The biggest brain towards the body of all living things on the planet has an ant. Proved by science. The biggest trunk in the universal D-class at Skoda Superb Combi. Proved suitcases.
The insatiable compartment of the black cosmic hole absorbs the inconspicuous number of items. In a wide and low population with a whistle, several sweaty sacques, paintings, baskets and other cards are almost on the scenario of Marshakovsky baggage. And this is not only a game of imagination based on children's classics: in the standard 633 liters of volume, a bunch of Skarba really fits easier than in the head. Theoretically, even the remaining not among the affairs of the poetic sofa, the folded rear seats form a flat area of \u200b\u200b1916 mm long, increasing the capacity up to 1865 liters. Alas, that time nothing, even remotely reminiscent of the mentioned element of the interior, it was not there. But the chance to shove it for sure.
Isn't it not enough? Roof rails will help you. By the way, they are already in the basic configuration. So it remains only competent and safely organize the inner space.
No problem! For placement and consolidation of the booties, various adaptations of the type of aluminum guides, hooks and grids that will not allow things to arbitrarily dispersed through the cabin. There are a couple of truly practical solutions. For example, Falsefol, which put forward on the bumper, facilitating the loading and keeping the lower part of your wardrobe is unnoticed. Or the horizontal curtain of the luggage compartment, automatically folding when the rear door is opened, if the latter is equipped with an electric drive. Such beams clearly appear only for extra charge or in richly equipped versions of the model.
A similar fate expects other pleasant excesses: an umbrella in a special niche of the left rear door, a panoramic roof, resting legs of passengers, navigation, an electronic system of invisible access to the car and start the engine named Kessy (Keyless Entry, Start and Exit System). By the way, her debut took place on Skoda Superb Combi. But the unimaginable space of the cabin (nais back, really completely pull the legs), comfortable seats (with bright side support and multiple adjustments ahead and profiled from behind), thoughtful ergonomics (each key is logical where it is convenient to use it) and high-quality finishes are guaranteed already in Base. As a soft, but the collected suspension, which only timidly reports about the small waves of the road surface, skillfully paint with more significant fears of turbulent and cuz rolls. In addition, the Superb Combi is just any expensive to watch.
Subjectively, the wagon looks harmonious Sedbaque Superb, whose feed seems a bit heavy and disproportionately short due to wide rear racks. In addition to aesthetics there is a practical aspect: the visibility back has improved. The appearance of the car became more assembled, there was a feeling of support and pronounced dynamism, and the rigor of the image of the model diluted the chance of sportiness. And in general, it looks COMBI is less officially. But still expensive and implausible for this brand prestigious. The Spirit of Azart is dosed and in the controllability of the model. In the famous, visiting Otchen Volkswagen, degree. No suitcase clumsy: Superb Combi with ease storms turns, staying on the trajectory and barely noticeably damaging. About some kind of misfortune speech, of course, does not go, but also the fresh behavior of the overall and massive (over 1500 kg) wagon you can not call. Everything is typically in Volkswagenovsky: accurately and controlled, correctly and safely, with a quick appeal to ESP. A pretty soft steering wheel with an electromechanical amplifier, comfortable with measured riding, with an increase in speed becomes more hard and acquires pleasant sharpness. It is quite sufficient not to annul the nervous nucleus during maneuvering and at the same time provide adequate responses to driving actions.
In the line of motors, three gasoline and two diesel engines. The fate of the latter in our market will traditionally be solved indefinitely. By virtue of acquaintances who have stuffed not one ordinary, reasons. Therefore, during the Skoda Superb Combi sample in Italian Earth, it was decided to fall into gasoline extremes: take the most quiet and most powerful modifications. Defeated irrationality. The wagon with a 260-strong V6 FSI volume of 3.6 liters, a 6-speed DSG and a four-wheel drive was pleased with acceleration, dynamics, alive responses to the accelerator and a completely acceptable fuel consumption promise a little more than 10 liters per hundred in the combined cycle. Version with a motor 1.4 TSI with a capacity of 125 liters. with. and 6-speed mechanics expected modest: 100 km such Superb Combi spends less than 7 liters of the 95th. Modest and other parameters. Turboopluses of excellent TSI technology are unable to reimburse a tangible shortage of horses. The sluggish responses to the accelerator are unlikely to add pleasant minutes to a more or less active driver. And after a series of sad overtops and stipulated accelerations, even healthy efficiency seems less positive.
