With a new engine and crisp new looks, Skoda's updated executive sedan is even better value than before.Skoda has given the styling an extensive nip-and-tuck, and the result is a car that is fairly reminiscent of the brand’s luxury stablemate Audi.Skoda has given the styling an extensive nip-and-tuck, and the result is a car that is fairly reminiscent of the brand’s luxury stablemate Audi.
You also get a bit more metal for your money over the pre-facelift Superb, literally. Granted it's only an extra 8mm of length in the front bumper, but surely every little bit counts for the penny-pinching Singaporean? What the tiny bit of extra length really shows is the attention to detail that Skoda puts into its products.
More Audi cues can be found inside, with the Superb featuring the glitzy all-digital Virtual Cockpit instrument panel that is borrowed from its Ingolstadt cousins. The rest of the cabin is more Volkswagen however, albeit with the sort of premium quality that wouldn't be out of place in a much more expensive car.
The facelifted Superb also has a new engine, with a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol supplanting the outgoing model's 1.8-litre unit. The horsepower count has only gone up by 10, but there's now 70 more Newton-metres of torque.
