2016 Skoda Superb spied testing in Europe

Spy photographers in Europe have snapped the 2016 Skoda Superb on test. The new sedan, based on Volkswagen's MQB platform is expected to get a 75 mm increase in wheelbase over the current model. Reports also suggest that the new model could see an increase in headroom, by playing with the seat placement, without raising the roof-line.

Though seen under heavy camouflage in the images, the new Superb will get a lot of design inputs from the 'VisionC' concept. Rumoured updates include the option of full LED headlamps and a plug-in hybrid variant. If Skoda does introduce a plug-in hybrid Superb, it will most likely source its power-train from the VW Passat GTE that was revealed earlier this year. Engine options on the new Superb are likely to include 2.0-litre TDI & TSI engines. Lower displacement variants such as a 1.6-litre TDI & 1.8-litre TSI could be offered as well.

The 2016 Skoda Superb is expected to make its debut in March 2015 at the Geneva motor show.
