About

The Skoda Superb Diesel LK Automatic, in its previous form, was a flagship model that embodied luxury and performance. Powered by a 2.0 litre diesel engine producing significant torque, it offered a smooth and refined driving experience. The LK variant came with a plethora of features including keyless entry, a 6.5-inch colour touch screen infotainment system, leather seats, electric driver seat, bi-xenon headlamps, and advanced safety features like eight airbags and a multi-collision brake system. Additional luxuries included three-zone climate control, cooled front seats, and a virtual pedal for the boot. The car also featured multiple driving modes eco, normal, sport, and individual allowing drivers to customize their experience. While this specific variant is no longer in production, its legacy continues to influence the current petrol-only models, which maintain the Superbs reputation for luxury, comfort, and driving pleasure.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Skoda Superb Diesel LK Automatic is a luxury sedan that excels in several key areas, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a blend of comfort, performance, and features. The 2.0 litre diesel engine, though no longer available in the latest models, was renowned for its silky smooth and refined performance, delivering ample torque that makes the car accelerate effortlessly. The 7-speed automatic gearbox, while sometimes hesitant in D mode, shines in manual mode, providing a more engaging driving experience. The LK variant is loaded with premium features such as three-zone climate control, cooled front seats, and a virtual pedal for the boot, enhancing the luxury feel. However, the ride can be a bit pitchy at higher speeds, and the clutch pedal in the manual version is on the heavier side. Overall, its a solid choice for those who value comfort, power, and a luxurious driving experience.

Price

The Skoda Superb Diesel LK Automatic, in its previous iteration, was priced at around Rs 30.85 lakh ex-showroom in Delhi. However, its important to note that this variant is no longer available in the market, having been replaced by petrol-only models. For perspective, the current Skoda Superb LK petrol variant starts at Rs 54 lakh ex-showroom in Delhi. On-road prices would typically add another Rs 5-7 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. While the diesel variant was priced competitively against its rivals, the current petrol-only models are positioned as a premium offering, reflecting their advanced features and luxury appeal.

Latest Updates

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 09:22 AM The new Skoda Superb Diesel L&K Automatic is set to arrive in India, boasting a 2.0-liter TDI engine producing 193 PS (142 kW) and paired with a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox. This top-spec diesel model comes with all-wheel drive as standard, enhancing its traction and stability. The L&K trim also features advanced comfort and safety features, including a 14-speaker Canton sound system and heated rear seats. I think this combination of power and luxury will make it a compelling choice for Indian buyers.

Friday, 25 October 2024 07:37 PM Skoda has announced that the Superb Diesel L&K Automatic will come with the latest Dynamic Chassis Control Plus (DCC Plus), which offers improved damping characteristics for a smoother ride. This technology, standard on the L&K trim, ensures that the vehicle balances comfort and driving dynamics effectively. Additionally, the car features a clean and spacious interior with a free-standing 13-inch infotainment display and ventilated wireless charging. I believe this will significantly enhance the driving experience in Indian road conditions.

Monday, 30 September 2024 06:24 AM The Skoda Superb Diesel L&K Automatic is expected to offer a generous boot space of 690 litres in the estate version, making it one of the most practical choices in its segment. The car also includes several Simply Clever features, such as a separate washer for the reversing camera and a handy umbrella hidden in the driver’s door. These practical touches are likely to appeal to Indian consumers who value usability.

Tuesday, 20 August 2024 08:36 AM Skoda has confirmed that the Superb Diesel L&K Automatic will feature advanced driver assistance systems, including a reversing camera, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and traffic sign recognition. These features are designed to enhance safety and convenience, making long journeys more comfortable. The car also includes easy shortcuts to disable certain features without using the touchscreen, a thoughtful touch for drivers.

Monday, 15 July 2024 09:04 AM The Skoda Superb Diesel L&K Automatic will be available with a range of sustainable interior materials, including textiles made from 100% sustainable sources. This aligns with Skodas commitment to sustainability and eco-friendliness. The L&K trim also features specific details such as embroidered L&K lettering, adding a touch of exclusivity. I think this focus on sustainability will resonate well with environmentally conscious Indian buyers.

Monday, 10 June 2024 02:01 PM Skoda has revealed that the Superb Diesel L&K Automatic will have a sleek and evolved design, with the estate version being 40mm longer and 5mm taller than its predecessor. This design change has improved the aerodynamics, reducing the drag coefficient by 10%. The car also features advanced matrix LED headlights with 40% extra light output, enhancing visibility and safety on Indian roads.

Monday, 20 May 2024 07:52 PM The Skoda Superb Diesel L&K Automatic is expected to be priced competitively in the Indian market, with the L&K trim offering a premium experience at a lower cost compared to some of its European counterparts. While exact pricing for India is not yet announced, the UK pricing suggests it will be a value-for-money proposition. I think this pricing strategy will help Skoda attract more buyers in the luxury segment.

Monday, 15 April 2024 01:20 PM Skodas new Smart Dials in the Superb Diesel L&K Automatic combine digital and haptic elements, providing a unique and intuitive way to control various vehicle functions. These dials are configurable and can be used to adjust seat heating, ventilation, and other comfort settings. This innovative feature is likely to be a hit among tech-savvy Indian car enthusiasts.

Monday, 25 March 2024 08:53 PM The Skoda Superb Diesel L&K Automatic will feature a head-up display as an optional feature, a first for the Superb series. This, along with the 13-inch infotainment display and 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit, enhances the cars technological appeal. The voice assistant Laura, soon to be complemented by ChatGPT, will also provide advanced infotainment and assistance functions. I believe these tech upgrades will make the Superb a strong contender in the luxury car market.

Tuesday, 20 February 2024 03:44 PM Skoda has emphasized the comfort and practicality of the Superb Diesel L&K Automatic, highlighting features such as back-friendly Ergo seats with ten pneumatically controlled massage cushions. The car also includes ventilated wireless charging for smartphones, adding to the overall comfort and convenience. These features are designed to make long journeys more enjoyable, which is particularly important for Indian drivers.

Monday, 15 January 2024 09:13 PM The Skoda Superb Diesel L&K Automatic is part of Skodas strategy to maintain its presence in the diesel market, despite the global trend towards petrol and hybrid vehicles. Skoda predicts that up to a third of new Superbs sold will still use diesel, indicating a strong demand for diesel engines in certain markets like India. I think this decision reflects Skodas understanding of local market preferences.

Mileage

Thursday, 21 November 2024 02:00 AM The Skoda Superb Diesel LK Automatic was known for its impressive fuel efficiency, returning around 11 kmpl in the city and 15.7 kmpl on the highway. This makes it an attractive option for those concerned about running costs, especially for long-distance driving. However, since this variant is no longer available, potential buyers should consider the petrol variants, which offer around 9-13 kmpl, depending on the transmission and driving conditions.
