Is the Skoda Superb not as popular as it used to be?

Hi,

I see very few of the new (2024) Skoda Superb on Irish roads. Is this new version of the Superb not as popular as the previous model?

Hi Noel,

Skoda has already registered 810 of them this year, against 954 registered in the entire of 2024. Here are the figures for further back, for comparison:

2023: 1,325
2022: 746
2021: 925
2020: 939
2019: 1,376
2018: 1,496
2017: 1,746
2016: 1,850
2015: 1,105 (coinciding with the introduction of a new generation)

An increase in the sales of SUVs probably accounts for the overall reduction in the Superb's popularity over the past decade, as has happened with all big cars.
