All-new 2015 Skoda Superb set to debut on February 17

Skoda has been running a teaser campaign of its forthcoming new 2016 Skoda Superb for a quiet a while. The Czech carmaker had released a few sketches that revealed the silhouette of the car, and also an image that depicted the interior of the 2015 Superb. The carmaker has finally decided to reveal the car in full guise on February 17, 2015.

The 2015 Skoda Superb will follow the company’s new design language which is seen on the new Skoda Fabia and the 2014 Skoda Octavia with the bonnet slightly extended and overlapping the front grille. The grille will come with horizontal slats and will be flanked by a pair of sleek headlights with integrated LED DRLs (daytime running lights).

The car will have an 80mm longer wheelbase while its overall length has been increased by 20mm. Despite the increase in dimensions the car’s weight will be down by 75kg. With the rear seats up the boot space increases by 625 litres and with the rear seats folded the bootspace increases to 1,760 litres.

The 2015 Superb gets a typical Skoda dashboard and a large touchscreen display. The climate controls and steering wheels are similar to the one seen on the Skoda Octavia. Other features include an electric park brake, DSG gearbox and a chocolate brown leather upholstery.

The 2015 Skoda Superb will be offered with a petrol TSI option and a diesel TDI engine options, and later could also come as a plug-in hybrid variant. The new 2015 Skoda Superb will be launched in India in the beginning of 2016 and is expected to be priced between Rs 20 lakh to Rs 25 lakh.
