Skoda Superb to be Launched on Feburary 23rd, 2016
Czech automaker, Skoda, will be launching its all new luxury sedan, the Superb on 23rd of this month. The carmaker has been all gung-ho about the car’s promotion and revealed it with a substantial detail via a video, which was showcased on the carmaker’s India-specific website.
The highlight of the car’s updates consists of an increase in the overall size of the sedan as compared to its predecessor. It should also be noted that even though the new car is bigger than the previous generation, its has managed to be 75kgs lighter than the discontinued model. The new Skoda Superb shares the same MQB platform as its foundation, which it will also share with the new Volkswagen Passat.
Under the hood, Superb is expected to incorporate a 1.8-litre petrol engine, which will produce a 178bhp in the luxury sedan and a 2.0-litre diesel mill that will deliver 160bhp of power output. Both of the powerplants will come coupled to a dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Inside the cabin, the top-of-the-range Laurin Klement models will flaunt creature comforts like SmartLink touchscreen system, which will come mated to a 10-speaker Canton audio system. Other features are likely to include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a completely leather wrapped interior. It is expected that the car’s prices will start somewhere around Rs. 25 lac. Regardless of the relatively inferior powerplant options - the plush interior treatment along with a premium Skoda badge and competitive pricing will help Superb take on rivals like the Toyota Camry.
