Both these Skoda and Toyota executive sedans come equipped with a plethora of features. However, considering the price, the Camry feels like more value for money, offering additional features such as sunshades for rear passengers and the rear windshield, a sunroof, and a heads-up display, all of which are absent in the Superb.
-
The Skoda Superb, on the other hand, justifies its premium price tag with amenities such as heated and ventilated front seats, 12-way power front seats with a memory function, a massage function for the driver’s seat, electric boss mode, a 360-degree camera, and park assist with semi-autonomous parking. All of these features are not there in the Camry.
-
Though both Superb and Camry come with branded audio systems, it’s the Superb which gets more speakers.
-
Both the sedans come with amenities like 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a fully digital driver’s display, and 3-zone climate control. In terms of safety, both get 9 airbags, electronic stability control, ABS with EBD, and a tyre pressure monitoring system.
Final Takeaway
As mentioned earlier, both sedans boast a comprehensive feature list and powerful engines. However, the Toyota Camry emerges as the more value-for-money choice here. Not only does it match the level of comfort and convenience features offered by the Superb, but it also offers a more efficient strong hybrid powertrain option. Therefore, if you're in the market for a luxury hybrid sedan, the Camry makes more sense. On the other hand, if you're seeking a petrol-only premium sedan with more features, and more engaging to drive, and are willing to pay an additional Rs 8 lakh over the Camry, then the Skoda Superb is an option worth considering.
