Skoda Superb vs Toyota Camry: Specifications Compared

Skoda Auto India relaunched the Superb in India making it the latest addition to the executive sedan segment in India. The other executive sedan on sale in India is the Toyota Camry hybrid. While the Superb will be available in India in limited numbers, the Camry is not. Let’s compare how the Czech sedan compares to the Japanese sedan on paper. 

Skoda Superb vs Toyota Camry: Dimensions

The Camry is 16 mm longer than the Superb but its wheelbase is 11 mm shorter than the Superb. The longer wheelbase, at least on paper, should help the Superb have more leg space for the passengers. The Superb is also wider and taller than the Camry by 24 mm and 48 mm, respectively. 

The Superb’s 66-litre fuel tank is significantly larger than the 50-litre fuel tank in the Camry. However, the Camry will be more fuel efficient as it is a strong-hybrid vehicle. Furthermore, the Superb is also 100 kg lighter than the Camry as it doesn’t house the hybrid powertrain and batteries.

Skoda Superb vs Toyota Camry: Powertrain

Both, the Superb and the Camry get a four-cylinder engine. While the Superb gets a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, the Camry gets a 2.5-litre petrol engine with strong hybrid assist. The Camry is also the more powerful of the two a combined 215 bhp from its engine and electric motors. The Superb produces 320 Nm, but the combined torque figure of the Camry is not available as it is a strong hybrid. Furthermore, the Camry gets an e-CVT (automatic) and the Superb gets Skoda’s venerable 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
