The Superb never had a problem with space but for 2015 it gets even more. It's also lighter, cleaner, more frugal and better equipped. The Superb is a car with a confusing brochure. Flicking through the dimensions and equipment pages convinces you you're dealing with a large executive. However, turn to the price list and the numbers don't stack up, because Skoda is adamant it can sell you one for family car money.The previous Superb's trademark feature was its segment-defying rear legroom. Amazingly, the new model is wider than before, as well as longer with a longer wheelbase. Despite this, its more advanced MQB platform means it's a considerable 75kg lighter, too.This recipe of big space for small outlay has seen more than 42,000 people sign up for a Superb in the UK since 2002; not a volume seller but an important one nonetheless. An estate is on the way, along with an ultra clean and frugal GreenLine model. Here, though, we drive the hatch in best-selling diesel manual flavour. Its competitive pricing and big cabin give the Superb a wide spectrum of fleet-biased rivals, but it's ultimately the likes of Ford's Mondeo, Volkswagen's Passat and BMW's 3 Series that Skoda will want its new Superb to be elbowing out of the way.
