"An executive car with a powerful, eco-friendly drive"
"The Škoda Superb has a great reputation, and that was only enhanced by the Police taking them as a model of choice. We at DriveLife also love the Superb; it’s a fantastic car; refined, extremely spacious, and drives brilliantly."
"Overall, I was really impressed with my week with the new Škoda iV Wagon Sportline. Sedan or Wagon? Wagon, easily. It just makes the most sense as a daily premium family express with all the practically that goes with it."
"I have to say that I’m a fan of wagons and this one is a cracker. Quick, spacious, modern, efficient and simply clever, this Škoda iV really is a ‘Superb’ EV."
"Despite the Sportline aesthetic, this Superb is softly sprung for a genuinely pleasant gait about town. It’s a big wagon but light steering, a surround-view camera and a non-horrendous turning circle all ease parking duties. And it’s huge inside, the back seat leg room laughable, the boot wide and long."
"As was usual for any Škoda Superb, the ride was near on perfect, the car is very refined and our rear-seat passenger was almost sticking his feet straight out in the back. If you haven’t seen the legroom in a Škoda Superb, you’d be blown away. It’s like a limo back there."
"The Superb has always impressed as a refined, pseudo-luxury large car and the iV simply amplifies that impression. It also amplifies an "e-noise" out a speaker at the front in low-speed running as a safety measure (mandatory for Europe), but otherwise it's a genuinely quiet and relaxing executive express."
"Why would I buy it? You want a capable station wagon that doesn’t cost the earth too badly, or you want an EV without the range anxiety. You also want to trick people into thinking you might be an undercover police officer, like countless Commodore owners have in the past."
"In handling terms, the iV is true to Superb form; steady and solid, with very good ride comfort but not a car to be driven at a great rush. The extra weight is felt and the brake pedal feel during regenerative braking is a bit brusque, but overall it feels beautifully engineered."
