The new Superb is itself 75kg lighter and that means fuel efficiency has also gone up (14.67kmpl for the DSG, 14.12kmpl for the diesel). Interestingly the manual petrol peaks at 320Nm of torque while, to account for the torque limitations of the DQ-200 7-speed DSG gearbox, the automatic petrol has been detuned to 250Nm (though power remains the same). Overall, third-gen Skoda Superb simply approves its old recipe of space, pace and grace. There’s practically nothing to dislike about the car, save for a slightly gruff engine note. There’s enough space for five occupants, and the massive 625-litre boot will swallow their luggage whole as well. More than anything, it is phenomenal value-for-money.

The exteriors of Skoda Superb comes with attractive features like angular headlamps, rising shoulder line, and a very attractive rear body design accentuated by smart tail lamp clusters. Interiors are made up of quality materials and Superb’s spacious front and rear bench allows 5 adult occupants to sit in utmost comfort. Skoda Superb comes powered by two engine options - 175 BHP 2.0-litre turbocharged Diesel engine and 178 BHP 1.8-litre turbocharged TSI petrol engine, both engines offering optimum combination of power and efficiency. While the diesel engine comes only with automatic transmission, buyers can opt for both manual as well as automatic transmission in the petrol guise. In the Indian market, Skoda Superb is up against the likes of Volkswagen Passat, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and its own cousin Octavia among others. Pros: - Phenomenal amount of rear-seat legroom. One can sit cross-legged with ease. - Quality of plastics and leather used in the cabin is top class. Leaves very little room for complaint. - Pliant suspension gobbles up surface irregularities. - Super-smooth 7-speed DSG automatic is a joy to use. - Loaded with features - touchscreen audio system, ambient lighting, three-zone climate control, sunroof, 8 airbags etc. Cons: - The diesel engine gets slightly vocal on the move. Dampens the premium experience. - No hybrid variant on offer - both the Camry and the Accord offer hybrid tech.

I have a Superb 1.8 TSI MT, purchased in Oct, 2018. Just after 1.5-2k kilometers I started getting grinding noise on braking. Got it to the service centre and they cleaned the disc and gave the car back to me. Again after a few months and 2k kilometers I started getting same issue. Went back to the service station and they have told to replace the brake pads and disc under warranty. Hopefully I won't get this issue again after replacing the pads and discs.

As of now, we have not reported any such issue. If you are facing any inconvenience with the car, would request you to please visit the nearest authorized service centre to get it checked.

Skoda is absolute gem of an engine. In which diesel is quite efficient,but slightly noisy when compared with petrol which gives low milege. If milege is not an issue, but you need the best luxuries car in that 32L segment, then definitely go for it. Another thing is go for Manual gear if you want less maintenance and enthusiastic drive. In DSG gearbox, maintenance costs huge,its smooth..but takes more expense to maintain..if not it breaksdown in lonterm. So my suggestion is to go for Superb petrol MT

No...go for it

We can't give any verdict on after-sale service as it depends on service center availability in your locality. If we talk about DSG, yes, there were some issues in DSG DQ 200 but now, those issues has been resolved as Skoda has introduced DSG DQ 250.

Yes, the maintenance of Skoda is bit on a higher side as compare to Honda. Although, if you're looking for a performance oriented car that gived you some punch then we would suggest you pick for Skoda Superb. It also offers solid built quality with good fit and finish. Otherwise opt for Honda City if mileage and maintenance is your major concern. Do take a test drive in order to judge your driving comfort.

All the above mentioned cars are good and have their own forte but it would be unfair to bid a value here as it depends on physical condition of the car, KMs driven, no. of owners etc. Here are some points that needs to be checked before purchasing a used car. 1. Do check the services and insurance record of the car to know about the car condition & damage areas. 2. Let the car be parked into an open space, avoiding shadows with adequate sunlight falling on the car & check for any dents and repair work. 3. Step inside and check the interiors and monitor the overall features and details on offer. 4. Get the car checked with the authorized service center to know about the car condition. 5. At last take a test drive & don't forget to bargain over the price to grab a best deal.

Skoda Superb is equipped with ventilated seats but it misses out on speed sensing door lock.
