The Skoda Slavia boasts a sporty and elegant design, featuring a prominent hexagonal grille, sleek crystalline LED headlights, and C-shaped LED tail lamps. Its coupe-like silhouette and wide stance make it visually appealing, setting it apart in its class.
The Slavia provides a substantial boot capacity of 521 litres, making it practical for long trips or daily use. It comes with an impressive ground clearance of 145 mm and a McPherson suspension as well.
The Slavia offers two turbo-petrol engines — a 1.0-litre TSI with a 6-speed manual and automatic transmission, and a 1.5-litre TSI with a 6-speed manual transmission and 7-speed DSG.
With over 40 safety features, including six airbags, ESC, hill-hold control, and a rear parking camera, the Skoda Slavia has achieved a 5-star GNCAP safety rating.
The absence of diesel and CNG variants may deter some buyers who prefer multiple options for their fuel efficiency or torque characteristics, especially in the Indian market.
The 1.0-litre TSI engine still lacks refinement and impacts the performance in the long run. In the city, fuel efficiency is a major concern for Skoda Slavia.
For a modern-age sedan, Skoda Slavia still misses out on some standard features like ADAS and adaptive cruise control.
Plastic materials used inside the cabin of Skoda Slavia and the lack of finishing touches don’t help it provide a premium and luxurious look, especially when compared to the other high-end Skodas.
