After receiving a facelift update last year, the Skoda Superb is ready to get another reform soon. However, this time the changes will be related to features only rather than being centric on cosmetics.

Powertrain
Mechanically, this Toyota Camry rivalry won't receive any changes. It will retain its 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine that generates 190PS of power and 320Nm of maximum torque. The engine comes paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT).
At present, the Skoda Superb has priced between Rs 30.50 lakh to Rs 33 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The Czech maker has recently hiked the prices of its offerings by up to 2.5%. This update is intended at keeping the car’s value-for-money quotient.
