First drive: Skoda Superb GreenLine II Elegance Estate

The estate version of Skoda's most luxurious car to date has won many friends and awards since it was launched last year, with its mix of a huge interior, massive load area and the fact it's great to drive.

Now the Superb Estate is a green option as it's available in GreenLine II trim which means it's fitted with a 105PS, 1.6-litre TDi that's capable of 64.2 mpg with CO2 figures of just 114 g/km.

More impressive is that despite all the space the Superb GreenLine II falls into Band C and road tax costs a mere £30 per year.
