India-bound 2016 Skoda Superb's interior revealed - IAB Report

Unveiling this month, followed by a public premiere next month.

Skoda has released the first images of the new 2016 Superb's interior. The luxury sedan, as announced earlier, will be unveiled this month before a public reveal at the Geneva Motor Show next month.

Skoda says that its aim was to create an interior with a more "modern, elegant and sophisticated look" compared to the outgoing model. The VW-owned car maker says that improvements have been made to the interior dimensions, but hasn't revealed the specifics. The new Superb will feature a "new level of comfort, new technical solutions and high-quality, precise workmanship", says Skoda.

The image released is that of the Laurin & Klement variant, a higher trimmed, fully specced model in the lineup. Features such as a DSG gearbox, dual-zone climate control, touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, cruise control, voice command, auto-parking assist and perforated and heated leather seats are seen on the car.
