Fourth-Gen Skoda Superb To Be Launched In India With A Diesel Engine

GaadiWaadi -

All-new Skoda Superb could be the company’s most comfort- and safety-focused car in India, challenging hybrid-only Toyota Camry

Introduced in November 2023, the fourth-gen Skoda Superb had its Indian debut in January 2025 but still hasn’t arrived in showrooms. According to a new report from Autocar India, the latest model will finally be launched in India in the first half of 2027.

The all-new Skoda Superb measures 4,912 mm in length, 1,849 mm in width, and 1,481 mm in height. Compared to the previous-generation model, it is 43 mm longer, 15 mm narrower, and 12 mm taller. Its wheelbase is the same, though, spanning 2,841 mm. It offers 645 litres of luggage space, up 20 litres from the previous generation, and folding the rear seat expands this capacity to 1,795 litres.

Skoda stopped offering diesel engines across its line-up in India with the country’s transition in April 2020. With the fourth-gen Superb, it will restart offering this option. However, the company has no plans to bring diesel engines to its mass-market products like the Kylaq, Slavia, and Kushaq. Even for the Kodiaq, there’s still no plan to introduce a diesel engine option.

Internationally, the all-new Skoda Superb is available with a choice of two diesel engines, both 2.0-litre units and paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The base variant produces 148 hp and 360 Nm of torque, while the top variant develops 190 hp and 400 Nm of torque. Skoda uses the base variant in FWD configuration and the top variant in AWD configuration. The car’s AWD system can transfer up to 100 per cent of torque to the rear axle and up to 85% to a single wheel.

In India, Skoda showcased the all-new Superb with the top variant of the 2.0-litre diesel engine, along with the standard 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system. The company is testing the diesel-AWD configuration on public roads and is likely to launch the car with the same setup next year.

The all-new Skoda Superb will likely be offered in India with features such as LED Matrix headlights, full-LED rear lights with dynamic indicators, and a kick-activated power tailgate. Inside, massage front seats with ventilation and heating functions, three Skoda Smart Dials with built-in 1.26-inch displays, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a 12-speaker Canton sound system will likely be the highlights.

 

The latest model is offered with a suite of advanced driver assistance systems and up to ten airbags, and most of these features should also make it to India. Adaptive dampers may also be offered, positioning the all-new Superb as Skoda’s most comfort-focused, high-tech car in India.

Skoda will import the all-new Superb as a CBU from Bratislava, Slovakia, but the India-EU FTA coming into effect by next year could help it price the car more competitively than the previous model, which, priced at Rs. 54 lakh (ex-showroom), didn’t find much success.
