Earlier this month, Skoda announced the launch dates for the Slavia sedan. While the 1.0L turbo petrol powered Skoda Slavia will go on sale on February 28, the 1.5 turbo petrol variants will be launched on March 3. We expect the Skoda Slavia range to be priced from Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards.

When launched, the Skoda Slavia will become one of the largest sedans in its segment. It will also offer a long list of features to compete against its rivals.

Speaking of features, the Slavia will offer the following:

8-inch full-colour instrument cluster
Electric sunroof

6 airbags

Auto headlamps

Auto-dimming inside mirror
Auto AC
16-inch alloy wheels

In terms of design, the Slavia looks similar to its bigger sibling, the Octavia. However, unlike the Octavia, which is a notchback, the Slavia is a more conventional three-box sedan.

As far as powertrains are concerned, the Slavia will share its engine and gearbox options with the Kushaq SUV. The 1.0L turbo petrol engine will produce 115PS of power and 175Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. The 1.5L turbo petrol engine will produce 150PS of power and 250Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
