Skoda is reportedly to bring back the current-gen Superb sedan in India, but this time in limited numbers. In fact, some dealerships have also started accepting their bookings unofficially.
Might Follow CBU Route
- Unlike before, the Skoda Superb will no longer be locally assembled; instead, it will follow the full import route.
- Having said that, it is likely to be introduced under the government’s GSR 870 rule that allows automobile manufacturers to import 2,500 units of any RHS-driven vehicles falling under M and L categories without worrying about the homologation process.

- The ADAS suite of the Superb should include features like forward collision avoidance, lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, dynamic headlight range control, and much more.

Colour Options
Skoda is anticipated to introduce the new Superb in three exterior paint options – Magic Black, Rosso Brunello and Water World Green.
Powertrain
Powering the 2023 Skoda Superb will be the upgraded 2.0-litre TSI turbo-petrol engine that produces 190PS of max power and comes mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Expected Price
Prior to its discontinuation, the CKD Skoda Superb had a price range of Rs 34.19 lakh and Rs 37.29 lakh (ex-showroom), so expect the CBU Superb to come with a substantial price premium.
