While Skoda will launch the new Superb in India at the Auto Expo 2014, it will be a facelift. On the other hand, the next-gen 2015 Superb will be entirely new and will be built on Volkswagen's MQB platform. To further bring down production cost the 2015 Superb will share as much as 50 percent of its parts with the Volkswagen Passat.
Skoda Superb will continue to be positioned on the outer edges of its segment in terms of vehicle size and as usual, will be manufactured in saloon and estate vehicle (only in international markets) body types. One of the changes that will feature in the next gen Superb will be the dropping of the dual hatchback tailgate boot opening, according to Vahland, who said it has proved too expensive for production.
Lastly, the largest engine variant that will be provided with the 2015 Skoda will be a 2.0 liter four cylinder unit. The relatively small engine will not only decrease the weight, but also improve fuel economy. Skoda will also make the new Superb more aerodynamic in a bid to increase efficiency.
