Skoda Slavia Launch Timelines Revealed - 1.0 TSI Launch On February 28 | V3Cars
Skoda India have revealed the launch timelines of the Slavia. Skoda will announce the price of the Slavia 1.0L TSI on February 28th. The launch of the 1.5L TSI will take place on March 3rd. Customer test drives and deliveries will begin soon after the launch of the respective engine options.
Skoda India head, Zac Hollis, shared on Twitter, “Despite the industry challenges, I am happy to share that we are delivering on our committed timelines for the launch of both the 1.0 L and 1.5 Slavia”. Skoda India announced the pre-bookings for the Slavia back in November 2021. This long timeframe would have given Skoda enough time to mass-manufacture the Slavia.
Take a look at the dimensions of the Skoda Slavia alongside its rivals:
