Comparison: Turning circle Skoda Superb vs. competitors 2025

Ah, the Skoda Superb. This flagship from Skoda has been lauded for its elegance, spacious interiors, and practicality. But let's dive into one less talked about yet crucial aspect—the turning circle. If you're navigating tight city streets or attempting that perfect U-turn, understanding the turning circle of your vehicle can save you from untold stress and multiple Hail Marys. The new Skoda Superb, with its refined engineering and technological advancements, offers a turning circle that you might just find impressive.

Skoda Superb - How has the turning circle changed over the generations?

The turning circle of the Skoda Superb has seen some intriguing shifts over its various generations. The 1st Generation Superb (2002-2008) held steady at 11.80 meters. Things got tighter with the 2nd Generation, introduced in 2008, which brought it down to a commendable 11.50 meters. For the 3rd Generation (2015-2019), the turning circle increased slightly to 11.70 meters, which might have raised an eyebrow or two. However, with the latest 4th Generation (2024-now), Skoda engineers have outdone themselves, bringing it impressively down to 11.10 meters. Ah, the sweet allure of progress!

The turning circle compared to other Skoda models

Within Skoda's own lineup, how does our Superb fare? Let’s crunch some numbers. The Skoda Scala boasts a nimble turning circle of 10.20 meters, as does the titchy Skoda Octavia. Comparatively, the Superb's 11.10 meters lags behind but it still outdoes the likes of the Skoda Kamiq (10.80 meters) and Skoda Enyaq iV (10.90 meters). The Skoda Superb Scout, clocking in at 11.70 meters, feels more like trying to maneuver a barge by comparison. All things considered, the Superb holds its ground quite well in Skoda's stable, balancing spaciousness without giving up too much in agility.

How does the turning circle of the Skoda Superb compare to it's nearest competitors?

Let's put the latest Superb through the crucible of competition. Up against the Mitsubishi Lancer, which has a 12.00-meter turning circle, the Superb looks quite the svelte dancer. Then there's the Fiat Tipo at 10.90 meters, which edges out the Superb ever so slightly. The Mazda 2, with its trim 9.80 meters, can steer circles around the Superb and then some, thanks to its shorter wheelbase and overall length. Meanwhile, the Audi A4 matches the Superb precisely at 11.10 meters, a kind of Teutonic stalemate. The broader picture shows the Superb is neither the nippiest car in the segment nor the bulkiest, standing comfortably in the middle with a fair balance of maneuverability and interior space.
