Toyota Camry Interior

Both these Skoda and Toyota executive sedans come equipped with a plethora of features. However, considering the price, the Camry feels like more value for money, offering additional features such as sunshades for rear passengers and the rear windshield, a sunroof, and a heads-up display, all of which are absent in the Superb.

Skoda Superb DashBoard

The Skoda Superb, on the other hand, justifies its premium price tag with amenities such as heated and ventilated front seats, 12-way power front seats with a memory function, a massage function for the driver’s seat, electric boss mode, a 360-degree camera, and park assist with semi-autonomous parking. All of these features are not there in the Camry.
Though both Superb and Camry come with branded audio systems, it’s the Superb which gets more speakers.
Both the sedans come with amenities like 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a fully digital driver’s display, and 3-zone climate control. In terms of safety, both get 9 airbags, electronic stability control, ABS with EBD, and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

Final Takeaway

As mentioned earlier, both sedans boast a comprehensive feature list and powerful engines. However, the Toyota Camry emerges as the more value-for-money choice here. Not only does it match the level of comfort and convenience features offered by the Superb, but it also offers a more efficient strong hybrid powertrain option. Therefore, if you're in the market for a luxury hybrid sedan, the Camry makes more sense. On the other hand, if you're seeking a petrol-only premium sedan with more features, and more engaging to drive, and are willing to pay an additional Rs 8 lakh over the Camry, then the Skoda Superb is an option worth considering.
