Czech automaker Skoda had discontinued its popular Superb sedan in the Indian market due to BS6 Phase II emissions norms. However, Skoda India has now confirmed that the Skoda Superb is being reintroduced in the country on April 3, 2024. Also, unlike its previous iterations, the Superb will no longer undergo local assembly but will be imported as a completely built unit (CBU) under the GSR 870 rule which allows a yearly import quota of 2,500 units without homologation.

Skoda Superb - Price in India 

The Skoda Superb was previously priced between Rs 34.19-37.29 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. However, its return as a completely built unit (CBU) will likely result in a higher price tag. It is estimated that the prices of the Skoda Superb will likely range between Rs 45 - Rs 55 lakh (ex-showroom). Following the Superb's comeback, Skoda plans to reintroduce the Octavia sedan with the arrival of the new-generation model, also as a full import.
