The new-generation Skoda Superb finally breaks cover globally. The luxury sedan comes with more premium styling, upgraded mechanical and many exciting bits.
Let’s start with the exterior –
2024 Skoda Superb Exterior
- The updated appearance of the new Superb adheres to the brand’s ‘Modern Solid’ design language.
- While it introduces a fresh look, some elements also retain a sense of familiarity. Notably, the signature grille remains a recognizable feature, while introducing new LED lights flanking it, with a fresh insignia for the LED DRLs, adds a contemporary touch. Additionally, the bumper now incorporates a larger air dam with more prominent cuts & creases, sweetening the overall appearance.
- While the car’s silhouette remains the same, the changes can be seen in the form of new alloy wheels, whereas, on the back, it gets new LED taillights and a revised bumper.
- Overall, the Superb’s design update doesn’t look drastically different, and that’s not a bad thing.

2024 Skoda Superb Interior and Features
- The interior of the new Superb takes a significant leap from the previous model.
- At first glance, the dual-tone design, highlighted by stylish silver accents, adds a touch of sophistication and luxury.
- What truly stands out is the free-standing 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Furthermore, the air conditioning system receives three user-friendly dials with displays for easy HVAC control.
- The centre console is neat because the Skoda has shifted the drive selector to a stalk positioned behind the steering wheel.
- Regarding features, there’s a lot to mention, but some of the best ones include upholstery made of 100 per cent recycled materials, a 10.25-inch digital display, a high-quality sound system, electrically adjustable front seats with ventilation function, ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof, wireless smartphone charger and fast USB-C charging ports.
- Its safety kit comprises up to 10 airbags, electronic stability control, hill assist, front & rear parking sensors, and an Advanced Driver Assistance System.

We don’t expect Skoda to offer the plug-in hybrid powertrain in the Indian-spec Superb when it will be launched here sometime in 2024. Expect it to be priced from around Rs 35 lakh onwards (ex-showroom). Once launched, it will go up against the Toyota Camry Hybrid.
