Skoda Superb returns to India with diesel power: Price, launch and everything you need to know

There is something immediately reassuring about the new Superb. It is unmistakably a Skoda, yet its design has a premium quality that makes it look more expensive than the badge might suggest. The fourth-generation car has a distinctly elegant presence without losing the understated character that has always defined the Superb.

The design is particularly effective because of the way Skoda has handled its proportions. The Superb is a large car, but the contoured surfacing and sharply defined lines disguise much of its bulk. There is a chiselled quality to the bodywork that gives it a hint of sportiness, while the overall stance retains the luxury element you would expect from a flagship sedan. Compared with the previous Superb, it does not feel dramatically different in size, but the new design makes it appear more proportionate and better resolved.
