Great review of the ŠKODA Superb Scout 200TSI Paul! You asked the question about the centre armrest storage compartment. Well, as you identified in the rear seats, the headrests have the "Smart Holders" for the iPads etc. The compartment in the front actually allows you to store your iPad whilst you are away from the car, to keep them from prying eyes. Keep up the great reviews!!!

Towed a track car on a single axle trailer today with one of these, and OMG! I could not believe how good it was. I normally use a late model Ranger to tow it. The Skoda left the Ranger in the weeds as a towing experience. Well done Skoda.

I've owned a Skoda Octavia SE-L 2.0TDI 150hp for the last 18 Months now, and i really enjoy driving it and love how easy it is to maintain and getting a long term average of 57mpg is absolutely unreal! But, my next car is 110% going to be another Skoda, but to be more precise, the Superb Sportline Estate with the 2.0TDI 150 DSG And that CANTON Sound Pack, is just unreal!! One of thee best factory fit upgrades about..

Obtaining at least 700km per full tank in city driving, with a average fuel of 9.2 over the life time of this car. I am looking forward to taking a Scout for a drive soon. Love Skoda, love the 12 speaker Canton Sound system. I believe that the new models will have wireless Apple Car play. A real must i believe. Great review.. Cheers

I do like this category of car, I owned a Golf Alltrack and replaced it with a Tiguan which is nice but if I had time over I would have purchased the Passat Alltrack demonstrator that was for sale at the same price. I live in the Southern Highlands in NSW and there is usually about 1 day a month where I’m driving on roads that require more road clearance. Skoda like Volvo build great wagons, the Scout would certainly be on my shopping list although I would love a Audi Allroad

UPDATE AT END: Just upgraded for a Passat Alltrack to the 2021 scout. I've had it for nearly 3 weeks now. The car is very roomy, suspension is firm and a little noisy (although I have the 19inch wheels which has a lot to do with it) but overall I'm pretty happy with it. At the last minute Skoda decided not to release the car with DAB or key personalization for some reason. The MY20 Scout doesn't have a factory towbar in Australia but the MY21 does (I'm waiting on ADR compliance to have the dealer fit it) . My only real concern is the fuel consumption. I'm averaging 12.3l/100km which is nowhere near it's stated figures. I drive to work (8 minutes) and pick up my daughter on the way home so I don't travel much. In comparison, my Volvo XC70 weighed 2 tonnes, had a bigger petrol engine and returned about the same figures. The Passat was diesel and averaged 8.8l. I know driving style is a major factor, but my style is consistent so I'll be keeping a close eye on the usage. UPDATE 24/03/2021 I'm still happy with the car but the fuel economy is a joke. On a full tank I get just over 500km to a tank from a car with a 2L 4-cylinder engine. Pretty disappointed and the dealership seemed to just dismiss my concern. I can't help but wonder how they get their official figures.

@Fredescu 3 жыл бұрын
Constant short trips is never good for fuel economy. If your Passat was the 140TDI, it tested urban cycle economy is 6.3L/100km. Your 8.8l result is 39% higher than stated. The Superb has an urban figure of 9L/100km. Your 12.3 result is 36% higher than stated. So your Superb isn't that much different to your Passat. During Covid lockdown, my wife was driving our Grand Cherokee just for very local trips in our suburb, while I was working from home. It was getting 14L/100km in that time. I wondered if something was wrong, but as soon as I went back to the office driving 20minutes each way, that dropped to 11L/100km, despite still being a city commute. That's still high compared to what it gets on the highway. Length of trip and the amount of coasting you can do makes a huge difference.

Absolutely love this thing! Honestly, these wagons along with the Alltracks and Outback are the sensible person's vehicle i.e the one they should buy over an SUV. I am surprised by the Scout's ground clearance though. Only 151mm and my Golf Alltrack has 175mm (still not a lot I know). I am guessing that being a more upmarket vehicle they are not expecting owners to go offroad much!

Hey Paul! Love your reviews. I've never watched so many car review videos in my life until I ran into your channel. I was just wondering how the cabin noise compares to a Kodiaq RS (in Comfort mode rather than Sport so there's no fake engine noise through the speakers) at 100km/h for freeway/highway driving. It could be cool if you had a decibel meter with you on your "on the road" segments so we could get those figures on similar stretches of road at the same speeds.

I had my heart set on one of these, did all my research and was about to sign a contract for one. However as it turns out, the towing capacity is great, but irrelevant, as you can't get a factory fitted towbar. Something to do with Skoda Australia not ticking the box to include the necessary wiring loom or some such. Otherwise I would have one in my driveway right now. I was most disappointed to find this out and Skoda missed out on a sale because of it. I hope they rectify that in their next shipment of cars.

I recently compared Mondeo, Passat, Leon, Avensis, while looking for a station. NONE of them offers such value for this price. Also space - 10cm in Octavia and 20cm more in SuperB is really appreciated, when you need to place a child seat behind without touching the front seats. Did I mention fuel consumption? I could NOT exceed 5,5L/100km on spanish hills 160km/h on a highway. In flat Netherlands at 120km/h cost me max 4L on each 100km. 1.6 greenline diesel. Also yearly tax for Octavia is much less than Mondeo, Passat, Leon, Avensis due to less weight and cleaner engine. Done 15k km in 5 months and have to say already that my next car will be also Octavia, if not SuperB. After 2026, when they can't get into the city centers, I'll be looking for a Tesla ;)

I own a 2016 Passat Alltrack and it's virtually the same car, right down to the buttons. I'm very happy with it except for the pathetic VW customer service as soon as you have issues. I was just about to purchase the 2020 Superb Scout but it turns out you can't get a genuine towbar as apparently the chassis is different to the normal Superb (but it's available on European Scouts). Interesting to note that the 2021 does have the option for a genuine towbar. You can get after-market towbars for the 2020 but they don't fully integrate with the factory electronics. I'm now waiting for the 2021 Scout.

I looked at the Allroad and it's too small, the V90 Cross Country would've been my pick except the price of a new Scout is equivalent to a second-hand Cross Country. If it wasn't for that I'd have done the Volvo in a heartbeat, my last two cars were Volvo and I loved them!

It’s got a 90kg max towball weight. So, no, it’s not going to cope with a 2,200kg camper trailer of the type sold in Australia which typically has towball weights of double that or more.

Too bad Skoda decided to just have the top-spec 200TSI variant at 63k. I believe the previous gen 162TSI was around 50k, which IMO is good value for money and has enough power.

Do Skoda still have the Octavia in Scout with a diesel engine? I think that has more competitors but still offers great value for money.

Damn why not build it with more clearance? Gotta earn that 4x4 badge! Not really going to be a contender to the outback due to this for me, even though the engine is much more impressive.

If I were to get a VAGroup car, I’d go with a Skoda, makes the most sense to me. Bigger than its brothers on the same platform generally, and cheaper. Remember the days when V8 Commodores proudly displayed the 185 badge? Now a two litre has more power... Joke: Have you heard about the new Volkswagen Group model they’re targeting to the cowboy demographic? It’s called the Audi Partner! 😏

150mm ground clearance is rubbish. My 2015 Octavia Scout has 171mm according to specs and I've just been outside and checked it by shoving a 150mm box underneath and seeing approx. 20mm gap. Even my 2008 Vauxhall Astra SRI normal hatchback has about 170mm apart from exhaust box (probably cat under middle of car) which protrudes down to 150mm clearance. Octavia Scout has excellent attack and departure angles at front and rear meaning you can go up steep verges, down steep banks. Even with 170mm I struggled to not ground it out when on deep rutted track with big mound in middle. If you want to go mildly off-road, green lanes, rocky tracks and not just engineered chippings etc you need 200mm to be safe, ideally >180mm. This Superb is not even a soft-roader.
