Skoda Superb Sportline

Skoda has introduced a new ‘Sportline’ trim for the fourth-gen Superb with some cosmetic updates and new features. The Sportline trim sits atop the range and, as the name suggests, is marketed as a sportier version of the sedan.

  1. Superb Sportline gets blacked-out grille, ORVM caps
  2. Sits 15mm lower than the standard Superb
  3. Available in both sedan and estate forms

Skoda Superb Sportline: what’s new?

All the exterior chrome elements, including the radiator grille frame, window frames and the Skoda badging at the back, are blacked out. The mirror caps are also finished in gloss black. The Superb Sportline is available with 18-inch (standard) or 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, which look strikingly similar to the ones seen on the pre-facelift Hyundai Alcazar sold in India. It also gets Sportline badging on the front fenders and LED Matrix headlights.

The cabin has sportier seats with integrated headrests and manually adjustable thigh support. Skoda is offering an optional Suite Sport Design Selection with AGR-certified leather seats with ventilation, heating and massage functions. Other changes include a black headliner, a faux-carbon fibre effect on the dashboard, steel covers for the pedals and a new three-spoke steering wheel with Skoda lettering instead of the logo seen on the other variants.

Besides the changed looks, the Superb Sportline gets a retuned chassis with a 15mm drop in ride height and progressive steering as a standard feature. Dynamic Chassis Control is also available as an optional extra.

Skoda Superb Sportline: powertrains

Skoda is offering the Sportline with all powertrain options available with the Superb, including the 150hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol, the 150hp, 2.0-litre diesel, the 193hp, 2.0-litre diesel and the 265hp, 2.0-litre turbo-petrol. The Superb Sportline is available in both sedan and estate formats.

In India, Skoda continues to retail the previous-gen Superb, which is now being brought as a CBU. The Superb is priced at Rs 54 lakh, making it almost Rs 8 lakh more expensive than the Toyota Camry, its only direct rival in the country.

The BMW M3 CS will be sold in sedan bodystyle only and in limited numbers worldwide.  BMW M3 sedan gets 550hp twin-turbo petrol Does 0-100kph in 3.4 seconds Gets BMW’s xDrive AWD tech with selectable RWD BMW M3 CS: design and interior  The M3 CS is set apart from the M3 Competition visually by a raft of design tweaks, such as an angrier-looking, open front grille designed to match the front end of BMW’s GT4-spec M4 racer. Gaping air intakes round off the new-look nose. These are joined by a host of items that enhance aerodynamics, such as a wide front splitter and a lipped rear spoiler. It gets special V-spoke gold wheels – 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear – shod with track-focused tyres. The M compound brakes come with red calipers, while carbon-ceramic brakes are also available. The interior broadly matches that of the M3 Competition, w

Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato First Look: The Ideal supercar for India

The biggest phenomenon of the car world this century is the inexorable rise of SUVs. You have them in all shapes and sizes, for every occasion and every purpose. Even true-blue sportscar makers like Porsche, Maserati and Lamborghini have embraced this high-riding body type, which is the antithesis of the sleek, low-slung sportscars these storied brands originally built their legacy and reputation on. Ferrari, too, has just launched its first-ever SUV, which, not long ago, was anathema to the famous Italian marque. It shows that even hallowed brands have no sacred cows left and have succumbed to what is the cash cow of the car market. WRC-style LED spot lamps drive home the rally look.  SUVs make money, plain and simple. Consumers are willing to pay a lot for them and, crucially, they have a much wider appeal than sportscars. So, it’s no surprise that both Porsche and Lamborghini owe their fortunes to the SUVs in their range. Porsche has the Cayenne and Macan, while Lamborghini has j
