Skoda Superb test drive since 2008 -
Test drive in Germany: how the new Skoda Superb devoted Honda Accord and VW Passat

A long tongue, and the sense of little just like that is usually said by the people, when someone gives promises to the left and right, but then he does nothing at all. But when the new Skoda Superb reveals its mouth, it does not smell like empty promises. Yes, and the Czechs do not feed breakfast. The trunk of 1.670 liters is what Skoda boasts. And this is much more than that of Honda Accord or the King of the middle class VW Passat. While the last two candidates have trunk workers built on the model of conventional limousine, Skoda Superb has a special hatch. Opening this hatch, the happy owner of the car falls into the world of unlimited space. In such a trunk you can fit many things that are cumbersome rather bulky in dimensions.


They, although not always with increased comfort, are placed quite easily in the spacious cargo trunk of Superb. Even truly tall and bulky things are placed, such as a surfing board. You will not see this with competitors. The space between the back of the rear seat and the rear window of the body of the Accord does not vary in any way, and the trunk itself is too narrow at the beginning, moreover, 100 liters less than that of Superb. Moreover, the bottom of the trunk in Honda is extremely uncomfortable, it will take a huge number of irregularities and convexities. In the rear, only an area of \u200b\u200bhalf a meter is even.


The distance between the wheels is less than 5 centimeters than Skoda Superb is not critical. The knees behind the sitting passengers do not conflict with the front seats, but a small claustrophobia still begins. The same distance as Passat has an Accord. Despite this, the passengers from behind are not at all comfortable. The rear seats are low, and the panel in the middle takes the last remnants of free space. And although the seats as a whole allow us to sit comfortably, after a long pastime, the back begins to hurt. And all due to the fact that one of the supports presses in the back on the body.
In the aspect of Honda depreciation is better than their competitors only in overcoming brief irregularities. In general, Accord is not very happy on the road. Skoda Superb and VW Passat in this aspect are approximately equal. This is not surprising when the platform is common.
The whole difference in power
While Skoda Superb and VW Passat, the ESP system is used only in those situations where it really needs, Accord requires use even after the situation has passed. But the most important reason for the separation of Skoda and VW from Honda in this test drive is in engine power. The Accord engine is only four horses weaker, but in the end it loses noticeably on the road. The Skoda Superb turbocharger 1.8 liters is perfectly configured and does not leave any desires unfulfilled. Torque of 250 Nm from 1.500 revolutions allows you to briskly start. Acceleration is very smooth, and turns without loss.

192 Nm of torque only from 4.100 revolutions this is not enough. The Honda motor seems very weak. Only a little that he spends about a liter less than other candidates saves him. In general, the situation for the Japanese is hopeless in the battle with Superb and Passat.
The price is less, the trunk and the salon is more precisely what Skoda Superb does today the winner today. VW Passat is an excellent car, but compared to the Czech candidate he is inconsistent today, especially since this folk car is no longer as cheap as before.
