Well, we’ve got our hands on both, and Mat’s about to put them through a series of tests to see which offers the best value for money. When it comes to the design, the Rolls-Royce just oozes luxury, even if it is 18 years old. The large grille up front is made of real metal, and the size of the bonnet just gives it great presence on the road. Granted, it may only have xenon headlights, but what do you expect on an old car like this? As for the design of the Skoda, it’s not a bad-looking car, but it just doesn’t have the presence or elegance of the Rolls. If anything, with it being in black like we have here, it seemingly just flies under the radar. On the inside, the Skoda is a nice car to sit in, especially in this Laurin & Klement edition. It has the latest Skoda tech, good build quality, and this L&K edition has a bespoke steering wheel, special seats, and wood on the dashboard! But this quality is nothing compared to the quality of the Rolls. There is leather absolutely everywhere, loads of room in the front and the back, and any switch or button just feels expensive. There are several special touches inside too, such as screens for the rear passengers, and a built-in mobile phone - even if it is an old Nokia! The Skoda is powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel that produces 190hp and 400Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed auto gearbox. As for the Rolls, it’s powered by a massive 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 that creates 460hp and 720Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed auto. So, is the all-new Skoda a better purchase than the Rolls? Or should you choose this 18-year-old luxurious cruiser instead? Stick with Mat to see for yourself! Huge thanks to A. W.
