Q. Is Toyota Camry better than Skoda Superb?

Both cars are good enough. Toyota has made the new Camry so much more desirable with cooler gizmos, a significantly better ride and handling package and statement making styling. However, with the FAME incentives now retracted, it’s also a lot more expensive than a non-hybrid petrol alternative like the Skoda Superb, the top-spec of which, is also Rs 6 lakh cheaper than the Camry Hybrid. And that does water down the appeal of the Camry’s superior fuel efficiency. So even with its brand new and more appealing persona, the deal closer is, in no small part, the Toyota brand promise and everything that comes with it. On the otherh and, if we talk about Skoda Superb, it is the last of a dying breed. All its competitors have suffered a painful death, being trampled upon by SUVs. The ones that managed to survive, like the Toyota Camry or the Honda Accord till some time ago, went hybrid. So the fact that the Superb still managed to come out the other end of the tunnel, using the formula of a luxurious, spacious and sporty limousine, which it first brought to India almost a decade ago is nothing short of an achievement itself. With this facelifted Superb, Skoda has once again reminded us of what we will miss once the SUVs and the electrics fully take over. A sedan that packs in luxury, comfort, space and sheer driving pleasure all in one. If only the Superb offered the very latest technology like the SUVs of today, maybe we would see a resurgence in its sales. And after all this if you are still thinking about the Superb, our recommendation is, don’t think twice. You may compare both the cars accorduingly.
