There was more than just the Octavia RS 245 in the Skoda stable. Here we are talking about something more mature, a bit more laid-back, the Skoda Superb. It received an international facelift back in 2019 and in the recent news, 2020 Skoda Superb Facelift India Launch hints around Q4 2020. Now, talking about the changes. The Superb receives a redesigned front bumper, a refreshed grille and sports more chrome between the LED tail-lights. In the entire Skoda range, the new Superb stands as the first car to get all-LED Matrix headlight units.
The Superb Sportline and the fully-loaded Superb Laurin & Klement were set at the Auto Expo 2020 display. Heading in the car, we see a new Virtual Cockpit digital instrument cluster, wireless smartphone charging and an updated infotainment system. Expect a few more addons and updated interior trim for increased comfort.
Under the hood of the 2020 Skoda Superb Facelift India version is a BS6 compliant, 2.0-litre TSi turbo-petrol engine that has replaced the BS4-compliant 1.8-litre TSi petrol motor. The new mill makes 190bhp and 3201Nm of torque and is mated to a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic. Yes, the gearbox has been carried over from the previous-gen model.
Skoda has planned to serve only petrol variant for India, no diesel variant will be available. Alongside the Octavia RS, BS6 Rapid and the Karoq, Skoda will put a sticker price of Rs 25.99 lakh to 30.99 lakh, a slight price hike compared to the outgoing model is expected.
