The Skoda Slavia facelift officially launched in India on August 18, 2026. This midsize sedan receives a refresh focusing on updated styling and enhanced features. Exterior changes include revised front-end styling, a grille with added chrome, and new alloy wheels, complemented by connected LED taillamps at the rear, mirroring the design seen on the updated Kushaq.
Internally, the Slavia facelift is set to impress with a larger infotainment system and the integration of a built-in AI assistant. Further cabin enhancements and potential additions like rear massage functionality are anticipated. Safety and convenience upgrades, such as a 360-degree camera and ADAS, are also rumored, though their availability will be confirmed with the official specifications.
Under the hood, the familiar 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines are expected to continue. The most notable mechanical revision is the anticipated integration of an 8-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox with the 1.0-litre TSI engine, replacing the existing automatic transmission. Pricing for the updated model is expected to see an increase compared to the outgoing version.
