Skoda testers' notes
Neil has the plug-in-hybrid Skoda Superb on test this week - and it's not an estate
Is this the last chance to buy a Skoda Superb? It might be, if rumours about Skoda’s future model plans are true. In the meantime, Neil is trying out one you couldn’t buy before — the Superb Sportline saloon (OK, big hatch) with the 204hp plug-in-hybrid system. It’s smooth, relaxing, beautifully made and “impersonating a BMW” according to one person who commented on it this week. Pricey, mind, so maybe like a BMW in the wrong way.
Our 16-min video and 4,240-word review of the Skoda Peaq EV will be of interest to Irish owners of the Skoda Kodiaq
In the first week of September, Matt attended the international media launch of the Skoda Peaq SUV, the firm’s first electric seven-seater. He drove it on a variety of roads – mostly mountainous – on the Austria-Germany border and came back mightily impressed. His detailed 4,240-word written review and 16-minute video went live on Sunday night once the embargo lifted and they’re well worth a read and a watch if you’re in the market for a big, practical and comfortable family EV. We suspect there will be thousands of existing Irish owners of the Skoda Kodiaq checking it out.
We’re also driving the Skoda Epiq…
Matt's trip to picturesque Austria also included a drive in the new Skoda Epiq EV, the smallest of the company's four electric SUVs and a vehicle related to the Cupra Raval. There's a short embargo on driving impressions, so tune in on September 13 to find out what he thinks of this important new car for Skoda.
