Design and Features of The Skoda Slavia

During the sedan’s global debut late last year, Skoda revealed the new sedan’s interior and exterior styling. The design of the Slavia is very similar to that of the other Skoda sedans (Octavia and Superb), as it is sleek, well proportioned, and chic, with just enough chrome accents to appeal to Indian buyers.

The Slavia is noticeably larger than the Rapid it replaces, thanks to the Volkswagen Group’s localised MQB-A0-IN platform (same as the Kushaq). The Slavia is one of the largest models in the segment, measuring 4,541mm long, 1,752mm wide, 1,487mm tall, and having a 2,651mm wheelbase. The Slavia has a 179mm ground clearance.

The layered dashboard, free-standing 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, and dual tone beige and black interior theme, all of which come standard on the top-spec trim, give the Slavia a very neat and upmarket look.

Connected car technology, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, automatic climate control, ventilated front seats, leatherette upholstery, a sunroof, a wireless charger, rear AC vents, and a rear centre armrest are all available on the fully equipped Style trim. Six airbags, ESC, an electronic differential system (EDS), and a tyre pressure monitor are among the many safety features included.

As previously stated, Skoda will offer the Slavia with two turbo-petrol engines, but only the lower capacity engine – the 115hp, 175Nm, 1.0-litre, three-cylinder TSI engine – has been priced. It is available with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque convertor automatic gearbox.

The ARAI mileage rating for the 1.0 TSI manual powertrain is 19.47 kpl, while the automatic version is 18.07 kpl.

In comparison, the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine in the latest Honda City claims to deliver 17.8 kpl with a 6-speed manual transmission and 18.4 kpl with the CVT automatic transmission.

The 150hp, 1.5-litre, four-cylinder TSI engine, which will be available with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT automatic transmission, is the other, more powerful engine set to join the Skoda Slavia range in the coming days.
