Skoda Superb: New vs Used Comparison

Published on 18 August, 2025

Two Superbs, one big question: do you go brand-new or pocket some change with the previous generation?

Overview

We put a brand-new Skoda Superb up against a well-kept 2019 to see where your money actually goes. Space and comfort are classic Superb strengths on both, so the real differences are value, tech and peace of mind. The 2019 brings serious bang-for-buck and slower depreciation; the new car adds the latest safety and infotainment, full warranty cover, fresher cabin tech and that “first owner” feeling. If you’re budget-smart, the 2019 is a lot of car for less. If you want the newest kit and zero-history ownership, the new one makes its case.

  • Real-world cost comparison (purchase, depreciation, warranty cover, likely running costs)
