Surely the Skoda Superb is in the same class as the BMW 5 series and Audi A6, not the 3 series or A4 series. I used to own a Skoda Octavia 4 x 4 and it was easily the equivalent of the Mondeo and A4 and roomier than a 3 series. If considered to be the equivalent of the 5 series and A6 series, the Skoda proves to be exceptional value for money.
I still don't understand that. I owned a BMW 5 series with all the bells and whistles and have to say that an equivalent Skoda Superb matched if for luxury. In fact, the Superb even had an umbrella in each of the front doors. That was not an option on my BMW.
Much like the Octavia, is officially in the golf/A3 class, but in reality it's closer to 3 series / mondeo etc.. Both the superb and Octavia are great cars. I'm going vrs next (probably). I do like a superb, but i feel im to young for a superb (late 30s). The sport line is cool, but I'd see my superb to be more comfort facing. So maybe by 45 ish ill go superb, and have cheap limo. If could have a choice id want a new Fabia vrs, but im too old and need more space. Im not one for liking a brand, but Skoda is one of my favs. If only i could go and tell my 10-year-old self that skodas would one day be brilliant buys.
My dad has the L&K top range all bells and whistles of the superb and it’s a very nice car! It’s lovely inside with mega loads of rooms, the heated and ventilated from and back seats are amazing! I’d definitely pick this over an Audi
I have a 2019 Skoda Superb. It is about 99% perfect. Suffers from bad software bugs and a spare wheel hole that is not big enough for an 18" full-sized wheel. The rest is incredible - it is really comfortable to drive - I agree with the lady on the screen, get the 2.0 L engine, especially if the car is full loaded. Good visuals through the windows and the 7-speed DSG works very well, plus it is very responsive in "sport" mode, but be aware, the gearbox stick ONLY CHANGES THE GEARBOX, not the suspension, steering or anything else.
Dave Baghramian Maybe. But you can buy 2 Superbs for the price of one E-class. Its competitors are the Ford Mondeo, VW Passat, Opel Insignia. And the premium luxury manufacturers shouldn't be even mentioned.
The bmw is a small car I’m 6’8 can’t fit into the bmw or the superb mondeo is the better Car for tall people and I get 72 mpg on a run with the 2 litre diesel don’t like the VW’s overrated
I stopped the video after she said comparable to BMWs tiny, cramped, plasticy 3 series. I have a Rapid Notchback and its bigger inside that a 3 series and not far off a 5 series. I have passed a few Superb Sportlines on the Motorway in Red, Dragon Green and White. I got to say its a damn good looking car! As for the dashboard its clear and simple to use. I f ing hate getting into cars with an over designed dashboard where I have to take my eyes off the road to figure out where a button or control is like Ford Focus, Audi A3/4 or Vauxhall Astra.
The Superb competes with the 5 Series Beemer and the E Class Merc. And it is way superior in terms of what it offers at the price! Truly Clever. Truly well priced. Truly great value. Truly Superb!
Ever been in the back of an A4 or 3 series ? The superb has more rear seat space and boot space than a Mercedes E-class station wagon. The only part where the superb compares to the A4, C - class and 3 series is the price.
Love my superb moved from a e class coupe to a superb estate (due to having dogs) was in split minds between e class estate and the superb. But around where I live mercedes are everywhere. I'm glad I ended up with the superb it certainly is a understated luxury car in my eyes. When picking up friends the first thing they comment on is the rear legroom I'm 6,5 and the seat is as far back as can be and still had more leg room than a c class estate. Btw if anyone is interested in the size of dogs you can easily fit a a Rhodesian Ridgeback and a German shepherd at the same time.
Like the idea with the engines list and available trims at the bottom of the screen. Following Rebecca and Matt since Carbuyer, recon both are best in the business. Great review!
I'm was expecting her to say something like " The next train to arrive at platform 2 will be the 10.28 Virgin Trains service to London Euston".... Her voice is strange to say the best....
When will car reviews stop giving boot dimensions in litres, its a useless measurement for judging practicality of boot space, what is the maximum length of load? maximum width? and maximum height, it would be far more useful to known that, you might as well be using the international standards such as 1/1000th of a football pitch or 1/50th of a London bus.
Please people. How could you be so mean and disrespectful about her voice? We are all different as human beings. My opinion is that she is very good and professional about her job.
Comparing the Superb to a 3-series or MB C-class is very strange - this size segment is where Octavia lives. Logically Superb should be compared to E-class, 5-series, A6 & XF.
Dani Wornath, badge-wise these are premium brands, but compare the cars' dimensions + the bells & whistles and u'll see that the Superb L&K edition is a close contender.
There's no way this is in the same class as a 3 series and C class, its at least a 5 series and E class dimensions and on par with S class interior space
Simon Evans Same with most car reviewers at the moment, sadly. Sounds like it’s a real chore for them. As an aside, Imagine this one reading the weekly football pools results...
Why do people compare Superb with C class or 3 Series when they are not in the same class. Superb is in the class with E class and 5 series. It is half a meter longer than C class or 3 Series. Stopped watching this review, after Rebecca made that comparison.
3:23 She has got to be joking...... this thing is MILES better than BMW or Mercedes in terms of interior quality. The A4 is another three steps above that as well.
Watched the review on mute- looks like a great car. Please Rebecca, ditch the effected, automated voice. To say it's annoying, is a bit like saying that fish appreciate water.
I don't want to be critical of anyone's physical attributes that they can't change.... it isn't their fault.......so instead I just have to watch this video on mute using subtitles, and try to forget how she talks.
I must differ on the subject of the lady’s speech. While I flinched at her pronunciation of ‘lustre’ and found her single example of tautology and use of the word ‘stuff’ a little tedious, the remainder of her speech was clear and modulated in a manner which held the listener’s attention.
I would say its more comparible to the Merc E class, BMW 5 series or Audi A6 as its bigger inside than both. The Octavia is A4, 3 series or C class size. A little more research before doing this vid would have revealed this.
You know the monarchy is given based on how hot your wife is? It's the one that shoots out first wins. He isn't going to be king because he never 'did is brother in' before he had offspring.
full marks for not laughing when referring to " hard things lower down" and "6.5 inch grows to 9.2inch screen" whilst maintaining that condescending delivery
This car has to be compared to the Mercedes E class, 5-series BMW or Audi A6 - god knows what Rebecca is doing comparing it to the compact 3-series or A4. Also, height awareness! Rebecca may be vertically challenged but I must point out that six foot is nothing these days. I'm six foot and most teenagers are taller than me! Having somebody who is 5ft 3ins (or thereabouts) is not a proper test of roominess. She needs to bring a tall friend along and ask her/his opinion. My view is that the Skoda Superb is superb. I just wish the Volkswagen diesel it uses had a chain cam. I resent paying big money to replace an item which should last the life of the engine. Petty, perhaps, but annoying.
Too big. Passat has better proportions and is still massive inside with a better interior. A4 expensive and cramped by comparison. Superb is for dog owning pensioners.
Vare have to say I’d agree, had a previous gen superb and then new Passat, got rid of Passat after a year. It’s was just so dull and old man that’s how it felt every time I set off. Felt like Victor Meldrew pulling up.
Why does this woman have the most annoying delivery in the history of motoring journalism? A patronising droning voice, and just an endless list of stats
Robz1471 it is easy petrol plus lpg or diesel because superb economy and engine elasticity if you need car for long distance it will be only diesel. Electic cars cause more pollution than diesel through batteries and power stations. Learn first hard economy. Until we do not implement engine for water or of Nikola Tesla Diesel is the best.
Play at x1.25 speed and it sounds normal.
Squats200 😂
Wicked😂😂
Yes her voice gone mad. I thought she was doing a Clarkson impression ironically.
The Superb really deserves it's name....
Surely the Skoda Superb is in the same class as the BMW 5 series and Audi A6, not the 3 series or A4 series. I used to own a Skoda Octavia 4 x 4 and it was easily the equivalent of the Mondeo and A4 and roomier than a 3 series. If considered to be the equivalent of the 5 series and A6 series, the Skoda proves to be exceptional value for money.
it is in the class with Passat and BMW 3 but size is closer to BMW 5
I still don't understand that. I owned a BMW 5 series with all the bells and whistles and have to say that an equivalent Skoda Superb matched if for luxury. In fact, the Superb even had an umbrella in each of the front doors. That was not an option on my BMW.

Why would you compare the Superb to the 3-Series? Because of the price? But isn't the Skoda like twice as big and 25% cheaper?
Georgi Ivanov should have been e class and 5 series.
Dave Baghramian Maybe. But you can buy 2 Superbs for the price of one E-class.
Its competitors are the Ford Mondeo, VW Passat, Opel Insignia. And the premium luxury manufacturers shouldn't be even mentioned.
Correct, this is E-class and 5-series league spacewise...
The bmw is a small car I’m 6’8 can’t fit into the bmw or the superb mondeo is the better Car for tall people and I get 72 mpg on a run with the 2 litre diesel don’t like the VW’s overrated

Awesome car for the money.
Meanwhile Rebecca used to sound genuine, not-so-'scripted' and was humorous... Way too rehearsed now :-(
Miles A Could she sound more bored with the car? Sheesh.
Could you try to speak a bit faster in your reviews? I have to speed up the video for it to sound normal.
Ever been in the back of an A4 or 3 series ? The superb has more rear seat space and boot space than a Mercedes E-class station wagon. The only part where the superb compares to the A4, C - class and 3 series is the price.
@Barthoization even then it is still cheaper significantly
My god why does she have to try & sound like v butler Henderson crossed with tiff needell,talk normally woman :(:(
Can´t wait until my Superb will be delivered. Great review!
Love my superb moved from a e class coupe to a superb estate (due to having dogs) was in split minds between e class estate and the superb. But around where I live mercedes are everywhere. I'm glad I ended up with the superb it certainly is a understated luxury car in my eyes.

Btw if anyone is interested in the size of dogs you can easily fit a a Rhodesian Ridgeback and a German shepherd at the same time.
I have Skoda Superb 2.0TSI 280hp 4x4 Combi for about half a yeat, and find it equal or even better than Audi and BMW.
Like the idea with the engines list and available trims at the bottom of the screen.
Following Rebecca and Matt since Carbuyer, recon both are best in the business.
Great review!
Why is Rebecca talking like a lagging tape player? Quite annoying listening to this voice as if coming from a stretched magnetic tape :P
Why is that relevant?
Just swapped an E class estate for a Superb estate. Much nicer.
Couldnt watch till the end. Voice too annoying!
billduke251273 what song is that she's singing?
Exactly. Her voice going up and done all the time was awful. Surely she doesn't talk like this all the time? Nice car though.
Poison dwarf...to annoying
I literally cannot believe how annoying it is, it's like an April Fools joke.
Seems like she's heeded the criticism. Her newer reviews are much better. Check out her Kia Stonic review for example.
Dead badger at 2:27. Classy.
It's not dead, it's just sleeping......
Superb Estate 4x4 2.0 TDI DSG with leather seats for easier cleaning and a white exterior for heat reflection during summer. The perfect vehicle
Rebecca you and Matt are my favourite and best reviewers ever.
Surely the 3 series and C class are a size smaller. Why compare them as main rivals?
I'm was expecting her to say something like " The next train to arrive at platform 2 will be the 10.28 Virgin Trains service to London Euston".... Her voice is strange to say the best....
Why do all car reviews' sentences tail up at the end? Clarkson has a lot to answer for.
When will car reviews stop giving boot dimensions in litres, its a useless measurement for judging practicality of boot space, what is the maximum length of load? maximum width? and maximum height, it would be far more useful to known that, you might as well be using the international standards such as 1/1000th of a football pitch or 1/50th of a London bus.
Please people. How could you be so mean and disrespectful about her voice? We are all different as human beings. My opinion is that she is very good and professional about her job.
Why do you mention comparing it to BMW 3 series or Mercedes C class? It's much bigger - more should be vs 5 series or E class. It is a huge car!
Comparing the Superb to a 3-series or MB C-class is very strange - this size segment is where Octavia lives. Logically Superb should be compared to E-class, 5-series, A6 & XF.
not a fan of any of those manufacturers but isnt the a6 and e class in a different league in quality and price ?
Dani Wornath, badge-wise these are premium brands, but compare the cars' dimensions + the bells & whistles and u'll see that the Superb L&K edition is a close contender.
There's no way this is in the same class as a 3 series and C class, its at least a 5 series and E class dimensions and on par with S class interior space
I literally bought one the day after watching this
"The exits are here, here and here" - Great car - most annoying car reviewer voice....in the World... .;-)
Simon Evans Same with most car reviewers at the moment, sadly. Sounds like it’s a real chore for them. As an aside, Imagine this one reading the weekly football pools results...
Why do people compare Superb with C class or 3 Series when they are not in the same class. Superb is in the class with E class and 5 series. It is half a meter longer than C class or 3 Series. Stopped watching this review, after Rebecca made that comparison.
Shame you can't opt for larger engines or more premium trim packages, but nice car!
bmw 3 series and merc c class? How can Golf segment cars be competitors to the largest estate on the market?
The car is only the second place in this video which is superb.
How do you compare this to a C Class...E Class maybe if you are talking size
Did she say "lacklustra" ?
I believe she did 😂😂
3:23 She has got to be joking...... this thing is MILES better than BMW or Mercedes in terms of interior quality. The A4 is another three steps above that as well.
Beautiful car presented by a beautiful and knowledgeable reviewer!
Good if you really new the competition in terms of vehicle size and not price.
Which would be BMW 5 series and Mercedes E Class
My god... the voice , the tone....
Comparing it with the 3 series or A4 lol, might as well compare it with the Nissan Micra.
Watched the review on mute- looks like a great car. Please Rebecca, ditch the effected, automated voice. To say it's annoying, is a bit like saying that fish appreciate water.
The problem with the Superb is that the option list is too long.
This car should be compared with the e clas and 5 series in terms of size, bit silly to compare this massive car to the 3 series or the c class
Lacklustra!
I don't want to be critical of anyone's physical attributes that they can't change.... it isn't their fault.......so instead I just have to watch this video on mute using subtitles, and try to forget how she talks.
You really cant Say that the superb is in same class as the v60?! It got bigger bootspace than the v90 and about same as a E-class.
3:53 Range topping..... didn't we also have the SportLine as well as the Laurin&Klement?
I must differ on the subject of the lady’s speech. While I flinched at her pronunciation of ‘lustre’ and found her single example of tautology and use of the word ‘stuff’ a little tedious, the remainder of her speech was clear and modulated in a manner which held the listener’s attention.
There's more space in the superb than most suv's..
I would say its more comparible to the Merc E class, BMW 5 series or Audi A6 as its bigger inside than both. The Octavia is A4, 3 series or C class size.
A little more research before doing this vid would have revealed this.
see how it gets it,s name.
Umbrellas inside the door panels, I have seen those on certain British cars that cost 10 times more.
Oh no, its Quentin Wilson with a different face!
This woman reviewing a car like she's reading the news!
Like a young, female Robert Peston
1:30 My god does it vibrate in the car, it doesn't look like she's got the 19 inch wheels however
Too bad they don't sell these in North America, especially the 2.0 L diesel.
She sounds like she’s trying her best to sound sarcastic with everything she says.
sehr schön!
At 2:46 Is that a dead Badger on the right side grass verge?.
No one talks like that
Is an SUV a spacious car?
Even though she is a fellow American, I can't understand how Prince Harry picked Meagan over his fellow citizen Rebecca. No wonder he won't be king.
He did try, and was politely turned down 🤣
You know the monarchy is given based on how hot your wife is? It's the one that shoots out first wins.
He isn't going to be king because he never 'did is brother in' before he had offspring.
Unmarked Police Car is all that comes to mind lol
full marks for not laughing when referring to " hard things lower down" and "6.5 inch grows to 9.2inch screen" whilst maintaining that condescending delivery
Lot saying your voice annoying for me you can bend my ear any time keep talking Rebecca love it
I lasted about 2 minutes before her voice made me switch off
This car has to be compared to the Mercedes E class, 5-series BMW or Audi A6 - god knows what Rebecca is doing comparing it to the compact 3-series or A4. Also, height awareness!

Don't like when Rebecca is demonstrating. I keep starting at her, instead the car!
2:19. Recommened? Needs changing
Think she's been working with Quentin Wilson for too long. Sounds like she is morphing into him
Why have you dubbed this woman with a robot voice.???
A heel with those boots would have been nice...
Rebecca, indeed, we can do anything in such huge car. ;-p
C. P.A. I like your thinking
Steering wheel is on the wrong side
She is poor, I’d rather listen to that German bloke and I can’t understand half of what he says.
Too big. Passat has better proportions and is still massive inside with a better interior. A4 expensive and cramped by comparison. Superb is for dog owning pensioners.
Van Ged Still i would rather buy a Superb than a Passat, i like its proportions and styling but thats just me. :)
Vare have to say I’d agree, had a previous gen superb and then new Passat, got rid of Passat after a year. It’s was just so dull and old man that’s how it felt every time I set off. Felt like Victor Meldrew pulling up.
J Chs n
Love the car but i dont much lime her tone of voice
Well, she is definetly superb 😏
I love this car - in fact, we've just ordered one, but my God, she really does have the most annoying voice...in the World...
love Your voice ,delivery and you are very nice on the eyes.
Gutsy? a D5 v70 has 200 more torques at 185bhp, that's gutsy. You forgot to mention its BORING AS F.
2.26 - dead badger !!
she is dressed like an airline steward
Would rather a Mazda 6 estate any day!
Really!!! Plastic.
Why does this woman have the most annoying delivery in the history of motoring journalism? A patronising droning voice, and just an endless list of stats
Would prefer it if you didn’t hire an android to do the review.
Why does your voice go up and down like that? It's like you're singing but there's no melody.
Why are all pommy reviewers so lazy and disrespectful when it comes to foreign names? It's Škoda sweety pie.
interceptorm5 Same thinking... :D
Imagine living with her...aaaarrrrgggghhhh
Whatcar. Why still recommend a diesel?
They are much worse for the planet than petrol
Robz1471 it is easy petrol plus lpg or diesel because superb economy and engine elasticity if you need car for long distance it will be only diesel. Electic cars cause more pollution than diesel through batteries and power stations. Learn first hard economy. Until we do not implement engine for water or of Nikola Tesla Diesel is the best.
She sounds like an ex stoner lol
Stop talking
Good good how much makeup
I can’t listen to that voice
Shame the dash looks so dull, bit like driving around in a funeral parlour.
We haven't had Brexit yet.
Eh?
Xplosion51 are you saying the UK is in the closet?
Xplosion51 the propaganda network? I think not!
Utter nonsense.
