I just bought this car 5 days back L&K variant after comparing the test drive of Camry & superb . Ride & handling is just superb !!! 👌 Got installed the led screen at the rear head rest & now its a connected car . The accessory list is just endless . Like there’s two chiller compartment in both the dashboard to keep your drinks chilled . Umbrellas in both the doors , sun shade at the rear apart from rear windows aswell , inbuilt 2 SD card slot one for navigation which comes with car & another for your media files supporting 128 GB . 2 USB ports for charging as well for connecting phone & 3 ports of 12V sockets one at from , another for rear seat & third one for boot & the list is really long for other features . And with such huge boot to fit in a baby elephant & such plush & comfy back seats it’s just superb peace of mind . I also opted for the Skoda maintainance package to make sure no other charges pop out if something goes wrong for the next 4 years/1,00,000 kms .

Gavin's reviews are brilliant. He knows his topic well, has a good vocabulary, pleasant demeanor, and knows exactly how much to talk. He doesn't have the air of arrogance that I've seen with some in the field. In short - professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Thanks for another good review, Gavin!
Test drove recently the same L&K trim - this is all the car one would ever need in life. It's perfect and literally superb!

Varun Kumar Bro thing is in india people want vehicles highers off the ground , and its herd mentality , if spending more than 30 lakhs get an suv , even if its not required just to have that road presence . No body in india gives a damn about stability , comfort , handling etc except very few , that is the reason people are going gaga about suv’s .
I think Gavin has become the forerunner in autocar presentations. He nails the flow and facts so effortlessly. Amazing
God I'm so jealous of Gavin after watching this video. His face wears such a satisfactory and relishing smile while driving the superb. I think that's just about enough proof required to establish what a great package the superb is.
From my perspective view SUVs are just a hype, Sedan cars are emotions & I got Best cruising Experiences, I love sedan cars, And superb is simply Superb. best in class

One of the best car 👌 always excited me more the rear passenger seats phenomenal 👌 the real value for money car for an upper middle class Indian who things about luxury
This made me fall in love with sedan again 😍
Rarely does a car live up to its name and that too so effectively.
and what kind of speaker(s) does Sportline get? swing audio? or canton regular stereo without subwoofer? any ideas?

I have driven this car and its just mind blowing ! The way it drive is just phenominal🔥🔥 very very quick
Can u get/fit same virtual cockpit in L&K from aftermarket ?
@autocarindia love the review as always! Beautifully done Gavin. May I know what was the location of this shoot? Would love to take my car for a spin there in monsoons... Thanks
Gavin’s reviews are a delight to watch. Keep it up bro.
Whenever he is looking towards camera while driving, my mind is like look at that goddamn road quickly.... LoL
Where is the shoot location? Road looks amazing. Which road is it?
quick Q: this updated superb is just launched in may end 2020. with an 8inch touch screen infotainment. Now there is news about updating the head unit again for Rapid, Kodiaq and superb in 2021. is that true? do u have any insight to that. What HU does this 2020 have? Amundsen? or columbus? or bolero?
How much is the ground clearance in this 2020 new version?
I can see Autocars videos improving day by day. The music is so much better and modern now. Great work
Are the Coffee Brown Interior Option Available with All Exterior Colors in L&K
The sportline is 🔥🔥 ...the modern rugged look...and the colour 😍🔥🔥
Feels like a bmw especially the vertical radiator chrome
What location are you guys shooting at?
I am an Indian.. but really really love those German meschines.. can't even afford a rapid now.. but I am sure of the long smiles this car will put on the DRIVERS face for I own a polo TDI for last 5 years.
Hey GAVIN loved the review and music too can provide me with proper link and name 😅😁
Which model DSG 7 speed box is used on this car? I don't think it is the same DQ200 in Polo GT
It's been always my favourite car. If I'm not wrong this used to come with ALL WHEEL DRIVE back then. which makes this car so special always comes with segment above features.
Can you plz make review of sport line varient.
What's weird is that the lower variant gets a virtual cockpit while the top trim only gets the analogue dials
Hey Gavin .. I just saw a video of Skoda Superb Sportline. Can you make a video on the same and suggest as which one should be opted for an an enthusiast but an low cost to maintenance perspective as well.
Nice 💞 It's Really Pleasure To Hear Through You Always Gavin D Souza As You In Autocar Helm Is Great ♥️
Half of the so called SUVs sold here aren't even SUVs
I own both 1st and 2nd generation of superb and I experienced this is the best car in its segment
Shouldn't the Lauren and Klement model get All Digital Instrument Cluster?
I will prefer a sedan over an SUV any given day ... And this beauty for sure is worth it
Gavin u r best among Autocar family ,ur review and ur words r class apart from other reviewers ,Renuka also do the work quite well . This review was also good.

I bought this car after seeing Autocar's first review, in 2017. 3 years down the lane, It hasn't lost any of its charm. In fact, I feel laid-back in comfort everytime I enter its cabin. I have driven the Skoda Kodiak and Toyota Fortuner, in the same price bracket. And I can, without the fear of God, tell you, that the Superb, pound - for - pound, is a much better ride. Better riding position, better upholstery, almost no body roll at corners, better leg space. It's even better at the back. And that boot, man. As Autocar had earlier said, "You can fit half of China back there".

Nice review!!! Please review the Sportline version as well. Please can you also let us know how is the ground clearance for all those rough, under construction roads or dust tracks and poorly designed speed breakers?
New Music!! Too good 😍
Nice review! Thanks! I was interested in the Sportline version. New this engine come with port and direct injection combination I hear. Which is very good because the E888 series was notoriously famous for the clogged inlet valves as there was only the direct injection available. But now that problem will be resolved. I would like to know the differences between the L and K and the sport line. Sportline gets alcantara leather seats and the digital speedo, which the L and K does not get. Surprizsed!
Does it comes with AWD???
Also is it worth buying skoda superb in that price range compared to other cars available in that budget??
Now adays skoda looks betterthan BMW
Man, where do they shoot these videos, the location is so beautiful.
Dear well done. What about the noise inside the cabinet
