Skoda Superb Set to Make a Grand Comeback in India!
Skoda enthusiasts in India, rejoice! The iconic sedan is poised to re-enter the Indian market after a hiatus caused by the stringent BS6 Phase II emissions standards. Mark your calendars for April 3, 2024, as Skoda gears up to unveil the beloved Superb once again. Initially, the spotlight will shine on the previous generation model, with the highly anticipated fourth-generation variant slated for a debut in 2025.
The global unveiling of the fourth-generation Superb last November set hearts racing worldwide. However, Skoda’s strategy for the Indian market entails reintroducing the previous generation initially. Fear not, though, as the fourth-gen iteration promises to bring forth an array of advanced technologies and enhancements to elevate the driving experience to new heights.
Skoda‘s decision to import the Superb as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) is a strategic move, leveraging the government’s GSR 870 rule. This rule allows manufacturers to import up to 2,500 units annually without the need for homologation. Excitingly, enthusiasts can expect the Superb to arrive in a single top-tier variant, adorned with the prestigious Laurin and Klement trim, boasting an array of additional features and luxuries.
Previously, the Skoda Superb graced Indian roads with a price range between Rs 34.19 – 37.29 Lakh. However, with the transition to full import status, the sedan’s price tag is inevitably set to rise, with estimates placing the starting price at around Rs 43 Lakh. While this might seem like a premium, rest assured that every penny invested will be justified by the Superb’s unparalleled performance and opulent features.
Beneath the hood, the Skoda Superb will house a BS6 Phase II compliant 2.0 Litre, Four-Cylinder Turbo-Petrol Engine, churning out an impressive 187.40 BHP and 320 NM of torque. Mated to a seamless 7 Speed DSG Automatic Gearbox, the Superb boasts an exhilarating acceleration from 0 to 100 KMPH in just 7.8 Seconds, ensuring a thrilling driving experience every time you hit the road.
But the Superb isn’t just about raw power; it’s a showcase of technological prowess and safety innovations. From Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to Skoda’s immersive 11 Speakers Sound System, and a suite of safety features including 8 Airbags and a 360 Surround View Camera, every aspect of the Superb is meticulously crafted to elevate your driving experience.
Front Heated and Ventilated Seats, 12-way adjustable powered Seats with Lumbar Support, and an array of convenience features ensure that every journey is a pleasure, whether it’s a short city commute or a long highway drive.
In conclusion, the Skoda Superb’s reintroduction marks a triumphant return of an automotive icon, poised to set new standards of luxury and performance in the Indian market. With its blend of cutting-edge technology, opulent features, and exhilarating performance, the Superb is ready to reclaim its throne as the king of sedans.
