The ideal car for those who like achterpassagier like his legs last, but not the A8, 7-series or S-class can pay.

From inside and outside huge
More space was needed, but the Czechs have the certain for the uncertain and the third generation Superb, again a little to grow. Both length and 4,86 m long (+ 28 mm) width 1,86 m (+47 mm) and height grew 1,46 m (+6 mm). The wheelbase also grew and so has the rear seat more like a ballroom than of the stuffy, ridiculous small areas at which place in the competition. Behind myself is no problem. To give an idea: with my 1 meter 94 if that is actually only in the top class. 625 litres of luggage space is also such a unique item, only minivans have more luggage space. The only downside is that if stuff way in the back, you are a kind of snoekduik the fry should take to get it out. It seems to me a good alternative to yoga, or are Skoda drivers to be sober to be there at all?
TDI-power
Only after a glance at the papers was my doubt taken away: it was nota bene the 190 hp 2.0 TDI which I was on the road. An engine that on paper the Superb more than smooth would have to make, but which, in practice, slightly against fell. Nice and smooth, but the promise of 190 hp and 400 Nm makes the 2.0 TDI in the Superb are not completely true. That do fear for the less powerful diesels (2.0 TDI with 150 hp and the 1.6 TDI), but fortunately, you for the difference in tax liability not to do. They have transmission all 20% additional tax, with automatic transmission only the 1.6 TDI tax-friendly figure. The smallest diesel makes use of the seven-speed DSG with dry clutch, that is what is more efficient, but may be less high koppelwaardes (explanation here).

Only from 1750 revolutions per minute, is there really life in, the exact moment when the torque peaks at 400 Nm. Below it has the turbo there is not yet such a meaning in, a little switch is, therefore, necessary to have the momentum to keep.

Not a great ass
For the previous Superb hatchback this would be a gross understatement of the turn, unless you’re a fan of slightly sagging derrières. The third-generation Superb is tighter, but the back is now mostly boring. It’s not really ugly but not really beautiful. The rest of the car makes it a bit of good, but Skoda knows the audience is also very good. All testauto’s were also conducted in five shades of grey, with a bit of blue in it.
The interior is much more refined than you might from a “budget” brand is expected. The materials, controls and systems would not look out of place in a Volkswagen, but Audi is even nicer. In terms of security systems you do not lack to come: a battery (optional) cameras and sensors to ensure that you have everything good looks, or braking automatically for you if need be.
Apple CarPlay
The typical Skoda driver is seems to me rather an Android user, but it didn Skoda’t like Apple CarPlay, a place to give in to the infotainment system. So you can call and listen to music via the lightning cable, but that was previously all via bluetooth. You can also Apple Maps places to get lost, but what that adds in a car where all navigation is present, eludes me a little. The messaging (iMessage) is very a addition, and only works the speech recognition quite expensive. Really useful is Apple CarPlay (yet) not, perhaps, that the future expansions that is.
French comfortable
A light after rolling car at a threshold, large holes in the road that are simply just drawn, I had to just squeeze. Skoda is not French right? And still has a German parent company where they prefer things one step further tighten the security?
Cars where veercomfort priority over fast lap times or a “nice sporty” drive feel seemed to get away from it all the grace, all the cars seemed to be tailored to onderstelafstemming on each other. With the Superb does Skoda completely different, and that fits in perfectly with the kind of car what it is. It makes the Superb a maniac pur sang. For a game of corners on a mountain road, the Volkswagen Group’s other cars in the portfolio.
Conclusion
Except for the Chinese market, there are no other car manufacturers who have plenty of legroom on offer in this class. From a small 28 mille is a Superb on the pavement and if the space is what you are looking for, then you don’t have to drive further than the local Skoda dealer.
Reasons not to do it are also there: although the handling is fine, it is in no way a real stuurmansauto. If there is someone your keys from the bar snatch, then she should move or do they want a lift home. In the back you’re regal, but reasons to be in the front to climb, there are a few. Movie!
