After receiving mechanical upgrades in its powertrain, the Skoda Slavia is now more fuel efficient than before. This takes its mileage number across the 20 kmpl mark. The new engines are now BS6 Phase 2 compliant and also E20 compatible. Given the fact that this complies with the latest emission norms and is also more economical is a good outcome for both customers and the manufacturer,

Let's jump right into the new mileage numbers compared to the older ones.

Skoda Slavia - Now More Fuel Efficient

The increase after the latest engine update is around a 5% jump in mileage. It has now increased by 0.95 km for the highest change and a new claimed mileage of 20.32 kmpl across variants.

Slavia Scores A 5-Star Safety Rating In Global NCAP

What's another feather in the cap of Slavia is the impeccable safety rating that it scored in Global NCAP. It scores a full 5-star rating according to the new testing norms of the crash testing agency. The accompanying sedan from this segment is the Volkswagen Virtus, which also took home all the stars. In fact, the new protocols have been made stricter with side pole impact, pedestrian safety, ESC on board, and also the seat belt reminder.

Anniversary Edition Launch In Premium Lava Blue

Another new update of this robust sedan is the new Anniversary Edition in Lava Blue paint job, something that was earlier only reserved for the flagship products from Skoda.

VERDICT- While the new emission norms had to be complied with, the additional increase in mileage is a cherry on top. The same is not the case with every update, as some of the products have registered a slight drop in these figures as well. But as far as the Slavia is concerned, it is enjoying some really positive publicity for its robust performance in the crash test ratings.
