Skoda India has relaunched the Skoda Superb sedan in the Indian market. The new model is based on the previous version of the Superb that was on sale in the country. The Czech auto giant has rolled out the premium sedan at a price tag of INR 54 lakh (ex-showroom).

Now, the Superb is being shipped to India as a completely built unit (CBU). As of now, the brand will only sell 100 units of the sedan. The delivery process will commence later this month. The new model is around INR 20 lakh more expensive than the previous Skoda Superb.
The auto giant is offering the Skoda Superb only in the Laurin & Klement version. The Superb is available in three exterior color schemes: Water World Green, Rosso Brunello, and Magic Black. The automaker used to offer the previous version of Superb in the Magic Black color option before it was discontinued in the Indian market.
