Skoda’s popular mid-size sedan Skoda Slavia has made a mark in the Indian market with its blend of European design, solid build quality, and turbocharged petrol engines. Positioned as a premium alternative to compact SUVs, the Slavia stands out for those who prefer a low-slung car with sporty dynamics and refined interiors. In 2025, the sedan sees mild updates in features while retaining its powerful engine lineup and stylish design language.
Sharp Styling with a European Touch
The Skoda Slavia sports a sharp front grille, L-shaped LED DRLs, projector headlamps, sculpted bonnet, and a fastback-inspired rear. The sedan carries a low and wide stance, which not only improves stability but also gives it an aggressive road presence. It rides on 16-inch alloy wheels and is available in elegant shades like Crystal Blue, Carbon Steel, and Tornado Red. The build quality is top-notch, staying true to Skoda’s German engineering standards.
Spacious Cabin Loaded with Features
Inside, the Slavia features a dual-tone dashboard, a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ventilated front seats, and climate control. Higher variants also offer a single-pane electric sunroof, digital cockpit, and ambient lighting. The rear seat offers excellent knee room and a flat floor, making it ideal for families.
Two Turbo Petrol Engines with Exciting Performance
Skoda offers the Slavia with two TSI turbo petrol engines – a 1.0L 3-cylinder TSI producing 115hp and a 1.5L 4-cylinder TSI with 150hp and active cylinder technology. Transmission options include 6-speed manual, 6-speed torque converter (1.0L), and 7-speed DSG (1.5L). The 1.5L variant especially stands out for enthusiasts, delivering thrilling acceleration while maintaining decent fuel efficiency of up to 18.72 kmpl.
5-Star Safety and Solid Ride Quality
Built on the same MQB-A0-IN platform as the Kushaq, the Slavia boasts 5-star Global NCAP safety rating. Standard features include 6 airbags, ESC, hill-hold control, rear camera, and ISOFIX mounts. The suspension setup strikes a balance between comfort and stability, and the car feels confident at high speeds as well as during city drives.
Pricing and Variants
The Skoda Slavia is priced between ₹11.63 lakh to ₹18.83 lakh (ex-showroom), available in Active, Ambition, and Style variants. The top-end 1.5 DSG variant offers premium features and is ideal for those who want the best blend of performance, comfort, and features.
