Skoda Superb VS Volvo V90 - Fifth Gear Shootout | Fifth Gear

[@ds2332]

The problem with Fifth Gear and one of the key reason I dont watch that many videos is you guys treat every car like a Ferrari. If I am interested in an estate car, the last point I want to know is how it corners, dampers and any G meter, but on the boot capacity. So come on guys !!

[@Colin623]

Yes that's so right, why do these idiots always judge a car on how fast it goes around a track, why not think about aspects of a car for a change.. Comfort test, ease of everyday use test, cruising test, satisfaction test, ease of loading test, after all they are estate cars !!

[@Hinchy1a]

Agreed

[@jezd8841]

Because they're car people. It's always thus.

[@ondrejjanoska660]

Very true.

[@RH-nk7eo]

At the heart of it I think it's to appeal to men who know they need a practical family car but deep down want something that can feel slightly sporty too, which is what these specific models are appealing to with their top end engine lines.

[@shroomyesc]

Doesn't Volvo have even faster engines on offer for the V90? Although maybe they're not available in the UK, who knows.

[@AStick3Pedals]

[@samr5043]

[@denon7474]

Yeah T6 and T8 are both available in the UK. Probably didn't test it against the Superb because of the price already being so much more. Ofc the Volvo is in premium category, against BMW, Audi and Mercedes, and the Superb is against normal cars like Vauxhall, VW, and Ford

[@4240cameron]

[@Aviation_Everything]

If you would have chosen the V60 T5, you would have saved 13.000 euros, this means 3000 euros less than the skoda which you can spend on the Four-C suspension system, for sportiness as well as comfort options and Polestar Optimization to bring the 0-100 down to 6.6. Even if you would have chosen the T6 AWD (300hp AWD), 0-100 in 5,6 sec which is 0,1 sec faster than the skoda and you would have saved 11.000 euros compared to the same trim V90 T5. If you would have chosen the V60, the dimensions would have been way more similar.

Not really sure what the point of this shootout was. The top line Skoda vs the lowest V90 (there are T6 and T8 Powertrains available). AWD v FWD , both models are available with both configurations. If it was “hey you can get a Skoda that’s way way way cheaper” then spec the V90 appropriately and compare the over £20k+ cost difference but you will see the V90 come out faster

[@pete3198]

The point is that the Superb really cannot be touched as an all-round estate package for the money. It has class leading interior space, class leading luggage space, class leading performance, and class leading refinement. I've taken one of those Superb's for a test drive and it is a truly spectacular package. If you need a car that can do absolutely everything very well without costing small fortune, the Superb is without peer.

[@ahmet6144]

It's comparing things of the same price. Ofc the v90 top spec will smoke the Skoda but it costs a lot more so what is there to compare? For a buyer with a budget in mind this type of test is the best

Real value of this car is not on the race track. There are some other values for station vagons rather then speed drive.

[@mark196233]

I had a Volvo V70 and loved it. Now I've got a Superb and I love it more.

[@pete3198]

I bought a 2016 Audi S3 a couple of years ago, and before I bought it I test drove a brand new Superb Sportline (in sedan form). I didn't intend to test drive it because firstly it was out of budget, and secondly I didnt think it would be sporty enough for my taste. But the guy at the dealership wanted an excuse to drive it so he practically begged me to take it out for a drive. So I did! And I have to say, it was a really, really nice thing. It certainly isn't the most agile thing in the world - you DO feel the size of the car. But it's the smoothest, most comfortable and effortless driving experience ive ever had. The DSG gearbox is much smoother and more refined then the one in my S3, and the car is so smooth and quiet that when you put your foot down you dont really FEEL like you're moving that quick...until you look at the speedoeter and realise just how quick you are going. The car is so roomy and the seats so comfortable that you feel ike you're sitting in gold class at the cinemas, and if you put it in sport mode the car actually turns impressively flat and has very little noticable bodyroll. In comfort mode it feels like a limosine. I should also mention that Infotainment system is probably the best ive ever used in any new car - great high res graphics, very easy to use, and one of the few cars with wireless Android Auto / Carplay. I actually drove an A4 2.0T Quattro as well, and while the A4 looks great inside and out, the Superb was a better thing to actually drive in almost every way. The Superb impressed me so much that I ended up taking out a lease on a Skoda Octavia RS245, and I have to say it's been incredibly impressive as well. I still have my eye on a Superb Sportline once my Octavia lease expires. It might well be THE best value car in the world.

Fifth Gear never does any comparisons fairly, it's I'm sure weighted to one more then the other, or more to the point is who gives the tester the bigger freeby's.

[@pete3198]

How can you do it fairly? There is no large Estate car on the planet that can touch the Skoda's performance and overall track capabilities for the money. For them to pick a Volvo that came closer to matching the Skoda's performance they would need to pick something far more expensive, in which case it wouldn't be a fair comparison for the Skoda. Edit: Sorry, I'm wrong - there is ONE Estate car that is comparable to the Skoda, and that wold be the VW Passat 4Motion wagon, which actually has the same basic platform and drivetrain. But that is basically the same car in a different set of clothes, so it woudl probably be fairly pointless doing that comparison.

Premium brands depreciated recently and they do not deliver any meaningful advantage. Still, there are some criteria you cannot measure nor directly observe in any such “test”. Volvo has been always a company building solid cars, solid but not always reliable , facing some issues with electric systems. Safety is class leading and real safety is unbeatable. Both passive and active. The Skoda may have some systems on board but the way they work is not in the same league as on the Volvo. Skoda is big but hollow, far from solid definition. Not in the same league as the Volvo and other premium cars. Track time difference is minor and statistically irrelevant. Different drivers would come up with different results. Sport version (by Polestar ) of the Volvo, even with same engine, would deliver slightly better results.

You'll get softer leather, softer carpets and a bit less noise in the Volvo but in terms of bang for your buck.....there aren't a lot if cars that can match the Superb.

[@tea_and_crumpets6919]

That's not even a question, of course the Volvo is vastly superior. And I say that as a Czech.

[@vengeance86]

I love both,

[@BrunoMaxim]

But this Volvo has bad engine.. In the V90 you can have T6 or T8 with 405HP.

[@СтепанАндреев-ы8ы]

Кто выиграл?

[@stevecooksley]

Why didn't they use the T8? That would have blown the Skoda away.

[@pete3198]

Because it would be nowhere near comparable on price.

[@paulrichardson3222]

Skoda 4 wheel drive v 2 wheel drive Volvo not exactly a good comarison, why did you not pit the Volvo V90 CC 4 wheel drive up against the Skoda, that would have made more sense.

[@Colin623]

Volvo V60 T5 AWD better match, price much closer, but same Volvo quality and safety.

[@joakimfinstad678]

Why you not driving the T8? 307hp

[@vnsolbk]

its more like 407 in the 2020 my

[@stevenvater8720]

Affordable estate?? Volve costs a fortune

[@joepjazz]

What strange tests these are...no one wants this driving style, right? Then my wife and children have to throw up after 5 miles.. go around the circuit with a BWM or Audi, but not with these station wagons

[@laddtryck]

both are great cars but vag cars feel cheap to me

[@rocket91940]

You'll love the Volvo because it's a technologic and beautiful car but you'll choose the Skoda because of the price and it's unmarked police car look.

[@vnsolbk]

love your profile pic 🤣

[@r.t.production5517]

They should take a V60 T5 RD to complete with Superb

[@clinteagles4925]

Who buys estates to race around a track?

[@GG-ml3vr]

Touring car drivers in th1990s

[@zionholmberg9404]

Why the V90? The V60 would be more logical

[@ingeborgsjon]

Because the V60 is a smaller car than the Skoda Superb.

[@jordanthomson7682]

good descriptions :)

[@brianglendenning1632]

I have had a ‘17 Superb Sportline since new and have done about 96000 km - great car. Needs stiffer suspension and could use another 25 or 30km. It can be driven quickly - needs to be tipped in late. Happily fits a large dual suspension 29” mtb without removing a wheel.

[@Victor-DOOM]

Volvo for me

[@SuperWolffie]

Beter a comparison between the Superb and a V60. The V60 is a bit cheaper than the V90 and a bit more sportier....

[@daynight8406]

Škoda 😍

[@mihajlojovic983]

Skoda is the best
