Skoda recently teased the interiors of the upcoming Skoda Slavia ahead of its launch in India. The Skoda Slavia is the brand's second new model for the country and the brand is looking forward to launch the model by the end of winter this year. So, here are the top-5 things to know about the upcoming Skoda Slavia.
1. Exterior
The new Skoda Slavia will follow the Czech brand's latest design language and it will be built on the MQB A0-IN platform that also underpins Skoda's mid-size SUV, the Skoda Kusaq. We expect Skoda Slavia to look very much like the current generation Skoda Octavia.
2. Interior & Space
We expect the upcoming Skoda Slavia to come with good interior space and high ground clearance thanks to the versatile MQB A0-IN platform. Apart from this, the Skoda Slavia measures 4541mm long, 1752mm wide and 1487mm tall, which makes the upcoming Skoda Slavia the second-longest and the widest car in its segment.
Also, with a wheelbase of 2,651mm, we expect the upcoming Skoda Slavia to offer best-in-class rear legroom space.
3. Features
Since the upcoming Skoda Slavia uses the same platform as the recently launched Skoda Kushaq, it is safe to expect a similar set of features such as a large 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, touch-sensitive air-con controls, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, reverse camera, LED headlamps, cooled seats, wireless charging pad, and a few more.
Safety-wise, the Skoda Kushaq may come with 6-airbags, ABS with EBD, TCS, a multi-collision braking system, hill start assist, hill hold control, Anti-Slip Regulation and Motor Slip Regulation, Brake Disc Wiping, Roll Over Protection, TPMS, ISOFIX points and a few more.
4. Powertrain
Expect the upcoming Skoda Slavia to come with an identical set of powertrains as the recently launched Skoda Kusaq.
This means that the upcoming Skoda Slavia will come with engine options such as the frugal 113 bhp 1.0-litre TSI engine and a more potent 150 bhp 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine.
Like the Skoda Kushaq, the upcoming Skoda Slavia will also get the 6-speed manual transmission with both engine options. However, the more powerful 1.5-litre TSI engine will get the 7-speed DSG transmission.
However, the 1.0-litre version will get a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox just like the Skoda Kushaq equipped with the 1.0-litre engine.
5. Price
Though Skoda has not released any details regarding the pricing, we expect Skoda to price the upcoming Skoda Slavia aggressively yet slightly pricier than the Skoda Rapid.
Thoughts About Skoda Slavia
The Skoda Slavia comes under the brand's India 2.0 project and by using a similar platform, Skoda Auto India will be able to price the Skoda Slavia quite aggressively.
That being said, the other advantage of platform sharing is the lower cost of spare parts and easier availability of spares.
