Top Sedans at Auto Expo 2025: Mercedes-Benz CLA Concept, Skoda Octavia vRS and More

The 2025 Auto Expo featured some eye-catching sedans, such as the new Skoda Octavia vRS and the MG 7 Trophy. Let’s dive into the details of these impressive models.


<p>Skoda's third-generation Superb sedan,&nbsp;brought&nbsp;to India as a CBU (completely built unit) in April 2024, is currently being offered with massive benefits of&nbsp;up to Rs 18 lakh, thanks to some excess inventory at select dealerships. That includes cash discounts and insurance benefits, bringing the effective price of the Skoda Superb down to around Rs&nbsp;36 lakh from Rs 54 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom). While the existing Superb was launched in a limited run of 100 units, some unsold vehicles are still available for purchase. Note that the discounts shall be valid for a limited period and vary depending on the availability.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Skoda offers the sedan in a single, fully loaded L&amp;K variant. At Rs 36 lakh (ex-showroom), the CBU&nbsp;Super is&nbsp;similarly priced to the locally assembled unit, which Skoda discontinued in April 2023 due to the stricter BS6 Phase II emissions norms. Over the locally assembled model, the current Skoda Superb adds&nbsp;park assist (with a 360-degree camera),&nbsp;dynamic chassis control, an active tyre pressure monitoring system, and nine airbags. The last three are standard equipment. The Superb also gets a larger 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system as well as an&nbsp;ADAS suite with features such as&nbsp;adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Skoda Superb: Powertrain, Rivals</h2>

<p>Under the hood, the Skoda Superb has a&nbsp;BS6 Phase II-compliant, 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine paired with a&nbsp;7-speed DSG automatic gearbox. The engine is tuned to produce 187bhp and 320Nm of peak torque, enabling the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 7.8 seconds.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Superb directly rivals the Toyota Camry (Rs 48 lakh, ex-showroom) in the segment. Speaking of, Toyota launched the ninth-generation Camry sedan in early December in&nbsp;India. The new Camry is based on the TNGA-K platform and features a&nbsp;petrol-hybrid powertrain—a 2.5-litre petrol engine&nbsp;with Toyota’s fifth-generation Hybrid System. The setup is capable of making a combined 227bhp. Fuel efficiency is&nbsp;ARAI-certified 25.49km/l.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Skoda is also working toward expanding&nbsp;its India portfolio by bringing in&nbsp;the new Kodiaq&nbsp;SUV, which is anticipated to launch in mid-2025. The Kodiaq will adopt the company's 'Modern Solid' design language and have more interior space. The same 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine will continue though.&nbsp;</p>


Skoda Superb Gets Year-end Discounts of up to Rs 18 Lakh in India

The third-generation Skoda Superb is priced at around Rs 36 lakh (ex-showroom), which is similar to the previous-generation model.

<p>The ninth-generation Toyota Camry is finally here,&nbsp;with an efficient and powerful engine, and advanced amenities.&nbsp;It continues to compete with the Skoda Superb, another key player in the premium sedan category.&nbsp;We’ve carefully compared the specifications of these two premium&nbsp;sedans to help you decide which one is the best option for your needs and preferences.</p>

<p><img alt="Skoda Superb " height="720" src="/uploads/2024/04/Skoda-Superb-.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<h2>Toyota Camry vs Skoda Superb: Powertrain</h2>

<p>The Camry has a 2.5-litre petrol engine paired&nbsp;with the brand's advanced fifth-generation Hybrid System (THS 5),&nbsp;producing a combined 227bhp—an increase of 12bhp over its predecessor.&nbsp;The torque stands at 221Nm.&nbsp;While the gearbox duties are handled by an eCVT transmission, the car has three selectable driving modes (Eco, Sport, and Normal). Remarkably, it now achieves an impressive ARAI-rated fuel efficiency of 25.49 km/l, which makes it more economical than ever.</p>

<p>In comparison, the Skoda Superb is powered by a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder TSI turbocharged petrol&nbsp;engine that generates 187bhp and 320Nm and is mated to a 7-speed DSG gearbox, which channels power to the front wheels.</p>

Toyota Camry vs Skoda Superb Spec Comparison: What's Different?

Let’s take a closer look at how the new Toyota Camry compares with the Skoda Superb on a range of parameters.

<p>Skoda Auto has added a new variant to the fourth-generation Superb sold abroad. It is called the Sportline and, as the name implies, it is the sportier version of the Superb. Apart from being athletic, the new Superb Sportline is feature-rich as well as rides 15mm lower than the rest of the Superb range, thanks to a sports chassis.&nbsp;Dynamic Chassis Control is offered as an optional extra.</p>

<p>To begin with, the Skoda Superb Sportline comes in two body styles: sedan&nbsp;(Hatch) and&nbsp;estate (Combi). On the outside, the Sportline is marked out by blacked-out elements, including the radiator grille frame, window frames,&nbsp;mirror caps, side skirts, and diffuser. The Skoda badging at the back is also finished in gloss black.&nbsp;While the Superb Sportline sedan&nbsp;has a black strip on the tailgate diffuser, the estate gets&nbsp;black roof rails.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt=" Skoda Superb Sportline Variant" src="/uploads/2024/08/-Skoda-Superb-Sportline-1-.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

While that is standard, there is also an optional Suite Sport Design Selection with AGR-certified ergonomic sports&nbsp;seats adding heating,&nbsp;ventilation, and massage functions. Other bits include stainless steel pedals, ambient lighting, a 3-spoked sports steering wheel with the Skoda badging, and a 13.0-inch infotainment system.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

The Indian automaker won't be making any changes to the engine lineup and might continue with the 1.5-litre diesel and 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engines.</p>

<h2>Toyota Taisor</h2>

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/toyota/">Toyota</a> is going to launch its first model this year, another rebadged Maruti Suzuki car. The <a href="http://www.autox.com/news/car-news/toyota-taisor-based-on-maruti-suzuki-fronx-to-debut-in-india-on-april-3-116519/">Taisor, set to arrive on the market on April 3</a>, will be the Japanese brand's fourth rebadged Maruti vehicle in India. It is anticipated that the Taisor SUV will retain the majority of Fronx's design features. But Toyota is probably going to alter the alloy, bumper, and grille layouts. The Toyota emblem and the Urban Cruiser Taisor badging are two obvious modifications. Under the bonnet, Toyota will likely employ the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated (NA) petrol mill found in the Fronx in addition to the 1.0-litre Booster Jet turbo unit. Toyota might pair the Taisor with a hybrid drivetrain. Along with the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/fronx/">Fronx</a>, the Taisor will face off against the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/hyundai/exter/">Hyundai Exter</a> and the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/tata/punch/">Tata Punch</a>.</p>

<h2>Tata Altroz Racer</h2>

<p><img alt="Tata Altroz Racer Bharat Mobility Expo" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/02/Tata-Altroz-Racer-Bharat-Mobility-Expo.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>Following its debut at the Auto Expo over a year ago, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/tata/">Tata Motors</a> is expected to&nbsp;launch the Altroz Racer in April. It is a more potent variant of the Altroz iTurbo and standard Altroz hatchback. It is driven by a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol unit with a maximum torque of 170Nm and 120bhp of peak power. Additionally, a new gearbox with a six-speed transmission will offered with the model. One of the most significant design modifications to the <a href="https://www.autox.com/hatchback-cars-in-india/">hatchback</a> will&nbsp;be the inclusion of race graphics. When it comes to the interior, bucket seats with a racing theme and a larger screen are on the list of updates as well. Upon launch, the new Tata model will compete against the likes of the Hyundai i20 N Line.</p>


Upcoming Car Launches in April 2024: Toyota Taisor, Skoda Superb, Mahindra XUV300 Facelift and More

April will witness the arrival of some of the much-awaited models from major brands like Toyota, Skoda, and Tata Motors. So, if you are planning to buy your next car, here's a look at all the new options coming your way next month.

<p>With the relaunch of the flagship Superb sedan in India, Skoda is poised to make a dramatic comeback.&nbsp;A recent media report&nbsp;states that&nbsp;the Czech automaker will introduce the updated Superb in our country&nbsp;on April 3, 2024. Skoda India discontinued the&nbsp;sedan&nbsp;in June last year due to declining sales figures.&nbsp;Notably, the company&nbsp;will be relaunching the Superb in its third generation.&nbsp;The sedan is anticipated to be offered in a single top-spec Laurin &amp; Klement model with improved features and updated&nbsp;ADAS technology. The car&nbsp;previously arrived here&nbsp;as a CKD model, produced at the company's Aurangabad facility. However, this time around, Skoda intends&nbsp;to enter the Indian market with the B8 generation Superb by using the Completely Built Unit (CBU) route. Presumably, this version will have high-end equipment like 17-inch Stratos alloy wheels for a sporty look, LED fog lamps with cornering function, and adaptive auto LED headlamps.&nbsp;Three&nbsp;colour options—Rosso Brunello, Water World Green, and Magic Black—will be available for the car.</p>

<h2>Skoda Superb: Powertrain Options</h2>

<p>Earlier this month, the <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/new-gen-skoda-superb-marks-global-debut-gets-design-updates-and-more-tech-115135/">new-gen Skoda model made its debut in the UK</a>. The Superb is available with a wide range of powertrain options for the global market, including a 1.5-litre&nbsp;plug-in hybrid, mild hybrid, and 2-litre TSI turbocharged petrol motors, as well as a 2-litre TDI diesel mill.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine complies with BS6 Phase II norms. The unit develops 188bhp of maximum power at 4,200-6,000rpm and 320Nm of peak torque at&nbsp;1,450-4,200rpm.&nbsp;It is&nbsp;coupled with a seven-speed DSG twin-clutch gearbox on the transmission front. The car takes&nbsp;7.8 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Skoda Superb: Interior and Safety Features</h2>

<p>With amenities like the 13-inch&nbsp;infotainment system with&nbsp;Wired Smart Link, ventilated 12-way electrically adjustable front seats, a driver's seat massage function, and a 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit, the Superb's interior will provide an opulent experience. Furthermore, a&nbsp;3-zone automatic&nbsp;climate control system, an 11-speaker Canton sound system, and wireless charging are also available to passengers.</p>

<p>In terms of safety tech, the model&nbsp;will have&nbsp;adaptive cruise control, emergency braking assist, park assist with a 360-degree camera, an active tyre pressure monitoring system, and dynamic chassis control. There will also be nine airbags, offering&nbsp;sufficient&nbsp;protection for the occupants.</p>

<h2>Skoda Superb: Expected Price</h2>

<p>The ex-showroom price&nbsp;for the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/superb/">Skoda Superb</a> ranged from Rs 34.19 lakh to Rs 37.29 lakh when it was last offered in India.&nbsp;However, given that the model&nbsp;will now be completely&nbsp;imported, it will become more expensive. Pricing is anticipated to fall around&nbsp;Rs 55&nbsp;lakh.&nbsp;The maker might&nbsp;begin local production of the Superb at a later point, potentially lowering the price by a&nbsp;small amount. Upon its return, the&nbsp;sedan&nbsp;will continue to compete with the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/toyota/camry/">Toyota Camry</a>, which is presently priced at Rs 46.17 lakh (ex-showroom).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Following the Superb's arrival here, <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/skoda-superb-octavia-sedans-to-be-reintroduced-in-india-soon-heres-what-we-know-so-far-116574/">Skoda intends to introduce the awaited&nbsp;Octavia sedan&nbsp;in India.</a> Both models are&nbsp;anticipated to breathe new life into our country's premium <a href="https://www.autox.com/sedan-cars-in-india/">sedan</a> market.</p>


Skoda Superb to be Relaunched in India On April 3; Here's What We Know So Far

The Skoda Superb is available with a wide range of powertrain options for the global market, including a 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid, mild hybrid, and 2-litre TSI turbocharged petrol motors, as well as a 2-litre TDI diesel mill. 

<p>Indian car enthusiasts will be thrilled to learn that popular&nbsp;performance&nbsp;sedans, the Skoda Superb and the Octavia, will come back to our shores&nbsp;soon.&nbsp;The Octavia and Superb were discontinued in India on April 1, 2023, and June 5, 2023, respectively. The main cause of this move from the firm&nbsp;was the declining sales. Now, the models&nbsp;will be reintroduced into the market by mid-2024, according to Skoda India.&nbsp;Since local assembly requires lengthy preparations, such as long-distance emissions testing, the manufacturer&nbsp;is initially considering importing both sedans.&nbsp;This implies that the high costs are probably going to stay that way.</p>

<p>The maker&nbsp;has announced that it would make a comeback with the Superb. The car&nbsp;is anticipated to arrive in showrooms in the opulent Laurent and Klement trim by mid-year.&nbsp;While an exact date for&nbsp;Octavia's comeback to our market&nbsp;has not been announced, the company&nbsp;indicated&nbsp;that the sedan will remain a part of the&nbsp;company's India portfolio until 2034 and undergo all the&nbsp;revisions and facelifts that the model receives worldwide.&nbsp;By guaranteeing the sedan's availability in the market, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/">Skoda</a> aims&nbsp;to cater&nbsp;to&nbsp;over&nbsp;70,000 Octavia owners.</p>

<h2>New Skoda Superb Sedan: Expected Powertrain Details</h2>

<p>Since its launch in 2001, the Superb&nbsp;has been among Skoda's most significant vehicles. This&nbsp;high-end&nbsp;car sports a sloping roofline, a larger butterfly grille, adaptive LED headlights, and new 19-inch designer wheels in its most recent iteration.</p>

<p>The Superb sedan is expected to offer a powerful driving experience thanks to its 2.0-litre turbo-petrol mill, which belts out 187bhp of maximum power and 320Nm of peak torque and is BS6 Phase 2-compliant. On the transmission front, it is paired with a seven-speed DSG twin-clutch gearbox. The vehicle&nbsp;can go&nbsp;from 0 to 100km/h in about&nbsp;7.8 seconds. In India,&nbsp;we anticipate the ex-showroom asking price of the&nbsp;Superb to fall around&nbsp;Rs&nbsp;43 lakh.</p>

<h2>Skoda Kushaq, Slavia Facelifts to Get Level 2 ADAS in India</h2>

<p>In other news, it was revealed&nbsp;the manufacturer will soon introduce&nbsp;several noteworthy<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/skoda-kushaq-slavia-facelifts-to-get-level-2-adas-in-india-check-details-116497/"> modifications to its Kushaq SUV and Slavia sedan.</a>&nbsp;The two models in the company's portfolio have so far done well in the market and are crucial to its India 2.0 strategy. Notably, the automobiles have also received a five-star safety rating under Global NCAP's new crash test program. However, over time, many competing vehicles have increased their market shares due to the extensive range of cutting-edge features they offer.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Skoda Kushaq 1 " height="720" src="/uploads/2023/02/Skoda-Kushaq-1-.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The Czech car major&nbsp;will incorporate advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and various other feature changes into the facelifted models to&nbsp;stay up with the market. Petr Janeba, Skoda's brand director, acknowledged that the company needed to catch up in terms of features and reiterated that facelifts and interim updates would be utilised to bridge this divide. For the&nbsp;uninitiated, the company does not currently offer ADAS in any of its vehicles in India, except&nbsp;the top-of-the-line L&amp;K variant of the Kodiaq SUV, which is priced at&nbsp;Rs 39.99 lakh (ex-showroom).</p>

<p>Apart from this, Janeba made references to other feature enhancements for the Kushaq and Slavia in addition to the ADAS level 2 tech. He said that other features, such as a 360-degree camera, and more limited versions&nbsp;will be available in our market&nbsp;soon. Moreover, the brand&nbsp;plans to&nbsp;release a brand-new sub-compact SUV in India by&nbsp;March 2025. The Hyundai Venue, the Kia Sonet, the Tata Nexon, and the Maruti Suzuki Brezza will be the rivals of this forthcoming model.</p>


Skoda Superb, Octavia Sedans to be Reintroduced in India Soon; Here's What We Know So Far

The Skoda Superb is expected to offer a powerful driving experience thanks to its 2.0-litre turbo-petrol mill, which belts out 187bhp of maximum power and 320Nm of peak torque and is BS6 Phase 2-compliant.

<p>Skoda Auto has released an official teaser for the Octavia Facelift ahead of its international debut in February 2024.&nbsp;The trailer does not offer any important information on the revamped Octavia, yet the car is anticipated to sport many exterior and interior modifications.&nbsp;While the Czech carmaker is currently silent on Octavia's entry in India, market rumours suggest that a limited edition of the Octavia RS iV, which integrates plug-in hybrid technology, may arrive here.&nbsp;If these reports are accurate, the model might be fully imported into India, potentially carrying a high price tag of approximately Rs 40 lakh (ex-showroom). The Czech carmaker reportedly plans to introduce the Superb, Enyaq iV, and the new Kodiaq to the Indian market this year. But before that, let's take a closer look at the possible traits of the new&nbsp;Octavia that is scheduled to debut internationally this February.</p>

<h2>Skoda Octavia Facelift: Interior and Features</h2>

<p>The Czech auto giant hasn't revealed anything about the interior, but the upcoming Skoda Octavia facelift is anticipated to have a cabin that is identical to the most recent Superb and Kodiaq models. Expected features include a heads-up display, USB Type-C connections, a 10-inch driver display, a high power output wireless charging pad, a 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and Skoda Smart Dials—three rotating knobs with built-in displays. Aside from this,&nbsp;the updated Octavia is predicted to come equipped with adaptive LED headlights, TPMS, telematics, ambient lighting, adaptive LED headlights, park assist, traction control, ESC, hill hold aid, multiple airbags, and more features.</p>

<h2>Skoda Octavia Facelift: Powertrain&nbsp;</h2>

<p>According to industry reports, Skoda intends to introduce a new hybrid powertrain option for the Octavia Facelift. In its current configuration, the sedan is available three engine options: a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine, a 2.0-litre diesel engine, and a 1.4-litre plug-in hybrid powertrain.</p>
