That’s right! The Skoda Slavia facelift is all set to arrive on August 18, possibly with design upgrades, new features and tech.

What To Expect?

The Slavia facelift has been spotted multiple times before, but with heavy camouflage, revealing little to no details. With the facelift, we expect Skoda to offer a new front-end design, similar to the one we saw on the Kushaq facelift. This includes an all-new grille, connected LED DRLs, “Skoda” lettering on the grille, a revised front bumper and much more. Down the side, we can expect to see new alloy wheels, while the rest of the side profile might be similar to what we have right now. At the rear, we could get to see a new taillight design, with lit “Skoda” lettering forming a connected LED taillamp and a revised rear bumper. That said, the Skoda Slavia is already a handsome-looking car, and with the facelift, we expect to see a more attractive design.

Skoda Slavia Facelift Launch: What Else?
Along with the facelift, we expect to see similar features to the Kushaq facelift. Expected features include revised upholstery, rear seat massage, front parking sensors, a 10.25-inch instrument cluster, and a few more. It will continue to get existing features like powered and ventilated front seats, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, automatic climate control, an electric sunroof and much more. On the powertrain front, Skoda will likely offer the same engine options: a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine (114bhp & 178Nm) and a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine (148bhp & 250Nm). However, much like the Kushaq facelift, the 1.0-litre will most likely get the 8-speed TC, which replaces the existing 6-speed TC. Skoda could price the Slavia facelift between Rs 12 lakh and Rs 22.50 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
