Thank you for a very informative review of this excellent car. A great all-rounder, as you quite rightly say gives you the best of all world's. I do like the interior in the beige leather, it gives the cabin an airey and sophisticated limousine feel.
iV stands for Intelligent Vehicle, that means: car can recognize signs, adjust speed accordingly and monitor 360 surroundings next to ACC - so its clever system and it does very well!; Furthermore, I am now getting the second one (2024 model) with 16Kwh battery, this means that first 65-70Km I can drive on electricity only (in mixed hybrid mode it uses on average of 1.3-1.5liters of fuel on 100Km) and if battery is out, it's average is 4.5-5liters /100Km.
Sorry, did not drive the car this far and since i try the car in various different situations, the consumption is rarely as mentioned by manufactur - but it seemed to me that the claimd consumption would be possile in this plug in hybrid
My Superb IV (Kombi, estate or wagon) has a consumption about 5.5l/100km on long trips with an empty battery. With 2 full charges i came 1007km on a full petrol tank and i filled it up when the tank reserve(red light) switched on. This was in Sweden this week an the temperature was about 5-10 Celsius.
I drive it - yes it does, only to the minimum recharge (up to 10% not more) that is enough for star/stop system, but not for fully electric driving (so it does like Toyota normal Hybrid and always keeps some E energy). You can change mode (on 2023-2024 models) that will fully charge from engine in around 30-40 minutes battery will be full, but then fuel consumption will go up to 6-7 liters.
I think this Superb iV is too fast for a slow and cold Estonian tallinnista:) And next time keep both hands on a wheel in order to follow an excellent driving ethics.

What is interior noise like compared with A6 E class etc
Good review! Whats the consumption when the battery is empty or on a longer range? For example 200km... Thanks!

on my golf gte phev it does 45+ highway and 55 city when “flat”. it always keeps some in reserve so it acts like a regular toyota hybrid

Probably the cheapest hybrid without CVT?
Waste of time just buy, normal ice cheaper petrol or diesel.

Cyclists have as much right on the road as petrol guzzling cars!
Typical response from a cyclist, glad its just not the uk where you see these idiots
cyclist myself and it seemed to me that this one had a bike lane next to the road... correct me if i am wrong...
Cyclist don't pay road tax.
