The first thought that crossed my mind when I laid my eyes on the new Skoda Superb was “Christian Grey would probably buy this if he were real!” This saloon’s slender and sleek character personifies elegance and can leave you quite weak-kneed.  
 
Skoda’s Superb is quintessential in every respect. The nature of this machine is tamed yet it can unleash brute performance at the flick of a lever and dominate the roads with beastly power. Driving the 2.0L TDI, four-cylinder, diesel top-end variant, which belts out a massive 350Nm of torque from 1,500- 3,500 rpm and a sleek 174.5bhp from 3600-4000rpm, I found out more about this saloon. The power delivery is seamless and feels like a surge from the word go. Adding to the pleasure is a six-speed DSG gearbox mated to this engine for a more refined driving experience. Let me also add that the DSG gearbox is as smooth and seamless as melted butter.
 
Even to look at, the Superb is svelte. Featuring chiselled lines that add to the dapper character, this sedan has got a lot going for it. A clean and straight belt line running from the front, along the side, right to the rear personifies its elegance in a whetted fashion. The cabin and its warm earthy interiors ooze of class and finesse. A rich blend of black and beige integrates technology seamlessly for an opulent user experience. Featuring some top-class kit, the Skoda Superb gets ample of knobs, buttons and functions to play around with and also gets some very unique safety features like “Driver Attention Assist”.

The Skoda Superb offers ample of room for the occupants and the plush upholstery ensures you are more than comfy in its well endowed cabin. It truly is an enticing and well rounded package with just the right levels of flair and panache to woo you.
