2021 gets features like AFS for the lights. And loses the heating and dimming feature for the left ORVM.

I drive in similar conditions and my preference has been Yoko Earth 1. You will lose a bit of grip, but it is more puncture proof than the Michelin's

Re: Skoda Superb : Official Review

Thanks for your suggestion.

Did you upgrade the profile ? If yes then do let me know

I have been thinking of upgrading to

Yokohama Blue Earth AE 150 r16 215 55. Any feedback on these ?

Thanks

Dimming: That's automatic; you dont need to do anything for it.
Heating: One of the options on the Mirror Adjustment knob.

So features deleted:
1. magnetic torch in boot
2. Auto dimming passenger ORVM
3. ORVM defogger

Wonder what else minor got removed.

Update - Thermocol casing for seat electronics

The other complaint was rattling noise from rear left door. That can be fixed at a service center only apparently. 1st service is 13km away.

Not 100% sure but cd changer is also not available, although it's pretty much useless now.

Re: Skoda Superb : Official Review

I have fallen head-over-heels for the Superb, it is an absolute stunner! I have shortlisted it and the soon to be launched Octavia as a replacement to our EcoSport.

Some questions I had;
- How is the ground clearance of the Superb on Mumbai roads?
- How is the ingress/egress for elderly at the rear?
- How is the service experience in Mumbai?
- Any good deal running on the Superb in Mumbai at the moment? (In no hurry, willing to wait for a couple of months for a good deal)

TIA.

-Ground clearance is more than good.
-Ingress/egress not really a problem but when you compare csuv and sedan, csuv is the clear winner. In compact suvs, it's almost the same level, you don't have to climb like full size suvs and also don't need to sit low like in sedans. Best way is to ask for demo at home and check it practically. But huge legroom will make up for everything
-Skoda is improving by leaps and bounds in terms of after sales service.
-Deals currently around 2.5-3 lacs off on on-road price. The production is very very limited right now, so if you can wait till dealers start getting stocks in full swing chances of getting good deals are very high.

Superb is real vfm sedan.
