Interior Upgrades
The interior of the next-gen Superb will sport a completely revamped design with higher-quality materials, customizable rotary controllers, a brand-new infotainment system, and sustainable materials. Skoda has incorporated three rotary controllers below the 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system, featuring a 32mm digital display. The outer knobs control seat heating, while the central one handles various functions such as infotainment volume, fan speed, air conditioning, driving modes, and zoom on the sat-nav.

Exterior Transformation
The exterior design has undergone significant changes, featuring new slender daytime running lights and revamped rear lights. The new Superb shares its architecture with the jointly developed Volkswagen Passat and aligns with Skoda's updated design language, reflected in the new Kodiaq.
Global Engine Line-Up
The upcoming Superb will offer a range of powertrain options, including three petrol engines, two diesel engines, and a plug-in hybrid variant. All these options will come with automatic gearboxes as standard, ensuring a seamless driving experience.
India-Specific Details
While the global debut of the new Skoda Superb is right around the corner, Skoda is also reviving the current-generation Superb for the Indian market. The previous Superb was discontinued due to the implementation of BS6 Phase-II emissions norms. Skoda confirmed earlier this year that it is evaluating plans to reintroduce the Superb to the Indian market. The sedan, making its return, will be offered as a full import and will be available in limited numbers.
Skoda is poised to offer an exciting future for Superb enthusiasts with both the new generation and the return of the current model. The global debut on November 2 will shed more light on the advancements in design, features, and capabilities that the next-gen Superb will bring to the international market.
