Mumbai: Skoda Auto India has unveiled the new Slavia, reinforcing its commitment to customers who appreciate the timeless appeal of sedans combined with modern technology, safety and driving pleasure.

Building on the success of one of India’s most popular sedan platforms, the new Slavia continues the brand’s tradition of delivering European engineering that is engaging to drive, practical to own and made for India’s demanding customers.

The unveiling also marked a celebration of Skoda’s global sedan heritage, with the new Slavia taking centre stage alongside two iconic nameplates marking its return to India — the Octavia RS and the all-new Superb.

The new Slavia builds on its sophisticated design language with a range of styling enhancements that elevate its premium appeal. The sedan features all-new LED headlamps and tail lamps with sequential rear turn indicators, creating a more distinctive visual signature on the road.

The front is now accentuated with a chrome strip running across the grille. In addition, the revised front and rear structures, along with the new alloy wheel designs, further enhance the sedan’s contemporary appearance and its poised stance.

The Slavia will be offered from the start of sales with the Classic, Classic+, Signature, Sportline and Prestige variants and for the first time, the Monte Carlo trim will also be available, right from launch. The new Slavia brings exclusive styling elements that amplify the sedan’s sporty character and visual appeal.

The sedan, based on variants, will be available in Candy White, Carbon Steel, Brilliant Silver, Lava Blue, Deep Black, Cherry Red, Shimla Green and Steel Grey. For the new Slavia, the brand is also introducing two new colours, Arctic Silver and Cappuccino Beige. Pre-bookings for the new Slavia have started at Rs. 15,000.

Skoda Auto CEO Klaus Zellmer said, “India remains one of our most important global growth markets and a great example of what Skoda Auto can achieve when we listen closely to our customers. The new Slavia builds on this approach. It strengthens a model that has become a real success story, earning the trust of customers and establishing itself as one of the best-selling sedans in its segment. This success belongs to our teams, our dealer partners and our customers…”

Skoda Auto India also showcased the all-new Octavia RS, one of the most celebrated performance models in the brand’s history and the Superb TDI.
