Detailed analysis of the Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI CR 170 CV DPF Ambition DSG (2008-2010)
General description
The 2008 Skoda Superb, in its 2.0 TDI CR 170 HP version with DSG transmission and Ambition trim, presents itself as a sedan that defies expectations. Priced at 29,640 euros at its launch, this vehicle offered a very interesting value proposition, combining the robustness of German engineering with the practicality and space that has always characterized the Czech brand. It is a car that, at first glance, may seem discreet, but hides a surprisingly spacious interior and a powerful and efficient diesel engine.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Superb, the feeling is one of solidity and comfort. The 2.0 TDI 170 HP engine, with its 350 Nm of torque from 1750 rpm, pushes decisively, allowing acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds and a top speed of 220 km/h. The 6-speed DSG gearbox, with its two multi-plate clutches, offers smooth and fast transitions, contributing to a relaxed driving experience but with responsiveness when required. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, filters road irregularities well, providing a pleasant journey both in the city and on the highway. The combined consumption of 6.1 l/100km is a plus for long journeys.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2008 Skoda Superb is elegant and functional, without fanfare. Its lines are clean and timeless, with a length of 4838 mm that denotes its vocation as a spacious sedan. The width of 1817 mm and the height of 1462 mm give it an imposing presence on the road. Its tailgate stands out, offering unusual versatility in its segment, allowing only the trunk lid or the entire tailgate to be opened, facilitating the loading of bulky objects. The interior, although sober, is well finished and offers exceptional habitability, especially in the rear seats, where legroom is worthy of higher segments.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2008 Superb incorporates elements that, for its time, were quite advanced. The 2.0 TDI CR engine with common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo, and intercooler, is an example of efficiency and performance. The 6-speed DSG transmission is an engineering marvel, offering the comfort of an automatic with the efficiency of a manual. Although it does not have the touch screens and connectivity of current cars, its standard equipment includes elements such as stability control, multiple airbags, and an efficient climate control system, ensuring safety and comfort on board.
Competition
In its segment, the 2008 Skoda Superb faced tough competitors such as the Volkswagen Passat, the Ford Mondeo, the Opel Insignia, or the Renault Laguna. Compared to them, the Superb stood out for its value for money, its exceptional interior space, and the versatility of its trunk. Although it perhaps did not have the same brand cachet as some of its German rivals, it offered a very sensible and well-equipped alternative for those looking for a spacious and reliable sedan without having to pay a premium for the logo.
Conclusion
The 2008 Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI CR 170 HP DPF Ambition DSG is a car that, despite its age, remains a very interesting option in the used car market. It offers an almost perfect balance between space, comfort, performance, and efficiency. It is an ideal vehicle for families or for those who make long journeys, thanks to its spacious cabin and its low-consumption diesel engine. Its timeless design and mechanical robustness make it a smart purchase for those looking for a practical and reliable car.
