Skoda Slavia Launch In March 2022
Skoda Auto India has begun serial manufacturing of the Skoda Slavia, the company’s forthcoming small car. The new Slavia is the company’s second vehicle to be built on the company’s localised MQB A0-IN platform, which also underlies the Skoda Kusahq small SUV. It is set to debut in March 2022. The Slavia will be built at Skoda Auto Volkswagen India’s facility in Chakan, Maharashtra, and will be 95 percent locally produced. According to Skoda, the Slavia was designed with the Indian market in mind.

Christian Cahn von Seelen, Chairman of Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited, commented on the news, saying, “Today, with the production rollout of the Skoda Slavia, we are igniting the next stage of our INDIA 2.0 product campaign. The Slavia is a strong testament of our intent and capability in the Indian market. The Slavia will not only provide a boost to the premium sedan segment but will also showcase Skoda Auto’s expertise, pedigree and legacy with sedans in terms of design, packaging, dynamics, technology and value.”

The Slavia will be available in three trim levels: Active, Ambition, and Style, with two engine choices: a 1.0-litre three-cylinder TSI and a 1.5-litre four-cylinder TSI. The former produces 113 horsepower and 175 Nm of peak torque, and it’s paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic torque converter as an option.
