Skoda Superb 1.6 TDI CR S Greenline II

The latest generation of hi-tech communications kit means that you no longer have to be tied to your desk. Internet-enabled smartphones and 3G-equipped laptops allow businesses to work on the move.

So if you’re doing as much work in a motorway services car park as in your company HQ, what car should you headhunt first? Well, the number one candidate is the Skoda Superb. With its limousine-rivalling rear legroom, the hatchback is perfectly suited to the role of mobile office.

There’s plenty of room to lounge in comfort and spread out paperwork, while a 12V power socket allows you to charge computers and phones.

But there’s more to the Skoda than a spacious cabin. Go for an entry-level S model equipped with ultra-efficient GreenLine II modifications, and you’ll pay just 50.9 pence per mile. Equally tempting for company car users are the low 114g/km CO2 emissions, while claimed fuel economy of 64.2mpg adds to the appeal.

And as you’re likely to spend a lot of time behind the Superb’s wheel, it’s good to know you’ll benefit from a perfect driving position, comfortable seats and low noise levels.

Only the firm ride spoils the sense of calm on board this car. You’ll also be treated to all the must-have kit for a business user on the move, such as air-conditioning and cup-holders, plus there’s lots of cubby space.

When you’re not using the Skoda as an office, you can revel in the car’s poised chassis and well weighted controls. And while the 1.6-litre diesel lacks ultimate firepower, it’s refined and feels gutsy in the mid-range. Turning up to work has never been so pleasurable.
