Skoda Auto India has announced the prices of the Slavia facelift today, with prices starting at Rs 9.99 lakh and going up to Rs 18.84 lakh (ex-showroom). It continues with the same powertrain setup, featuring the 1.0-litre TSI and 1.5-litre TSI engines. The Slavia is available in six variants and ten colour options.
Below, we'll talk more about the new offerings on this car and which variants provide the best value for money. Lastly, the press release states that deliveries will start next week.
Skoda Slaiva Facelift
The updated Slavia has received several cosmetic and mechanical changes, with the biggest being the introduction of a new 8-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox. It replaces the 6-speed automatic gearbox offered with the 1.0-litre TSI engine. Skoda says this new gearbox improves fuel efficiency by 4%. Skoda has also replaced the AC compressor, which significantly improves the cooling performance compared with the outgoing model.
Moreover, with the facelift, Skoda has introduced several segment-first features, including rear massaging seats and a 10-inch infotainment screen with an AI assistant powered by Google Cloud. Other new features include a 360-degree parking camera, four front parking sensors and a new 10-inch virtual cockpit with multiple drive modes and turn-by-turn navigation.
Skoda Slavia Facelift Exterior
The refreshed Slavia gets a sharper front end and a few changes at the rear. It now features all-new LED headlamps, along with a horizontal chrome strip across the grille. The LED taillamps have also been redesigned and now get sequential turn indicators. New 16-inch alloy wheel designs and changes to the front and rear structures round off the update.
The overall shape of the sedan remains unchanged. The familiar silhouette, sharp character lines and proportions have been carried over. The sportier Monte Carlo variant gets a few styling-specific changes, including a Monte Carlo badge, red accents and black exterior elements.
This sedan will be available in eight colours: Candy White, Carbon Steel, Brilliant Silver, Lava Blue, Deep Black, Cherry Red, Shimla Green and Steel Grey. Arctic Silver and Cappuccino Beige are the two new additions, with deliveries of the latter starting in December 2026.
Engine and Fuel Efficiency
Engine | 1.0L TSI | 1.5L TSI EVO |
|---|---|---|
Displacement | 999cc | 1498cc |
Power | 115 PS | 150 PS |
Torque | 178 Nm | 250 Nm |
Gearbox | 6-MT/ 8-AT | 7-DSG |
Fuel Efficiency | 19.76 kmpl/19.50 kmpl | 18.79 kmpl |
The powertrain options are unchanged. Skoda continues with the 1.0L TSI and 1.5L TSI, both world-class engines, and the 1.0L TSI was honoured with the prestigious International Engine of the Year award in 2018. The 1.0L TSI suits everyday needs and also offers great performance. But if you love spirited driving, the 1.5L TSI will satiate your desires, which is why it is offered only with the lightning-quick 7-speed DSG gearbox.
On fuel efficiency, if you want the best mileage, go with the 1.0L TSI with the manual gearbox, which comes with a claimed 19.76 kmpl.
Pricing and Variants
Variants | 1.0L TSI MT | 1.0L TSI 8-AT | 1.5L DSG |
|---|---|---|---|
Classic | Rs 9,99,900 | - | - |
Classic+ | Rs 10,99,000 | Rs 12,49,000 | - |
Signature | Rs 13,94,000 | Rs 14,94,000 | - |
Sportline | Rs 14,34,000 | Rs 15,34,000 | - |
Prestige | Rs 15,89,000 | Rs 16,89,000 | Rs 18,59,000 |
Monte Carlo | Rs 17,29,000 | Rs 18,84,000 |
In total, there are six variants, with the Monte Carlo being the sporty one that gets a different set of design elements. The good part is that it is available with both the 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre TSI engines, although only with an automatic gearbox.
Special mention goes to the pricing. At Rs 10 lakh, you get a well-equipped sedan with 25+ safety features, automatic climate control, a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen and 15-inch steel wheels. Skoda has spread the features across the variants quite well, and even the top-spec version stays below the Rs 19 lakh mark. That makes the Slavia a strong value proposition, especially for buyers looking at the higher variants.
End Note
Priced from Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the new Slavia gets several updates without moving away from what has worked for the sedan. The visual changes are joined by two new colours, Arctic Silver and Cappuccino Beige, with deliveries of the latter starting in December 2026. Skoda is also offering its Super Care package, which includes a 4-year warranty, 4 years of roadside assistance and four labour-free services. With more features, multiple powertrain options and a stronger ownership package, the updated Slavia has plenty going for it in the premium sedan segment. Also, ahead of the launch, we at 91Wheels got the oppurtunity to drive it.
