Next-gen Skoda Superb to be unveiled on November 2

The next-gen Superb will be offered with two petrol, two diesel and a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Skoda has released design sketches of the next-generation Superb. The sedan will be officially unveiled on November 2, 2023.

The styling of the new Superb is based on the brand’s “Modern Solid design language”. It’s more of an evolution than a radical change. The car gets the signature grille with slimmer Matrix LED headlights and a sleeker-looking front bumper. The rear features sharper-looking LED tail lights with the ‘Skoda’ script in the centre.

The new-gen Superb is longer and taller than its predecessor, which has resulted in improved headroom and luggage space. Skoda also claims better aerodynamic performance over the outgoing model.

The Superb will be offered with two petrol, two diesel and a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The lower variants will get the 1.5-litre TSI mild-hybrid engine, while higher variants will be powered by a 2.0-litre TSI unit that will come in two states of tune: 201 BHP and 261 BHP, with the latter getting a 4-wheel-drive option.

The 2.0-litre diesel engine will also come in two states of tune: 148 BHP and 190 BHP. A 7-speed dual-clutch automatic will be standard across all engines with 4-wheel-drive available on the higher-spec 2.0L units.

The plug-in hybrid Superb iV will be powered by a 1.5-litre TSI engine paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic and a 25.7 kWh battery. It is said to have a combined output of 201 BHP and can cover 100 km in electric mode.
