Superb :Everything you want to know about ADV News, Photos & Exclusive stories.

<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>

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>

<p>The all-new Toyota Camry is Rs 6 lakh&nbsp;more affordable than the Skoda Superb.&nbsp;This price difference can be attributed to the fact&nbsp;that the Camry is locally assembled,&nbsp;while the Superb is fully imported.</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>The latest&nbsp;Skoda <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/kodiaq/">Kodiaq</a> and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/superb/">Superb</a> model generations have just received the highest possible five-star rating in yet another round of testing conducted by Euro NCAP, the primary independent programme for assessing car safety in Europe. Commenting on this feat,&nbsp;Johannes Neft, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/">Skoda Auto</a> Board Member for Technical Development said, 'The safety of our customers and all other road users is our top priority. Therefore, we are delighted to receive five‑star ratings for the second-generation Škoda Kodiaq and fourth‑generation Škoda Superb in the Euro NCAP test. We are particularly proud of our strong results for Adult and Child Occupant protection. The fact that we have extended our successful record of five‑star evaluations for our vehicles even after the more stringent test parameters were introduced in 2023 confirms our clear commitment to the highest safety standards.'</p>

<h2>Skoda Kodiaq, Superb: Euro NCAP&nbsp;Crash Test Ratings</h2>

<p>The Kodiaq SUV scored 89% in the category of adult protection, 83% in the category of child protection, 82% in the category&nbsp;for&nbsp;protection of&nbsp;vulnerable road users including cyclists and pedestrians, and 78% in the category of safety assistance systems.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the&nbsp;fourth-generation Superb&nbsp;notably&nbsp;earned&nbsp;an impressive&nbsp;rating of 93% for adult protection, 87% for child protection, and 82% for protection of vulnerable road users. Moreover, the sedan&nbsp;received an 80% rating in safety assistance systems.</p>

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

<p>According to Skoda, both models are equipped with an extensive array&nbsp;of cutting-edge features,&nbsp;actively assisting in preventing or minimising collisions&nbsp;by warning the driver&nbsp;in various&nbsp;situations. These features include Front Assist with predictive pedestrian and cyclist protection, Side Assist including rear traffic alert,&nbsp;as well as Collision Avoidance Assist, Turn Assist, Crossroad Assist, and Exit Warning.&nbsp;Travel Assist&nbsp;actively helps&nbsp;the driver in controlling&nbsp;the car&nbsp;longitudinally and laterally. In addition to adaptive cruise control (ACC), it&nbsp;offers Emergency Assist, Crew Protect Assist, Traffic Jam Assist, and Adaptive Lane Assist with roadworks recognition.</p>

<p>The brand claims that the efficacy of assistance systems like Front Assist and Crossroad Assist is further improved by new nano radar sensors installed in the front apron's left and right corners. Moreover, the range of the Side Assist is extended by the nano radar sensors&nbsp;in the back apron. The updated Attention and Drowsiness Assist keeps an eye on how drivers behave, determines how tired they may be, and, if needed, activates auditory and visual alerts in the Virtual Cockpit.</p>

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

The diesel unit also has&nbsp;two different power outputs: 148bhp&nbsp;and 190bhp. An automatic DSG gearbox with seven speeds is standard on all variants.</p>


Skoda Kodiaq and Superb Receive 5-star Safety Rating from Euro NCAP: Watch Video

The Kodiaq SUV scored 89% in the category of adult protection and 83% in the category of child protection. Meanwhile, the fourth-generation Superb scored 93% for adult protection and 87% for child protection.

<p>Skoda Superb has been relaunched in India after almost a year of absence. Formerly the flagship sedan in Skoda India's portfolio, it was discontinued as a result of the strict BS6 Phase II pollution regulations. Although it's gone for a while, it's back as a complete import. Only 100 units of this sedan will be available in India. Priced at Rs 54 lakh (ex-showroom), it's a significant premium over its predecessor. It is important to remember that this is not to be confused with the brand's fourth-generation Superb, which was released globally in November 2023.</p>

<h2>Skoda Superb: Design</h2>

<p>The Superb's design retains a recognisable aspect similar to its predecessor in the Indian market. Skoda's distinctive grille is enhanced by full LED headlights that include washers, creating an air of sophistication. The LED fog lights are seamlessly incorporated into the bumper, improving both the visual appeal and practicality. On the flanks, the Superb showcases new 18-inch alloy wheels, which enhance its appearance with a touch of elegance. The back of the vehicle is enhanced with LED taillights that include dynamic turn indicators, which combine visibility and flair flawlessly.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Skoda Superb: Interior</h2>

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

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/">Skoda</a> has enhanced the feature list of the 2018 Superb. The upgrades include a stylish 10.2-inch digital driver display and a user-friendly 9.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system that smoothly supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Moreover, the incorporation of wireless charging, tri-zone temperature control, and other features increase the degree of comfort and convenience for those within the vehicle.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There are 12 different configurations for the front seats thanks to the electronic adjustment. Also, there's a massage function and memory function on the driver's seat. This vehicle also features a two-spoke steering wheel with paddle shifters.</p>

<p>Skoda's Superb stands out for its safety&nbsp;features, making it one of the safest <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/">cars in India</a>. Like Slavia and <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/skoda-kushaq-explorer-edition-revealed-with-off-road-ready-upgrades-116306/">Kushaq</a>, it gets top marks in both Global NCAP and Euro NCAP crash tests. This <a href="https://www.autox.com/sedan-cars-in-india/">sedan</a> is packed with safety features, including nine <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/honda-elevate-city-and-amaze-become-safer-in-india-get-six-airbags-seat-belts-reminder-and-more-116659/">airbags</a>, a 360-degree camera, a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, and Park Assist with Emergency Braking Assist.</p>

<h2>Skoda Superb: Engine</h2>

<p>The 2024 Skoda Superb is equipped with a robust 2.0-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 187bhp and 320Nm of torque. Paired with a seven-speed <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/cvt-torque-converter-amt-dsg-automatic-gearboxes-explained/">DSG automatic gearbox</a>, this combination allows the vehicle to go from 0 to 100km/h in 7.7 seconds, guaranteeing a thrilling driving experience.</p>


Skoda Superb Relaunched in India with Updated Features at Rs 54 Lakh

Skoda has reintroduced the third-gen Superb in India at a price of Rs 54 lakh (ex-showroom), marking its comeback after nearly a year.

<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>

Skoda Octavia Facelift Officially Teased Ahead of Global Debut in February

Almost five years after its introduction on foreign markets, the fourth-generation Octavia is finally heading for the much-anticipated makeover.

<p>In late August this year, Skoda Auto revealed the interior of&nbsp;the fourth-generation Superb. This time, the Czech automaker has&nbsp;released the first set of design sketches of its upcoming sedan. The global debut of the next-generation Superb is slated to take place on November 2, followed by its launch in 2024. As far as the Indian market is concerned, Skoda is gearing up to reintroduce the luxury sedan under the government's GSR 870 rule, which allows&nbsp;manufacturers to import up to 2,500 units of right-hand-drive vehicles categorised under the M and L segments without the need for homologation. Earlier in June, the carmaker silently removed the Superb from its official website, indicating that the model had been discontinued for the domestic market. However, the current-generation Superb will make a comeback as a completely built-up unit in India in the coming months. But before that happens, Skoda's&nbsp;2024 Superb will be revealed next month for the international market. Similar to other Skoda models, the latest version of the Superb will be based on the new 'Modern Solid' design language that debuted in the second half of 2022.</p>
