Skoda Superb India Debut On April 3 as CBU: Expected Price

Skoda will relaunch the Superb in India and sell it as a CBU unit; The yearly imports will be limited to 2500 units.

Skoda is all set to launch the third-gen Superb in India on April 3. The premium sedan was discontinued last year due to the BS6 Phase 2 emission norms kicking in. The latest fourth-gen model of the Superb made its international debut last year in November and for now, India will get the internationally-discontinued third-gen model before the latest fourth-gen Superb is launched sometime next year.

Earlier, the Skoda Superb was manufactured locally in India, however, for the year 2024, the company will utilize the CBU route, taking full advantage of the 2500 units threshold which saves the homologation costs. We expect the top-spec L&K version to be launched in India which will come loaded with features such as ADAS, adaptive cruise control, 360-degree parking camera and more.

Skoda Superb India Debut On April 3: Expected Price

Per a leaked document, the Superb will be launched at around Rs. 55 lakh (ex-showroom). On the contrary, we believe the earlier price of around 37 lakh was well justified for the sedan. Coming as a full import, the Superb will be positioned a bit higher, thanks to the extra taxes and the range can now go up to Rs. 45 lakh. In addition to the Superb, Skoda is also planning to bring back Octavia in India and it will probably come in the hybrid VRS guise.

In addition to this, Skoda will launch a new compact SUV in India next year.
