Skoda Superb Hatchback (08 on) - Review Review by Dan Harrison on 29 May 2008 Last Updated: 09 September 2008 Skoda has pulled out all the stops for the Superb – the biggest and most expensive model in the range. It gets a wide range of modern engines and gearboxes, has limousine levels of legroom inside and is very well equipped. But it’s the innovations – the ‘magic moments’ throughout the car – that are most impressive. The biggest of those is at the back, because the Superb is both a saloon and a hatchback. Push one button and the bootlid opens, push another and the whole tailgate raises up - just as you’d expect a hatchback to. There’s also an umbrella concealed in the door, hard drive storage for MP3 music files and the option of Park Assist – a function for making the Superb park itself. Comfortable and refined on the move it's also great value with generous levels of standard equipment. 4.5 out of 5 Other Skoda reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £17,810 - £31,880 View all new prices Used price range: £7,052 - £21,945 View all used prices See 80 new models for sale from £14,795 Get a Skoda Superb Hatchback (08 on) information pack Next steps Skoda Superb Hatchback cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
