Skoda Superb to Cost Rs 50 Lakh (ex-showroom)
While the next-gen Skoda Superb has been in the news, its India debut is still a while away. Meanwhile, the current Superb that went off market this year will return with key updates, as confirmed by Brand Director Petr Solc.
However, the leaked document shows the Superb would now cost around Rs 50 lakh (ex-showroom). This big increase is due to switching from CKD to CBU. Our sources also reveal the return of the Octavia, but in vRS form. The Octy too would come in limited numbers at around the Superb L&K’s price.
The performance version of the popular sedan will have a 1.4 TSI engine with an electric motor and 13kWh battery making 245 hp combined.
In short, Skoda is bringing back the current Superb and Octavia vRS in limited units at higher CBU prices before the next-gen models arrive. Both will feature updated powertrains.
