Skoda Slavia Facelift: Pricelist & Powertrain Options

Prices for the Skoda Slavia facelift start at Rs 10 lakh for the 1.0 TSI manual in Classic trim and go up to Rs 18.84 lakh for the 1.5 TSI automatic in Monte Carlo guise. The sedan is sold in six variants, and the prices below are in Rs lakh, ex-showroom.

Both direct-injection turbo-petrol engines carry over. The 1.0-litre unit makes 115hp and 178Nm, while the 1.5-litre produces 150hp and 250Nm. The 1.0 TSI keeps its 6-speed manual and the 1.5 TSI continues with a 7-speed DCT. Automatic versions of the 1.0-litre engine now get a new 8-speed torque converter automatic that replaces the older 6-speed unit.

Skoda Slavia Facelift - Exterior and Interior Changes

The Skoda Slavia facelift retains the silhouette of the outgoing model. Up front, there are updated LED headlamps with segmented DRLs, a segmented chrome strip on the grille, new LED foglamps and a sportier bumper with a revised air dam.

The 16-inch alloy wheels get a new design and the window line gets a chrome tip. At the rear, the Skoda Slavia facelift carries revised LED tail-lamps with sequential turn indicators, updated Skoda badging and a restyled bumper.

New colour options are Arctic Silver and Cappuccino Beige. Monte Carlo versions get blacked-out exterior elements, black alloy wheels, red accents on the grille, dedicated 'Monte Carlo' badges and dual-tone paint choices.

Inside, the standard trims carry over the beige-and-black theme with copper inserts, but the leatherette seats now have a monotone finish instead of the earlier dual-tone. Monte Carlo versions go for an all-black theme with red inserts, red graphics across the screens, and black leatherette seats with contrast red stitching. The two-spoke steering wheel, the recessed space on the dash, circular air vents and touch-based HVAC controls are unchanged.

Skoda Slavia Facelift - Feature Updates

The Skoda Slavia facelift's infotainment screen is slightly larger at 10.1 inches and gets a Google AI assistant. A new 10.25-inch digital driver's display offers configurable screens, and the feature list now includes a 360-degree camera and a segment-only rear seat massage function.

A new variable-geometry compressor for the HVAC system improves AC performance. Carried over are a single-pane sunroof, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charger, powered and ventilated front seats and an 8-speaker audio system.

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."
