Class-best rear legroom, not far off Audi levels of quality, quiet cruiser.
Strange rear styling, not as good to drive as the Mondeo. Ride quality deteriorates with bigger wheels.
Entry-level diesel is pick of the spacious Superb range with low emissions, plenty of kit and an overwhelming feeling of top-drawer quality.
As we know from our earlier road test of the Skoda Superb, the beautifully-built new generation is more comfortable, refined and better to drive than the car it replaces, but still falls short of its superlative nametag.
We've already driven the impressive 158bhp 1.8-litre petrol turbo and the 138bhp 2.0-litre diesel and came away impressed with the way both coped with the Superb's substantial 1.5-tonne mass.
Now it's the turn for the entry-level diesel. Prices start at an unbelievably low £15,950 for the well-equipped entry level 'S' trim, but the 103bhp 1.9-litre is significantly down on power. Still it poses Skoda's best chance at challenging the class-best on value and, until the Greenline arrives, it will be the cheapest to run, too.
Read on to find out if the biggest, cheapest, best value Skoda comes closer than ever before to being 'superb'.
