MANY rivals have come and gone, but seven years after the current model’s launch, few have managed to come close to the Skoda Superb’s all-round ability. The closest comparison in terms of spec to the C5 X is SE L trim; it’s priced at £33,015 when paired with Skoda’s 1.5 TSI turbo petrol engine and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
