The new Skoda Superb Sportline is
celebrating its Indian debut at Auto Expo 2020. This is the only new diesel car
present at the Skoda stand. With the facelift, the Skoda Superb Sportline has
received LED Matrix headlights, new black radiator grille with black double
slats, remodelled front bumper with a honeycomb texture, new, full LED tail
lights with dynamic turn indicators and gloss-black trim between the tail
lights.
The changes on the Indian-spec car seen
here do not include full-LED Matrix headlights, but they do include LED
headlights at least. Also, instead of the 17-inch Drakon alloy wheels, our new
model has Vega alloy wheels, probably in 18-inch size. Internationally, the new
Skoda Superb Sportline can be purchased with 18-inch Zenith alloy wheels or
19-inch Vega alloy wheels.
The interior design of the 2020 Skoda
Superb Sportline is the same. However, unlike in the old model, the roof
lining, roof pillars and sun visors can be clad in black Alcantara. Under the
hood, the 2020 Skoda Superb Sportline seen here has the 2.0-litre TDI
turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine that produces a maximum power of 190 PS and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. A 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic
transmission sends drive to the front wheels.
Volkswagen Group has no immediate plans to
introduce a BS-VI diesel engine for its Volkswagen, Skoda or even Audi models.
When it does introduce, and that won’t be before the end of this year, the
2.0-litre TDI unit of this 2020 Skoda Superb Sportline will be the first one to
come out.
