Skoda is all set to give the Slavia a mid-life update in India. The Czech carmaker has released the first teaser of the facelifted sedan ahead of its official launch on August 18. The updated Slavia is expected to get styling changes, more features and a major transmission upgrade for the 1.0 TSI variant.
Key Highlights:
  • Skoda Slavia facelift launch set for August 18
  • Updated styling with new grille, bumpers and lighting elements expected
  • 1.0 TSI could get an 8-speed automatic gearbox
  • New features and cabin updates likely

The front grille is also likely to be updated, with integrated lighting elements similar to those seen on the facelifted Kushaq. Skoda could also introduce freshly designed alloy wheels to give the sedan a more refreshed appearance.

Skoda Slavia Facelift: Expected Cabin Features

The overall dashboard layout of the Slavia is expected to remain largely unchanged. However, Skoda could introduce a larger 10.25-inch digital driver's display and new seat upholstery.
Another feature that could make its way to the Slavia is a rear-seat massage function. This feature was introduced with the Kushaq facelift earlier this year, although Skoda is yet to confirm whether it will be offered on the updated sedan.
Existing features such as a sunroof, wireless phone charger, automatic climate control with rear AC vents, six airbags and a tyre-pressure monitoring system are expected to continue.

Skoda Slavia Facelift: Expected Engine and Gearbox

The facelifted Slavia is expected to retain its current petrol engine lineup. This includes the 116bhp 1.0-litre TSI turbo-petrol and the 152bhp 1.5-litre TSI turbo-petrol engines.
The 1.0 TSI is expected to continue with a 6-speed manual gearbox. However, the biggest mechanical update could be the automatic transmission. Skoda is likely to replace the existing 6-speed AQ250 automatic with an 8-speed AQ300 automatic gearbox, which was introduced with the facelifted Kushaq.
