Space was in abundance on the Skoda stand at Frankfurt. The Czech firm took the wraps off its Superb Estate at the show and its vast 633-litre boot promises to put its rivals in the shade when it hits the UK next Spring.
Folding its rear seats liberates an incredible 1,865-litres of load area, making the newcomer a front-runner in the space race.
The extended roofline of the Estate is neatly incorporated so it arguably looks even better than its saloon/hatchback stablemate. And all models come with roof rails as standard while the big Superb is also available with keyless entry and start, as well as a full-length panoramic glass sunroof.
A powered tailgate, retractable load cover and sliding boot floor also give buyers the option of making the versatile estate even more practical. It will be available with the same range of engines as the existing model, but prices are yet to be confirmed.
Will it carry the same punch as a mondeo or v70???

If the skoda is as good on the road as it is on the stand my Mondeo will have some competition next spring when I go for new
