2021 Skoda Superb: At a glance
The 2021 Skoda Superb will look similar to the current-generation model. It will sport a chrome-finished multi-slat grille, a muscular bonnet, a wide air dam, and sleek LED headlights with DRLs. The car will be flanked by blacked-out B-pillars, ORVMs, and designer alloy wheels. Wrap-around taillights and 'SKODA' lettering will be present on the rear end. Dimensions-wise, it should have a wheelbase of 2,841mm.
Power and performance
The 2021 Skoda Superb is likely to draw power from a BS6-compliant 2.0-liter TSI turbo-petrol engine that produces a maximum power of 187hp and a peak torque of 320Nm. The motor will come mated to a 7-speed DSG gearbox.
A peek inside the cabin
The 2021 Superb will have a 5-seater cabin with ventilated leather seats, and a 3-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel for the SportLine variants (a 2-spoke wheel with integrated hands-free parking button for L&K and L&K Inscription trims). It will also house an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a USB Type-C charging port, and a built-in navigation system.
What about the pricing?
The pricing and availability details of the new Skoda Superb in India will be revealed at the launch event later this month. However, it is likely to carry a small premium over the current-generation model, which starts at Rs. 30.49 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi).
