Skoda Superb | First Drives | Car Reviews | Auto Express

Our early drive confirms that Skoda is soon to have another great car on its hands. The Superb is an intriguing alternative to mainstream family models. It’s very comfortable, has limousine levels of rear seat space and, unlike its predecessor, the practicality of a hatchback. Add lots of standard kit and, if Skoda prices it right, the Superb could steal sales from more established family cars. We look forward to driving the finished model!

Quite surprised by this:

The saloon has been replaced by a hatchback – and an estate is coming, both of which are firsts for the Superb range.

The petrol engine line-up will comprise five VW-sourced units inclu­ding an entry-level 120bhp 1.4-litre TSI super-turbo' date=' a 158bhp 1.8 turbo, a 200bhp 2.0 turbo and a flagship [b']3.6-litre V6 with VW’s Haldex four-wheel drive[/b]. Diesel options include 140bhp and 170bhp 2.0 common-rail turbos and a 2.7-litre V6 TDI.

interesting engine line up! a 1.4!!! wow

plus is that there proof of the vRS version? with 4wd and v6 power it would certainly be interesting or could it be "scouted" up?

ive had pics of both for a while now. but until now i didnt realise that one was a hatch!! just didnt pick up on that till now! lol! had to go check to be sure

Not as sporty as a Mondeo???? Which Mondeo were they driving?

If everything is to be believed it's a hatch and a saloon in one......could end up with over 300 bhp in one version or another.....I'd be very happy with a 170 bhp diesel estate
