Regarding the weight of the Skoda Superb, I have some personal insights since I paid attention to it when choosing a car. The standard gasoline version weighs between 1,450 and 1,550 kilograms, roughly around 1.5 tons. There are several factors affecting the weight, such as the engine type—diesel versions are usually 100 to 200 kilograms heavier than gasoline ones, while hybrid models might be even heavier due to the battery components. The body incorporates high-strength steel and lightweight materials, so it doesn’t feel too cumbersome to drive, especially on highways where the chassis feels very stable, and the braking distance is short. In terms of fuel consumption, the heavier weight slightly increases fuel usage, with urban driving under mixed conditions averaging around 8 liters per 100 kilometers. Safety-wise, this car performs well in crash tests, and its sturdy body reduces the risk of rollovers. For daily city driving, parking is relatively convenient, as the body size is moderate and doesn’t feel bulky. Overall, it’s best to check the official data in the model manual to avoid discrepancies.
