Skoda Superb

Summary

The 2021 Skoda Superb has been introduced by the Czech car manufacturer in India featuring slightly revised headlamps and a handful of feature additions to the cabin. The cost of the Sportline variant has bumped by Rs 1.5 lakh and the top-spec Laurin & Klement trim is Rs 2 lakh dearer than the previous model.

Exterior

Visually, the overall design of the 2021 Superb remains unchanged and is in line with the current generation model. The sleek LED headlamps unit comes integrated with LED DRLs which also add up as coming / leaving home function and turn indicators.

Interior

The cabin of the refreshed Superb gets an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with an updated interface. It now supports in-built navigation without an SD card. Features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Mirrorlink with voice command control enable the driver to wirelessly connect the device to the multimedia system. Skoda has also added a wireless charging pad and Type-C USB ports in the centre console. These changes are common across both the variants.

The premium Laurin & Klement (L&K) variant comes with all the bells and whistles and comprises of leather upholstery in two colours – Coffee Brown and Stone Beige. The dashboard is finished with piano black inserts but the party piece is the new two-spoke steering wheel with the ‘Laurin & Klement’ inscription and the virtual cockpit which looks upmarket and at par to its German counterparts. Another value addition on the L&K trim is the 360-degree surround view and the park assist function which identifies an appropriate parallel or perpendicular parking spot. Moreover, the Superb parks itself which means that parking in tight places is now a breeze. For the Sportline, the three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel gets a special ‘Sportline’ inscription which compliments with the Alcantara sports seats and integrated headrests.

Engine & Transmission

The Superb will continue to be powered by the current BS6 compliant 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine developing 188bhp and 320Nm of peak torque mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission sending power to the front wheels.
