The car features increased rear leg room and 625 litres of boot space expandable upto 1,760 litres with rear seats folded.
The new Superb’s styling is inspired from the VisionC concept, comes with LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, and bi-xenon headlights as an option. Depending on trims, the car comes loaded with features including car infotainment-iPad connectivity, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto function through Mirror Link, and wireless smartphone charging starting from 2016.
Skoda offers five petrol and three diesel engine options on the new Superb. A dual clutch transmission is standard, except for the base petrol variant which uses a 6-speed manual gearbox. An all-wheel drive system featuring the 5th generation Haldex system is also provided.
