Promoted: How to fit 15,000 balls in a Skoda Superb

Posted by

The new Superb is longer and wider than the previous model, making it one of the largest cars in its class – in fact, it’s large enough to house 15,000 green balls.

While there aren’t many occasions where you’ll actually want to fill a car with several buckets of balls, the demonstration in the video below does showcase just how big the interior of the new Superb is. And the Czech marque’s designers have set out to make that space as practical and useful as possible.

The boot has a capacity of 660 litres, and that can be expanded to 1950 litres when the rear seats are folded.

Several features on the Superb are designed to make that space easy to access and use. These include Virtual Pedal, which allows you to open the boot simply by swiping your feet underneath the rear bumper.

There is also plenty of room for both driver and passengers, with several features to make that space as comfortable as possible.

It can be hard to get a sense of how spacious and comfortable the interior of a car is without sitting in it. But as an admittedly not entirely scientific guide, the interior of the Skoda Superb is big enough to house 15,000 green balls.

We were very impressed with Honda’s new Civic Type R when we tested it on the road earlier this year, but the racing version has also been making waves in the British Touring Car Championship this year. We caught up with Honda Yuasa Racing’s Matt Neal at Silverstone for a drive in the Civic Type R race car.

While the road car isn’t left wanting for power with 306bhp, the BTCC racer has a massive 370bhp available from just 3000rpm. Matt Prior straps in for a drive.

Promoted – Skoda Superb: It’s all in the details

Posted by

Skoda’s new Superb features a series of interior design touches designed to make you smile.

Even with a big car, it’s often the little details that will stick in your mind. That’s because a few small touches can add up to make your life easier and more comfortable.

The interior of the spacious new Skoda Superb features plenty of little details that its designers hope will add up to make a big difference to the lives of those who spend time in it.

For example, the car features an umbrella built in to a special compartment in the door, helping to keep you dry – and make you smile – on a damp day. The electrically adjusting driver’s seat has a built-in memory to store up to three different driving positions, while the containers in the front doors have been especially designed to hold a 1.5-litre water bottle upright.
