No Skoda Superb Diesel deliveries till August

Link to the Skoda Superb Official Review

If you booked a Skoda Superb diesel at the time of its launch in February, well, there's bad news for you. Skoda has no kits to build the diesel, with the first lot of deliveries only expected in the August - September period.

Initially, those customers who booked the diesel variant received an email stating 'no deliveries in March due to global demand'. Now, Skoda has asked its dealers to stop accepting bookings for the 2.0L Superb diesel altogether. Whoever has booked the car is being given 3 options:

1. Shift the booking to the petrol variant.
2. Take a refund.
3. Wait for a couple of months.

The 2.0 diesel produces 174 BHP and churns out 350 Nm of torque. It is the preferred engine for many due to the engine's robustness and its 6-speed DSG which is more reliable than the petrol's 7-speed DSG.

The new Superb is an awesome car; it's disappointing to see such major errors in its planning & production. We don't remember the last time that a car was launched, only to have its deliveries commence a full 6 - 7 months later.
