New Superb previewed at the Autocar Performance show
The all-new Skoda Superb will be in Indian showrooms early next year. Showgoers at the Autocar Performance Show were treated to an exclusive preview of the car. |  |
Prices will start at Rs 20 lakh for the base petrol model, going up to Rs 25 lakh for the full-fat petrol.
Thomas Kuehl, Board Member of Skoda India, said: “We will bring an exciting range of engines: a 1.8-litre, 160bhp TSI petrol, a 2.0-litre diesel with 140bhp, and a new 3.6-litre V6 petrol with 260bhp.”
The V6 however, will be launched a few months after the 1.8 petrol and 2.0-litre diesel versions.
Its trump card is the limo-like space that few can hope to match. The Superb will prove to be the biggest threat to Group stable-mate the Volkswagen Passat.
