The sharp headlamp gets an all new DRL setup with LED projectors, while the tail lamps are also done keeping the sharp theme in mind. 

The insides of the car supports a minimalist design approach, are done with minimalistic design approach, however, as it is the case with current Superb, the attention to detail and quality can be expected to be on par with the competition. There would be an all-new infotainment system that’d support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The music system will be hooked to 12 speakers, while there will be the three zone climate control to ensure comfort.

Speaking of the engines, the Superb is expected to retain the same 2.0-litre TDI diesel motor, but it might produce 190 PS of power and 400 Nm of torque. Unlike the current engine which generates 140 PS and 320 Nm .
