Coming soon

The new Skoda Superb was unveiled at the Autocar Performance Show recently. It will reach showrooms in February 2009. Prices start at Rs. 20 lakh for the base petrol model, going up to Rs. 25 lakh for the full-fat petrol.

Thomas Kuehl, board member of Skoda India, said: “We will bring an exciting range of engines: a 1.8-litre, 160 bhp TSI petrol, a 2.0-litre diesel with 140 bhp, and a new 3.6-litre V6 petrol with 260 bhp.”

The V6 however, will be launched a few months after the 1.8-litre petrol and 2.0-litre diesel versions. Its trump card is the limo-like space that few can hope to match. The Superb will prove to be the biggest threat to Group stable-mate the Volkswagen Passat.
