All-new Skoda Superb launch on Feb 23, 2016

After innumerable spy shots of the car and a subtle official teaser campaign, Skoda India has officially announced February 23, 2016 as the launch date of the all-new Skoda Superb. The new Superb will sit atop Skoda India's model range and is likely to command a premium over the outgoing generation. For reference, the outgoing Superb is priced between Rs. 22.13 - 26.83 lakh ex-showroom Delhi.

In India, the Superb is likely to be powered by a 1.8-litre TSI petrol and a 2.0 TDI diesel engine offered with manual and DSG gearboxes. The car will come with front wheel drive across the range. The car's feature list includes three zone climate control, a sliding and tilting panoramic sunroof, rain and light sensors, power adjustable front seats, park assist, a rear view camera and a 6.5" touchscreen infotainment display that supports MirrorLink, Android Auto & Apple CarPlay.

As it stands, the Toyota Camry is the Superb's only direct rival, but by virtue of its expected pricing, the car could also be a threat to smaller luxury sedans such as the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class.
