle!

It seems to be minor cosmetic changes to interior and exterior. Most models will likely get stop/start and energy recovery but mechanics should remain mostly unchanged. I doubt many non-Superb owners would not a difference upon inital glance, and this beggars the question:- why change every panel if things look almost identical afterwards?

The lights do look better and the rump of the twindoor has been tidied up a bit. Not sure about waiting for the new model becasue the "VAT-free" deal will no doubt disappear with it's arrival (atleast for a year or so).

Not sure about it to be honest. I'm thinking of moving away from the Superb in any case on my next renewal about a year from now and this isn't going to make me reconsider, which a decent remodel may have done.

To be honest the main driver on probably moving away is the running cost and tax hit. I only get about 350 miles out of the 4x4 estate for each refill. Considering going to a compact SUV like the Mazda CX5 which has a more efficient engine, although maybe not the rear room and the refinement of the Superb. If they are doing nothing about that just now then I can't see my going back in for another.

You're getting 40mpg (ish) which seems to be the norm. I cannot see you saving much with 10% on fuel going to the Mazda. Your call as to whether that's worth the change.

Great with finally 4x4 and 125kw with dsg !
