- The SKODA SLAVIA has been announced as a part of the brand's "India 2.0" strategy to launch four new models in association with Volkswagen.
- The SLAVIA serves as a replacement to the RAPID model on our shores. It is the first sedan to be built on the localized MQB-A0-IN platform and is tipped to be priced competitively. It will rival the Hyundai VERNA.
The SKODA SLAVIA has a sloping roofline, a muscular hood, sleek LED headlamps, and a chrome-surrounded butterfly grille with vertical slats. It is flanked by black B-pillars, ORVMs, and 16-inch alloy wheels. A shark-fin antenna, a raked windscreen, and wrap-around C-shaped LED taillights grace the rear end. The four-wheeler has a length of 4,541mm, a wheelbase of 2,651mm, and a width of 1,752mm.
The SKODA SLAVIA is fueled by a 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine that makes 113hp/178Nm and a 1.5-liter turbo-petrol mill that generates 148hp/250Nm. Transmission duties are taken care of by a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed automatic, and a 7-speed DSG gearbox.
SKODA SLAVIA has a spacious 5-seater cabin with ventilated seats, black and beige upholstery, a wireless charger, rear AC vents, and a 2-spoke multifunctional steering wheel. The sedan houses an 8.0-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.0-inch touchscreen infotainment console with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The safety of the passengers is ensured by six airbags and a rear-view camera.
The pricing and availability details of the SKODA SLAVIA in India will be revealed at the time of its launch. However, the four-wheeler is expected to bear a starting price-tag of around Rs. 10.5 lakh (ex-showroom).
