The launch is scheduled for 11 am on next Wednesday at Tote on the Turf at Mahalaxmi in Mumbai. This cut price variant is named as Ambition and will be available in both petrol and diesel versions. The petrol version of the Ambition variant will be powered by the 1.8 liter turbocharged petrol engine that is capable of driving a peak power of 160 PS and a peak torque of 250 Nm. The diesel version on the other hand will derive power from the 2.0 liter turbo diesel engine capable of pumping out a peak power of 140 PS and a peak torque of 320 Nm.

The diesel engine of the Ambition variant will be mated to the highly applauded six-speed DSG automatic gearbox. The petrol engine, on the other hand will be coupled with the mainstream six-speed manual gearbox. The words ‘cut price’ clearly hint that in order to reduce prices the new Ambition variant will not be equipped with all the existing features of Skoda Superb. Some non-essential features would be omitted from the Ambition variants which would include the Electric Sunroof, touch-screen centre console, Bi-xenon cornering lamps and hill hold and hill descent system.
