Skoda Superb facelift India launch date has been announced and the updated sedan will go officially on sale in February 10 this year.
The refreshed Superb recently made its India debut at the ongoing Auto Expo 2014 and you can CLICK HERE for our new Skoda Superb facelift review.
The new Superb facelift sports an updated front fascia that consists of a new front grille and revised headlights. The headlights sport LED DRLs and look far more upmarket now. At the rear, the car gets new bumper, which no longer has registration plate housing, new boot lid and a set of new LED taillights. On the inside, the car gets a new three-spoke steering wheel.
Engines and gearboxes have been carried over from outgoing model, which means while the petrol model gets the 1.8-liter four pot turbo motor, the diesel gets the much acclained 2.0-liter four cylinder oil burner. This 160 PS petrol engine can be had with either a 6 speed manual or a 7 speed DSG automatic transmission. The 140 PS diesel engine comes mated to 6 speed DSG transmission.
