WE can scarcely overstate how promising the new Superb Wagon is shaping up to be. On sale now from $40,990 to $57,990, the supersized Skoda at last realises the potential of the vast Volkswagen Group by offering family car buyers a vehicle that aces it for space, comfort, efficiency, refinement, safety, value and – perhaps most unexpectedly – desirability. Imagine a prettier VW Passat with better packaging, or a less-expensive Audi A6 Avant with better ride and steering, and you will get a clearer picture of what this Czech upstart is all about. Whether it is a Mazda6 wagon or a Mercedes E-class Estate you are considering, we recommend you try on the Superb for size before you buy.
