Barely a month ago, the 2020 Skoda Superb facelift was spotted testing in India for the first time. Now, Skoda has confirmed that the facelifted Superb will be launched in India in May 2020.
The premium sedan is expected to be offered with a BS6-compliant 2.0-litre petrol engine. This unit is capable of producing 192PS of power and 320Nm of torque and will come paired to a 7-speed DSG transmission option. There won’t be a Superb diesel (at least in 2020) on offer as Skoda Auto Volkswagen India is planning to ditch diesel engines for the short term. Skoda currently offers the Superb with two BS4 engines: a 1.8-litre TSI engine (180PS/250Nm) and a 2.0-litre TDI unit (177PS/350Nm) and is offered with either a 6-speed DSG or a 7-speed DSG transmission option.
In terms of changes, the facelifted Superb is expected to sport new LED Matrix headlamps on the top-spec variant along with LED fog lamps, new alloy wheels, a bigger 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with connected car tech and a sunroof. What's more, Skoda could also offer a 360-degree camera, a three-zone climate control, park assist, and ambient lighting on the Superb facelift.

The current-gen Superb is priced in the range of Rs 25.99 lakh and Rs 33.49 lakh (ex-showroom). However, prices are likely to go up once its BS6 version is introduced. The Superb facelift will continue its rivalry with the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and the Volkswagen Passat.
