Škoda Superb 2014: full technical specifications, engines and owner reviews

Second generation Škoda Superb (codename 3T) The 2014 model year was a logical continuation of the successful line of Czech business sedans, combining German platform quality Volkswagen Group and affordable price. This model, built on the basis VW Passat B6/B7, offered a spacious interior, rich equipment and reliable power units - from economical gasoline 1.4 TSI to powerful diesel 2.0 TDI. In 2014 Superb underwent facelift, receiving updated optics, a modified radiator grille and a modified multimedia system.

The car was positioned as an alternative Toyota Camry and Ford Mondeo, but with more European handling and practicality. A special feature of the model was the huge trunk volume 625 liters (in the liftback - up to 1760 l with the seats folded down), making it ideal for family trips. However, Superb 2014 there were also weaknesses: some owners complained about problems with the dual-mass flywheel on diesel versions after 150,000 km and the high cost of original spare parts. In this review, we will analyze all the technical nuances, compare the configurations and give recommendations on choosing a used copy.

Technical characteristics of the Škoda Superb 2014: dimensions, ground clearance, weight

The 2014 model was offered in two body types: classic sedan and practical liftback (designation Combi). Despite its solid external dimensions, the car remained maneuverable thanks to the precise steering rack and compact turning radius - 10.9 m.

Key dimensions:

• 📏 Length: 4838 mm (sedan) / 4838 mm (liftback)
• 📐 Width: 1817 mm (without mirrors)
• 📊 Height: 1462 mm (sedan) / 1483 mm (liftback)
• 🚗 Wheelbase: 2761 mm (one of the most spacious cabins in the class)
• 🔺 Ground clearance: 155 mm (enough for Russian roads, but not for off-road)
• ⚖️ Curb weight: from 1420 kg to 1650 kg (depending on engine and configuration)

Feature Superb 2014 became a system 4x4 Haldex on all-wheel drive versions, which automatically engages the rear axle when the front wheels slip. However ground clearance 155 mm limited the car's capabilities on bad roads - owners often had to install crankcase protection (article number 3T0 825 365) to prevent damage.

Engines and transmissions: which engine to choose?

In 2014 Škoda Superb It was offered with six power units: four petrol and two diesel. All engines met environmental standards Euro 5 and were equipped with a system Start-Stop in top trim levels. Let's consider each option in detail.

Engine model	Type	Volume, l	Power, hp	Torque, Nm	Consumption (mixed), l/100 km	Transmission
1.4 TSI (CZDA)	Gasoline, turbo	1.4	122	200	6.5	6 manual transmission / 7DSG
1.8 TSI (CDAA)	Gasoline, turbo	1.8	160	250	7.2	6 manual transmission / 6DSG
2.0 TSI (CCZA)	Gasoline, turbo	2.0	220	350	8.9	6DSG, all-wheel drive
1.6 TDI (CRTD)	Diesel, turbo	1.6	105	250	4.8	5 manual transmission
2.0 TDI (CFFB)	Diesel, turbo	2.0	170	350	5.5	6 manual transmission / 6DSG, all-wheel drive

The most popular versions on the secondary market remain those with 1.8 TSI and 2.0 TDI. Gasoline 1.8 TSI is distinguished by reliability (with timely replacement of oil and timing chain), and diesel 2.0 TDI appreciated for its efficiency and high torque. However, the latter has critical problem:

⚠️ Attention! On diesel engines 2.0 TDI (CFFB) after 150,000–180,000 km it often fails dual mass flywheel (original article 03L 105 266 P). Replacing it costs 40,000–60,000 rubles along with work. Signs of malfunction: vibrations at idle, knocking noises when starting the engine.

Transmissions on Superb 2014 also require attention. Manual transmissions (MQ250 for 1.6 TDI) are considered “indestructible”, but DSG robots (especially DQ200 at 1.4 TSI) can cause problems if not serviced in a timely manner. Recommended oil change interval for DSG - every 60,000 km.

Fuel consumption: real figures vs factory data

Official fuel consumption figures from Škoda often diverge from real indicators, especially in the urban cycle. For example, 1.4 TSI consumes according to passport 6.5 l/100 km in mixed mode, but in Moscow traffic jams this figure rises to 9–11 l. Below are real data from owners (average values based on reviews on Drive2 and forums):

• 🚗 1.4 TSI (122 hp) + manual transmission: city - 9.5 l, highway - 5.8 l
• 🚘 1.8 TSI (160 hp) + DSG: city - 11 l, highway - 6.5 l
• 💨 2.0 TSI (220 hp) + 4x4: city - 13 l, highway - 7.5 l
• ⛽ 1.6 TDI (105 hp) + manual transmission: city - 6 l, highway - 4.2 l
• 🔥 2.0 TDI (170 hp) + DSG: city - 7.5 l, highway - 5 l

Fuel consumption is greatly influenced by driving style and the technical condition of the car. For example, clogged air filter (article 1K0 129 620) can increase gasoline consumption by 10–15%. It is also worth paying attention to the tire pressure: when the tires are flat, the consumption increases by 0.5–1 l/100 km.

Options and equipment: what did the official dealer offer?

In 2014 Škoda Superb in Russia it was officially sold in five trim levels: Active, Ambition, Elegance, Style and Laurin & Klement. Basic version Active cost from 1,299,000 rubles and included:

Top equipment Laurin & Klement (from 1,950,000 rubles) added:

• 🌡️ Three-zone climate control Climatronic
• 📱 Navigation system Columbus with 8-inch screen
• 🪑 Electric seats with settings memory
• 💡 Bi-xenon headlights with AFS (adaptive light)
• 🎨 Leather trim Nappa

One of the main advantage Superb 2014 became a system Park Assist, which automatically parked the car parallel or perpendicular. However, this option had a caveat:

⚠️ Attention! Even in top trim levels Park Assist does not work with a trailer. If you plan to tow, you will have to park manually or disable the system through the menu Settings → Driver assistance.

How to activate hidden media features?

In some firmware versions Columbus You can enable speed display in navigation. To do this you need to hold down the button NAV for 10 seconds, then enter the code 3139 (does not work on all models).

Pros and cons of Škoda Superb 2014: owner reviews

According to surveys on Drive2 and Auto.ru, more 70% owners evaluate Superb 2014 "excellent" or "good". The main advantages of the model:

• 👍 Spacious salon — in terms of comfort it is not inferior to class cars E (for example, Mercedes E-Class)
• 👍 Reliable suspension — even after 200,000 km does not require major repairs (with careful operation)
• 👍 Rich equipment - top versions have options that competitors do not have (for example, smart key KESSY)
• 👍 Good sound insulation — at a speed of 120 km/h the cabin is quieter than in Toyota Camry the same year

However, there are also significant disadvantages:

• 👎 Expensive service - original spare parts (for example, turbine for 1.8 TSI for 80,000 rubles) hit the pocket
• 👎 Weak paintwork — the paint on the hood and roof quickly becomes covered with a “cobweb” from small pebbles
• 👎 Electronics problems - often fails climate control unit (article number 3T0 907 044)
• 👎 Oil consumption for 1.8 TSI - after 100,000 km the engine can consume up to 1 l per 1000 km

Owners are especially critical of threshold corrosion. On vehicles operated in regions with abundant use of reagents (Moscow, St. Petersburg), rust appears within 3–4 years. The solution is regular anticorrosive treatment (Dinitrol or Tectyl) and installation of plastic door sills.
