The third-gen Skoda Superb will
soon receive a mid-cycle makeover. In December 2018, spy media of the
facelifted station wagon version surfaced online, and in a fresh development,
images of the India-bound hatchback version have leaked.
The changes to the car's front-end are subtle in
nature. The revised grille is a tad wider and slightly more angular than
before, while the lower half of the front bumper features revised fog lamps and
black plastic cladding that stretches across the width of the bumper.
At the rear, the 2019 Skoda Superb (facelift)
features a chrome strip that connects the revised tail lights. Furthermore, the
updated model features the word Å KODA affixed in individual letters and dynamic
turn indicators. Both these features debuted at Skoda in the Scala.
The refreshed Skoda Superb will make it to the
history books as the first-ever plug-in hybrid from the Czech carmaker. The
electrified powerplant on offer will comprise a 156 PS 1.4-litre TSI petrol
engine and a 115 PS electric motor. The setup will have a combined output of
217 PS. The electric motor will get its juice from a 13 kWh battery and will
provide an all-electric range of approximately 70 km. The conventional engine options
will be carried over from the outgoing version.
The 2019 Skoda Superb (facelift) is expected to
debut at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show in March.
