The Škoda Slavia has established itself as a premium mid-size sedan in India, blending European design with practical everyday usability. Known for its sharp styling, refined interiors, and safety-focused engineering, the Slavia competes in a space traditionally dominated by Japanese and Korean rivals. With both 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engines, it offers a wide range of choices from efficiency-focused commuters to performance-driven enthusiasts all while upholding Škoda’s reputation for quality.

Until recently, however, Slavia’s ex-showroom pricing was weighed down by India’s GST and cess structure. As a petrol sedan over 4 metres in length, it fell under the mid-size category, attracting 28% GST and 17% cess, bringing the total tax to 45%. This significantly inflated its pricing, especially for top-spec trims.

With the rollout of GST 2.0, effective September 22, 2025, the cess has been removed and replaced by a flat 40% GST rate. This 5% reduction in tax has brought a meaningful price drop by nearly ₹37,000–₹63,000, depending on the variant. For a premium sedan like the Slavia, this makes it more attractive against rivals such as the Hyundai Verna, Honda City, and Volkswagen Virtus.

Why have the prices been reduced for the Skoda Slavia?

The Slavia falls under the mid-size car category, which includes sedans longer than 4 metres with engines up to 1500cc. Here’s how the tax structure has changed.

Category	Old GST	Old Cess	Old Total Tax	New GST	New Total Tax	Change in Tax
Mid-size cars (up to 1,500cc)	28%	17%	45%	40%	40%	5% lower than before

This simplified taxation under GST 2.0 removes the cess entirely and applies a single flat rate, leading to a direct price drop. For a mid-size sedan like the Slavia, this makes ownership more appealing for buyers looking for premium features at a more affordable price point.

When are the new rates applicable?

The revised GST rates are effective from September 22, 2025. Any Škoda Slavia variant invoiced, registered, or delivered after this date will reflect the reduced ex-showroom price under the 40% GST rate.

If you are looking for a premium mid-size sedan with a stylish design and all the essential features, the Škoda Slavia is a good option to consider. Plus, with the new GST rates, you can save up to ₹63,000, depending on the variant.

Disclaimer: The new prices mentioned in this article are tentative and based on the revised GST rates applicable from 22 September 2025. Final ex-showroom prices may vary slightly as manufacturers and dealerships update their pricing structures in line with the new taxation policy.
