Verdict
It is not the first time that the Superb will go on sale in India. It has been present for more than a decade. However, the slowly dying sedan segment and the lack of diesel engine option has killed the sales of sedans. Moreover, the new emission norms were the reason why the Superb got discontinued. Nevertheless, it is a time to rejoice Skoda fans!
