The Skoda Slavia facelift gets subtle design changes and a new 8-speed automatic gearbox with its 1.0-litre engine.
Skoda Auto has launched the Slavia facelift in India with prices starting at ₹9.99 lakh and reaching up to ₹18.84 lakh (ex-showroom).
Marking the sedan's first significant mid-cycle update since its 2022 introduction, the refreshed model retains its entry-level pricing while increasing top-end variant prices by ₹64,000. The updated Slavia continues to compete against the Volkswagen Virtus, Honda City, and Hyundai Verna.
Exterior enhancements feature updated LED headlights with segmented daytime running lights, a chrome-detailed grille, new LED fog lamps, and restyled front and rear bumpers. The profile includes redesigned 16-inch alloy wheels, while the rear gets revised LED tail lamps with sequential indicators.
Skoda introduced Arctic Silver and Capuccino Beige paint options, alongside a sportier Monte Carlo edition featuring blacked-out exterior trim and red accent detailing.
Inside the cabin, key equipment updates include a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Google AI assistant integration, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 360-degree camera, and a segment-exclusive rear seat massage feature.
A new variable geometry compressor addresses climate control performance, while features such as ventilated front seats, a single-pane sunroof, and wireless phone charging remain. However, the sedan still skips an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) suite.
Powertrain options continue with the 114 bhp/178 Nm, 1.0-litre TSI and 148 bhp/250 Nm, 1.5-litre TSI turbo-petrol engines. While manual gearboxes and the 7-speed DCT transmission for the 1.5-litre engine are retained, 1.0-litre automatic variants upgrade from a 6-speed unit to a new 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
