The 2021 Skoda Superb line-up has been fleshed out with the introduction of the base 162TSI Style, though the higher-riding Scout has been removed from local price lists.
The 162TSI returns the option of front-wheel drive to the Superb line-up, while lowering the cost of entry to the range by $10,000.
The new entry-level model is around $9000 more expensive than the last Superb 162TSI sold here, though it features a commensurately longer list of standard kit.
UPDATE, 17/05/21 – We’ve updated this article with details of the 162TSI Style and brought it forward.
The Superb range returned to Australia in November 2021 after a hiatus, which saw the introduction of the facelifted model delayed by 12 months.
The delay was a result of supply constraints related to tough new European emission testing.
