T


h e r e are not many models that would count their luggage bay as a standout feature.


Plenty have big boots that are worth


or a saloon, the car brings real extra practicality to the party and provides a valuable means of differentiation in a crowded marketplace.


All of which might give the Skoda . :


Superb estate a bit of a problem. This model is exactly the same as the stan­ dard Superb, but without the party- piece boot. Right from the outset there was a lot


to like about the Skoda Superb (we are _ talking about the modern versions here, not the 1930s original). While the idea of an executive car with a Skoda badge would have some image­ conscious individuals running a mile in their Porsche Design driving shoes, others warmed to this big, roomy car with a small price tag. In first generation form, launched in '


2002, the Superb was little more than a Volkswagen Passat with an extended wheelbase. There was no shame in that, but with the second generation model, Skoda took steps to make the Superb feel like a car in its own right. There are still the usual Volkswagen


Group engines and parts in evidence, but the pricing is distinctly Skoda, and in estate guise the Superb looks like even more car for the money. Skoda might be middle ranking star


that the car is deficient in other areas, but it does have a rear end of which it canbeproud. . . Capable of opening like a hatchback


a mention and might even swing the buying decisions of those with a lot of possessions to carry, but very 'few would actively divert interested parties around to the back entrance as an opening gambit, , The Skoda Superb would. It is not

in the automotive firmament, but it is backed by the supernova that is the Volkswagen Group, and that is where the Superb Estate gets its reassuringly .. modern engihe;range. It is the sam^


• line-up as in the Superb saloon, starting with the 124bhp li4-litre TSI unit which is followed by the IGObhp 1.8 TSI. Both oif these are turbocharged petrol engines, but the range-topper is a nprmally-aspirated 3.6-litre V6 with- four-wheel-drive and the DSG twin clutch gearbox fitted as standard. Given that the appeal of the Superb


is centred around low costs and value, the diesel engines should be popular. The lOSbhp 1.9-litre TDI is lookingja • little elderly the^ da^, but it is still a ■ solid entry-level unit. A much better bet is one of the 2.0-


litre TDI common-rail diesels. These come in 140 and 170bhp guises, with the latter churning out a full 350Nm or torque. With this 170bhp engine, the Superb estate can lurch to 60mph in 8.9s arid hit an autobahn-friendly 136mph top speed. The estate version of the Superb


-Volvo V70, Audi A6 Avant, BMW 5 •Series Touring: these are big cars, but they can't equal the capacity of this Skoda. There is 633 litres of room with all of the seats in place, and when they are folded that figure rises to 1,865 litres, larger than some studio flats. - When owners are hoisting all-that.


might not have the clever tailgate arrangement of the saloon model, but beneath its conventional lifting hatch is a luggage area of 'epic prdportiohs; -


the car to help prevent owners blunder­ ing into a giant puddle with an arm full of priceless antiques. An additional light is removable and doubles as a handy LED torch. Away from its vast load area, the


Superb majors in robust build quality and unfussy design. Its short bonnet and high roofline means it is not as sleek in profile as some estate models, but the looks are not going to offend anyone. Inside, the cabin is as comfortable for


a family of four as you will find this side of a luxury saloon. Rear leg room is suf-


'ficient for eyen the gangliest offspring to stretch their legs. The quality of the fixtmes and fittings is as good as any­ thing Volkswagen has to offer and, as a result, better than in almost all the Superb's direct rivals. _ . There are S, SE and-Elegance trim .


cargo inside, they will be glad of the low ; ' loading lip at 600mm and of the light­ ing system Skoda has integrated into the tailgate. This illuminates the boot area and the ground around the rear of


levels available with {K^uperb and equipment levels are prewy good. The S derivatives are fairly utilitarian load- luggers, but there is remote central locking, electric windows, electric heat­ ed mirrors, roof rails, 16-inch alloy wheels and split folding rear seats. Safe­


ty kit on all Superbs includes seven airbags and ESP stability control. The SE is far more like it and well


worth stretching the budget to. There are cornering function fog lights, rear parking sensors, dual-zone air-condi­ tioning and a six CD touch screen stereo. The Elegance gets leather trim and quite a bit more besides, giving the humble Superb Estate a genuine execu­ tive car feel. The Haldex 4x4 system is widely


155g/km of the 170bhp 2.0-litre diesel. It is not a bad showing and to get the


same amount of stuff from A to B, you'd need to make 15 trips in a 67mpg Toyota IQ, so perhaps the Superb


.Estate is something of an eco-warrior after all.


There are lots of 4x4s and MPVs to


available with the Superb estate's more ■ powerful engine options and will bring extra security in slippery road condi­ tions, as well as some additional gravel driveway prowess. The DSG gearbox is another option that deserves to prove popular, as is the panoramic sunroof and the sliding boot floor that extends


, out over the bumper to help when load- - ing heavy items.


ft's a big car the Superb estate and


none of its engines can get over the 50mpg barrier for combined cycle econ­ omy. If you want a powerplant that can cope well with the car fully-laden, the best you can expect is the 48mpg and


tempt family car buyers at the moment, but there is life in the old estate car yet. Skoda’s Superb Estate might not have the fancy boot opening that the brand innovated for the saloon version, but its luggage-carrying potential is vast and,


the rest of the package stacks up very well too. Few cars of any type can carry as


much as the Skoda Superb Estate, but it is more than just raw capacity. The luggage area has been cleverly designed, the cabin space is similarly generous and build quality is as good as you will encounter in a large family car. Skoda is never going to be the last


word in urban cool and I would avoid the less powerful engines if you plan on using the car's full potential, but other­ wise there is not much to fault.
