Today's flagship Chekhov has received such a strong boost that it has no problem entering a niche that really claims to be business class. The main arsenal of the new flagship called Superb is the price, a high-quality approach to assembly and the ability to stuff this Czech to the level of German top models such as Audi A6. And now Skoda has the opportunity to pinch the sides of the A6 in the Avant body thanks to the Superb Combi. By the way, the Skoda Superb in the station wagon is called the Superb Combi. Well, this is the Czechs' positioning...
Skoda's design move for the new flagship turned out to be successful in general - the Superb no longer resembles the Volkswagen Passat. In general, the Czechs have invested so much new things in him that he jumps sharply into the upper echelon, several steps up at once. Skoda, to give it its due, has formed its own style. These are not the "Seatt" tricks of Walter de Silva or Renault's signature avant-garde. Skoda, represented by Superb, has offered a new level of automotive luxury for the average European" for a quite moderate and depreciated currency.
After all, it is at a time of crisis that you should consider which car you are buying in terms of price-performance ratio. So, considering this, the Skoda Superb in a Combi body with an all-wheel drive transmission, a 3.6 liter engine, and an automatic handle is almost the same as the Audi A6 Avant in the same body with a 3-liter turbodiesel and branded Audi&with a Quattro transmission, but with one small difference - not for 80 thousand euros, but for 50 thousand dollars. Feel, so to speak, the shameful situation of victory. At least in this.
Although, objectively speaking, the Superb, even in the back of a Combi, can cause a nervous reaction among burghers from the business class. The dimensions of 4 meters 83 centimeters exaggerate the performance of the Mercedes E-Class. The height of 150 centimeters is at the level of the BMW 7 series. The genetics of Volkswagen's interior and functionality, honed over decades in a free Czech design, are no worse than the original - and in some ways even better.
For example, a herd of cows took part in the interior decoration of the Czech flagship Skoda Superb Combi, since the skin here is real, fragile, it is immediately felt that it is not cheap, since the Czechs in Mlada Boleslav love their leaders in Kiev, meaning the focus group that uses cheap limousines, unlike the white oligarchs&"riding a Bugatti Veyron, bought at retail and at a discount.
If we're talking about price, then this is no less a powerful argument for Superb Combi than a herd of cows. Because a car of this level and volume at a price starting from 35 thousand conditional dollars, even at the commercial rate, is a strong card. True, the top version will take 50,000, but this version has a 3.6-liter turbocharged V6, a DSG sports box and all-wheel drive.
Regarding the complete sets, while Skoda traditionally offers to choose what will please your eye and treat the complexes. The equipment and materials correspond to three versions: Comfort, Ambition and Elegance, and already in the basic list of devices there is quite a lot for which others pay extra.
The Superb car is equipped like any flagship at the highest luxury level, it's not even optional here, but already in the database there are 6 airbags, a navigation system, separate climate control, and a whole bunch of mincemeat - and all this for a basic price price. For extra money, you can buy yourself a so-called Kyse system, i.e. the car starts with a push button, not with a key and is silenced in the same way, and you hide the key in a secret place and never take it out, well, except when you are going to go to bed and wash at night ...
However, during the test you have we periodically had the feeling that we had been slightly deceived with the concept of Combi. Because when driving, it feels like there's a business sedan with a bunch of services underneath you. Smart parking sensors that can park cars on their own, rain and light sensors, navigation with a 30 GB hard drive, bi-xenon, adaptive lighting, heating of different parts of the interior - these are just the main things from the list of optional items that will bring the maximum price of the Superb to almost 50 thousand dollars, and you to a real split personality.
Although, unlike a sedan, a station wagon has 1800 cubic liters of usable volume in the luggage compartment, unless, of course, liters can be cubic, and there is a working volume under the hood, therefore there is 3.6 tenths of a liter of working volume, imagine how powerful this fool from the Young Boleslav is. Turn on the automatic transmission in sport mode and press the accelerator.
This is where this split will be waiting for you. Because Eurocar, the official supplier of Skoda cars, will bring to Ukraine a Superb Combi with two engines: 1,8 TSI with 140 horsepower and an active 260 horsepower V6 to your split, and with all-wheel drive and a sports robot with two clutches. So, the station wagon, which previously seemed like a business sedan, can turn into a rocket. And indeed, due to the engine, the car just shoots forward like a cannon...
Although the Skoda's largest station wagon also conquers others: the fact that the glazing level exceeds the sedan norm, due to the unrealistically spacious interior, where you can sit on any seat with your legs crossed and read a newspaper, due to a bunch of settings and auxiliary stuffing, due to Mozart through 10 speakers of the sound system - due to all this with overwhelming abundance, you realize that the compartment is your personal carriage.
In addition, the sound insulation in the car is quite perfect, in the Skoda Superb Combi you can even talk in a whisper while driving ...
Although let's return to the engine, because for some reason volume and horsepower have an almost magical meaning for Ukrainians. Especially when it comes to a station wagon that makes a hundred in less than 7 seconds and accelerates to 250 kame per hour.
The 3.6-liter V-shaped six-cylinder engine sounds a bit German, Volkswagen-like, although of course, it's definitely a compliment to Skoda, and it drives complimentfully, and it sounds the same.
At the same time, Czech engineers have worked hard to ensure that such power and speed do not turn into an obituary, Superb Combi electronics offers a full range of auxiliary aids, even a modified stability control system.
In addition, there is a very pleasant sharp steering wheel, a thick steering wheel, almost sporty in tactile sensations, and of course 3.6 under the hood and the Superb Combi rolls in Italian winding serpentines just like at home.
The Superb Combi's rear suspension has finally become independent, and this makes riding the Superb very comfortable. After all, they started to appreciate and count money all over again, and therefore, for 50 pieces, even a station wagon will be required to make everything soft and comfortable. Therefore, even the station wagon runs over speed bumps gently and comfortably.
If you do not like the soft and comfortable movement, you can turn on another mode of operation of the transmission - and gas. Literally in third gear, the speedometer is already 155 km/ h, the car has not yet had time to accelerate, it was a powerful jolt, you feel certain aerodynamic noises immediately appear in the cabin, which can be considered as the traditional disadvantages of a car with refrigerator aerodynamics. After all, a station wagon is not a coupe or even a sedan.
This is how we begin to grope for the conclusions of our test. The Skoda Superb Combi station wagon can be all-wheel drive, although it is very far from off-road capabilities. Rather, it is a marketing and self-affirming feature that brings the Combi closer to the status of the Audi Avant.
The all-wheel drive from the Skoda Superb is characterized primarily by the independence of all four wheels.
So, it is the independence of the wheels that can turn the Superb Combi into a freight train with a load of 2 cubic meters. Or in a business car, which is a shame to enter in a suit cheaper than 3 thousand bucks. Or in a high-speed liner, which is only a second slower than the Lancer Evolution.
