The sedan comes with LED headlamps, LED taillamps and LED DRls which makes the car even premium.

Engine

Skoda Superb 2020

The Skoda Superb 2020 comes with a BS6-compliant 2,0-litre TSI petrol engine replacing the previous 1.8-litre TSI petrol engine. The 2.0-litre engine produces nearly 190 bhp max power and 320 Nm of peak torque which makes it the most powerful sedan below Rs 30 lakhs. The engine comes mated to the 7-speed DSG gearbox which is carried from the previous model. The diesel engine we believe is completely gone with the Skoda lineup at least for a while. But we can expect the diesel engine to feature after a little while as the diesel variant was showcased at the Auto Expo. Nevertheless. We’ll move on to the variants of the 2020 Skoda Superb.
