After unveiling the Slavia sedan last month, Skoda has now officially announced the prices of its mid-size sedan in the Indian market. Prices for the updated Skoda Slavia start at an attractive ₹9.99 lakh, ex-showroom, and go all the way up to ₹18.84 lakh, ex-showroom. The updated version has been launched at a slightly lower price than the outgoing model, while the higher variants are around ₹55,000 more expensive.
The Slavia has already started reaching dealerships, and bookings for the same have also commenced. Now that the official prices are out, deliveries of the Slavia sedan will start from next week.
Making the announcement, Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, said, “The Slavia has become an important part of Škoda Auto India’s sedan legacy, bringing together the design, driving experience, safety and engineering that customers associate with our brand. The new Slavia builds on that strong foundation with a more striking presence, greater comfort, smarter technology and an all-new eight-speed automatic. That is the essence of Says it All: a sedan that does not ask customers to choose between aspiration and practicality, performance and comfort, or technology and peace of mind. It brings these strengths together in one confident, complete package, making the sedan experience even more relevant and desirable for a new generation of customers.”
The Skoda Slavia facelift is available in Classic, Classic+, Signature, Sportline, Prestige, and Monte Carlo variants. The 1.0-litre TSI engine is available across all variants, while the 1.5-litre TSI engine is available on the Prestige and Monte Carlo variants. Except for the base variant, all other variants are available with an automatic transmission as well.
Coming to the exterior design, Skoda has made several cosmetic changes to give the sedan a fresh look. It gets a revised front grille with integrated LED connecting bars. The Slavia also gets all-new LED headlamps and tail lamps with sequential rear turn indicators.
The overall silhouette of the sedan remains unchanged. However, the side profile has been updated with a new set of alloy wheels. The new Slavia is available in Candy White, Carbon Steel, Brilliant Silver, Lava Blue, Deep Black, Cherry Red, Shimla Green, and Steel Grey. Two new colours – Arctic Silver and Cappuccino Beige – are also offered with the sedan. The Monte Carlo variants come with Monte Carlo badging, sporty red stripes, and black exterior elements.
The cabin of the Slavia sedan has also been updated. The overall dashboard design remains largely unchanged, but it now comes with an updated touchscreen infotainment system, a large 10.24-inch driver display, automatic climate control, an electric sunroof, seat ventilation, and more. It also gets a segment-first rear-seat massager function.
Skoda is also offering features such as a 360-degree camera along with 25 active and passive safety features, including six airbags as standard across the range. The higher variants offer more than 40 safety features. Features including a rear defogger, rain-sensing wipers, LED fog lamps, an auto-dimming IRVM, and anti-glare ORVMs are available from the Classic+ variant onwards.
The Slavia’s 1.0-litre TSI engine generates 115 PS and 178 Nm of peak torque. This engine is available with a 6-speed manual and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 1.5-litre TSI engine is offered with a 7-speed DSG only and generates 150 PS and 250 Nm of peak torque.
