Skoda Superb (2008-2015) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Limo-like cabin space	Bland to look at
Broad choice of efficient engines	Not very exciting to drive
The estate has loads of luggage room	The 3.6-litre 4x4 is very thirsty

Quick Summary

The Skoda Superb (2008-2015), known as the B6 generation, is an exceptionally spacious and practical family car that offers outstanding value for money. Available as both a five-door hatchback and estate, it boasts limo-like rear legroom and a generous boot – the estate provides a cavernous 633 litres with seats up and 1,865 litres with them folded. The interior quality is excellent for a mainstream car, and the Superb was awarded five stars by Euro NCAP in 2009 with a strong 90% score for adult occupant protection. A 2010 facelift brought styling refinements and additional engine options.

The engine range is broad and sensible, with efficient diesels being the standout choice. The 138bhp and 168bhp 2.0-litre TDI units deliver strong acceleration with fuel economy in the low-to-high 40s mpg, whilst the economical 1.6-litre Greenline achieves close to 60mpg. Petrol options include the 1.4 TSI, 1.8 TSI, 2.0-litre, and range-topping 3.6-litre VR6, though the latter is thirsty and costly to run. The Superb handles neatly and rides well, though it prioritises comfort and practicality over driving excitement. Insurance groups are competitive, and fixed-price servicing plans are available.

Best for: Families prioritising space and practicality, those seeking excellent value, buyers wanting low running costs with diesel engines, and those needing maximum luggage capacity with the estate variant.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking premium badge appeal, those wanting an engaging driving experience, or buyers attracted to striking design and styling.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Superb if: You prioritise space and practicality, seek excellent value for money, want low running costs with a diesel engine, or need maximum luggage capacity with the estate variant.

Consider alternatives if: You desire premium badge appeal, seek an engaging driving experience, or are attracted to striking design and styling.

Competitive Position: The Skoda Superb (2008-2015) is an outstanding choice for families seeking practicality and value. Whilst the VW Passat offers a classier interior and the Ford Mondeo provides more driver engagement, the Superb surpasses both in interior space and represents superior value. Its broad engine range, competitive insurance groups, and excellent safety credentials make it one of the finest used family cars available. The estate variant rivals even the Mercedes E-Class for luggage space, whilst offering a fraction of the cost. For buyers prioritising space, efficiency, and affordability over badge appeal, the Superb is difficult to beat.
