Compare the Volkswagen Passat vs Skoda Superb Estate
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Skoda Superb Estate and the Volkswagen Passat make relaxed long-distance cruisers, with little wind and road noise to deal with at higher speeds. Where they diverge around town is their low-speed ride: the Superb's suspension feels quite firm over potholes and speed bumps, whereas the Passat's soft setup means you will barely notice lumps and bumps in the road. Inside, the Superb features three physical rotary knobs beneath the central screen for functions like temperature control, while in the Passat most climate settings must be operated through the touchscreen. If you cover high mileages, Skoda still provides diesel engines for the Superb Estate, but Volkswagen no longer offers diesel power anywhere in the Passat line-up.
