Based on data reviewed by Euro NCAP, a similar level of safety performance can be expected from the following variant: Skoda Superb Combi 2.0TDI 'Ambition'
Adult occupant
The passenger compartment remained stable in the impact. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the front seat passengers' knees and femurs. Skoda showed Euro NCAP that occupants of different sizes, or those sat in different seating positions, would be equally well protected.
The Superb scored maximum points for its performance in the side impact test. Protection of the neck against whiplash injury was rated as marginal.
Child occupant
Based on dummy responses in the dynamic tests, the Superb scored maximum points for its protection of the 1½ year dummy. The passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. However, information provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag is not sufficiently clear. There was no adequate warning of the dangers of using a rearward facing child restraint without first deactivating the airbag. The presence of ISOFIX and top-tether anchorages in the rear outboard seats was not clearly marked.
Pedestrian
The bumper scored maximum points for the protection offered to pedestrians' legs. The bonnet surface provided mostly fair protection in the area where a child's head might hit. However, the bonnet was rated as predominantly poor for the protection offered to an adult's head and the front edge of the bonnet scored no points.
Safety assist
Electronic Stability Control is standard equipment on all Superbs in the model range.
Both front seats have a seatbelt reminder system which met Euro NCAP's requirements.
