AI generated from our expert reviews

If you want a fast and practical family wagon, both of these cars provide smooth adaptive cruise control systems that make motorways relaxing. When it comes to all-out practicality, the Skoda Octavia vRS Estate has the edge: its 640-litre boot is slightly larger than the 620 litres found in petrol versions of the Cupra Leon Estate, and the Cupra does not hold a candle to the Skoda for rear-seat room. However, Cupra gives you greater peace of mind on the ownership front, offering a five-year or 90,000-mile warranty compared with the Skoda's average three years or 60,000 miles of coverage.
