First Drive: Skoda Superb Estate

What is it?
The Superb Estate is an updated version of Skoda's well-regarded load-lugger. With a variety of economical engines to choose from, as well as unparalleled interior space, the Superb Estate is aimed at those who want to transport a family and the entire contents of their house. We'll take a look at the SE L Executive model.

What's under the bonnet?
This particular Superb is powered by a 2.0-litre engine producing 147bhp. Althought the 0-62mph is relatively sluggish at 8.9 seconds, the consumption figures are impressive – the Superb returns a combined figure of 67.3mpg with power fed through a six-speed manual gearbox.
