The Skoda Superb is back in 2025. One of the most respected luxury sedans in India and Europe, now returning with new design language, advanced features and lot of focus on comfort. Skoda want to remind market that sedan still has class even when SUV are dominating. The Superb always stood for space and premium feel without being flashy, and in 2025 the formula continues with more sharp styling and tech upgrade.
First Look at the Design
When you see the 2025 Superb first time, it looks more mature. The lines are sharper, grille is bigger, headlights slimmer with matrix LED setup. It gives that premium vibe without going too loud. Many said Skoda design team has found balance between modern and timeless.
The car is longer and wider than before. Wheelbase stretched a little, which means more legroom at back. Skoda knows Superb buyers often sit at rear seat with chauffeur driving, so space matter a lot. Boot is still massive, one of the largest in segment, perfect for airport runs or long drives.
Interior – Where Luxury Hits Hard
Step inside and you instantly feel why Superb is called luxury bargain. Soft touch material everywhere, leather upholstery, new 13-inch touchscreen floating on dashboard, digital cockpit standard. Ambient lighting improved, gives cabin soft glow at night.
Front seats get ventilation, heating, massage option in higher trims. Rear seat angle also reclines more, adding comfort. Panoramic sunroof is wider, letting more light in. Basically Skoda trying to give near German luxury car feel at half price.
Sound system also upgraded. Canton speakers tuned for richer bass and clear vocals. For buyers who love music on highway trips, this is big plus.
Engine and Powertrain Options
In 2025 Superb continues with petrol engines, no diesel this time. 2.0 TSI turbo petrol is main highlight, pushing around 200+ hp. Smooth 7-speed DSG gearbox, quick shifts. Driving feel is effortless, engine refined.
For European market Skoda also launching plug-in hybrid version, with electric-only range of around 100 km. That may or may not come to India, but globally this is big move. Hybrid Superb can be daily city car and weekend highway cruiser.
Suspension tuned for comfort, though still sharp enough for highway stability. On Indian roads with potholes and speed breakers, Superb known for solid ride, 2025 model looks even better tuned.
