Under the hood, Skoda has paired its 1.0‑litre TSI with a new eight‑speed torque‑converter gearbox, a first for the compact‑sedan segment. The change means fewer jerks, better fuel economy and a more polished driving feel.
The exterior got a subtle, upscale makeover: new LED headlights, a chrome strip across the grille, and fresh alloy wheels. Two new paint palettes – Arctic Silver and Cappuccino Beige – add a splash of personality, with the latter arriving in December 2026.
Inside, the 25.6‑inch touchscreen now comes with wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and a Google‑Cloud‑powered voice assistant that can change climate settings or fetch traffic updates with a single command. The Prestige trim even sports a rear‑seat massage system and ventilated front seats, a rarity in this class.
Safety stays uncompromised: every variant ships with six airbags and more than 25 active/passive features, earning a 5‑star Global NCAP rating. Prices range from ₹9.99 lakh for the basic Classic 1.0‑TSI manual up to ₹18.84 lakh for the Monte Carlo 1.5‑TSI DSG. Skoda also backs the model with a four‑year/1,00,000 km warranty.
For buyers eyeing the midsize sedan market, the Slavia’s new gearbox, lower price point and added tech give it a credible edge over the Maruti GS4 and Hyundai i20. Dealerships across India already stock the facelift, so you can hit the road today and compare the smoother shifts for yourself.
