Skoda specializes in sedans and with the introduction of the new Skoda Slavia puts them in a great position to take over the sedan market in India. Since the first release of the Octavia, Skoda has established itself as a premium brand for 2 decades ago. SUV and hatchback follow a trend but the 4-seater sedan has always been the front runner of Skoda and has stayed the most consistent car segment and the Slavia aims to bear the Skoda’s flag forward.
The Slavia looks gorgeous from the front where it is recognizably a Skoda with its trademark grille. The winged headlights, dramatically cut bumper, and two main indentations coming down the hood to give a sort of power dome effect look quite expressive and might be a considerable advantage over its soon-to-arrive cousin, the Volkswagen Virtus, which has a comparatively simple styled front bumper and hood. Although the Slavia has the largest boot in its class thanks to a huge rear overhang, one can still tell from the sides that it is well proportioned and balanced. The exterior of the Slavia is quite clean, but some distinguishing features, such as the chrome strip that crosses the window line and curls towards the back and quarter windows, stick out and make for a beautiful-looking vehicle.
Pros
- Sharply Styled And Premium Looks
- Comfortable Cabin At The Front And Rear
- 1.5 Tsi Engine Is A Driver’S Delight
Cons
- 1.0 Tsi Gets Noisy At High Speeds
- Under Thigh Support Could Be Better At The Rear
- 1.5 Tsi Could Do With More Exterior Upgrades
Verdict
The Slavia 1.5 is going up against the likes of Honda City, Hyundai Verna and the soon to be launched VW Virtus in the market. And looking at the prices of the Style trim of the 1.0 liter model that ranges from Rs 13.59 lakh to 15.39 lakh, the 1.5 litre Slavia could start around ₹ 14.5 lakh, ex-showroom. That could make it the most expensive offering in the segment, but as we've seen with some recent cars, that strategy has worked well for Skoda.
Skoda Slavia Price List (Variant Wise)
Skoda Slavia Ex-Showroom price ranges from ₹ 10 to 17.7 Lakh. Skoda offers Slavia in 26 variants. The top variant of Slavia is Prestige 1.5 TSI AT and the base variant is Classic 1.0 TSI MT.
