Weighing more than 1500 Kg (Kerb Weight), Superb is not really a light sedan. To get this heavy sedan moving and not just that, but to make the ride more fun, Skoda has appointed some peppy engines under its hood. The latest avatar gets two engine options, one being a 1.8-litre petrol heart while the other is a 2.0-litre diesel unit. The turbocharged 1.8 litre TSi petrol unit is capable enough to churn out 180 PS of peak power at 4000 rpm (manual gearbox) along with a maximum torque delivery of 320 Nm (manual gearbox) available as low as 1450 rpm. This turbocharged engine is a driver’s delight which does manage to bring a smile on the drivers face each time you zip around fast corners. To make driving more pleasurable, Skoda offers a 7 speed DSG automatic gearbox variant as well with the petrol unit apart from the standard 6 speed manual gearbox, and this let’s you enjoy the crisp and swift gearshifts on the go. Torque delivery however goes down for the automatic petrol variant at 250 Nm but what remains appealing is the linear power delivery. On the other hand, this large front wheel drive sedan gets a 2.0 litre turbocharged diesel unit that houses 177 PS under its hood at 3600 rpm along with an impressive torque of 350 Nm starting as low as 1500 rpm. On paper, the torque figures might not appear too much but once you take it out for a spin, the diesel engine packed with a standard 6 speed DSG automatic transmission does comes out winning with its punchy torque delivery that makes you have fun even when driving within the city. Riding on Mc Pherson struts at the front and torsion stabilizer multi element axle suspensions at the rear, the ride is very placid especially for the rear passengers. The new Superb does appear more refined on performance with its peppy engines and a well weighted electro mechanical steering which delivers good amount of feedback.
