SKODA SLAVIA 1.5 TSI model launched at Rs. 16.2 lakh
SKODA has launched the 1.5-liter TSI engine-equipped variant of the SLAVIA sedan in India. It is offered in only the top-end Style trim. The car is available with manual as well as automatic transmission and starts at Rs. 16.19 lakh (ex-showroom). To recall, the 1.0-liter TSI engine model of the four-wheeler was launched in India last month at Rs. 10.69 lakh.
- After launching the 1.0 TSI model for the masses, SKODA has announced the 1.5 TSI version of SLAVIA. In essence, there are no visible distinguishing factors between the two models to justify the price difference.
- However, the SLAVIA 1.5 TSI is the answer to those looking for a more powerful mid-sized sedan and is offered in a single, fully-loaded Style trim.
The SKODA SLAVIA sports a muscular hood, a sloping roofline, sleek LED projector headlamps, fog lights, and a chrome-surrounded butterfly grille with vertical slats. On the sides, it has ORVMs, blacked-out B-pillars, and 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. The rear side of the car is graced by a shark-fin antenna, wrap-around C-shaped LED taillights, bumper-mounted reflectors, and SKODA lettering on the boot-lid.
The SKODA SLAVIA 1.5 TSI is powered by a 1.5-liter TSI petrol engine that churns out 148hp of maximum power and 250Nm of peak torque. Transmission duties are handled by a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed DCT gearbox.
The SKODA SLAVIA features a 5-seater cabin with ventilated front seats, automatic climate control, an electric sunroof, and a two-spoke multifunctional steering wheel. It houses an 8.0-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.0-inch touchscreen infotainment panel. For passengers' safety, the car has six airbags, a rear-view parking camera, electronic stability control, hill-hold control, and an electronic differential lock system.
The SKODA SLAVIA 1.5 TSI MT model is priced at Rs. 16.19 lakh, while the automatic variant carries a price-tag of Rs. 17.79 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom). The 1.0 TSI model is priced between Rs. 10.69-15.39 lakh.
