AI generated from our expert reviews
Both of these Skodas have firm suspension over bumps at low speeds around town. Out on the motorway, though, the Skoda Superb keeps wind and road noise to a minimum, whereas the Skoda Octavia vRS suffers from quite a lot of tyre noise. Inside, the Superb has a touchscreen infotainment system that is pretty easy to use, while the big screen in the Octavia vRS proves annoyingly fiddly. When you need maximum carrying capacity, the Superb also gives you more space with the rear seats folded down.
