Skoda Slavia facelift launched from ₹9.99 lakh; automatic starts at ₹12.49 lakh

The Skoda Slavia facelift has reportedly launched in India at ₹9.99 lakh to ₹18.84 lakh ex-showroom. The most useful change for automatic buyers is the new Classic+ 1.0 TSI automatic at ₹12.49 lakh, paired with an eight-speed torque-converter gearbox. The update also brings revised styling and additional cabin equipment. The choice now comes down to the gearbox, the equipment fitted to your shortlisted trim and the final on-road quote, rather than the headline starting price alone.

What buyers need to know

• Entry price: ₹9,99,900 ex-showroom for the Classic manual.

• Cheapest automatic: Classic+ 1.0 TSI at ₹12.49 lakh.

• Gearbox change: the 1.0 TSI automatic replaces its six-speed unit with an eight-speed torque converter.

• Higher-output option: the 1.5 TSI continues with a seven-speed DSG, offered in Prestige and Monte Carlo.

• Equipment caution: headline additions do not establish what every trim includes.

Slavia facelift price list

The reported prices below are ex-showroom. Registration, insurance and optional items change the amount payable. A dash means that powertrain combination is not listed, rather than that its price is yet to be announced.

What changes with the eight-speed automatic?

The engine choices remain familiar: the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol produces 115 hp and 178 Nm, while the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol produces 150 hp and 250 Nm. The smaller engine retains a six-speed manual option. Its automatic changes to an eight-speed torque converter; the larger engine retains the seven-speed DSG.

More ratios do not, by themselves, prove smoother traffic manners or lower real-world fuel consumption. Buyers should test the automatic in crawling traffic, on an incline and during overtaking. The reported claimed economy is 19.76 kmpl for the 1.0 manual, 19.50 kmpl for the 1.0 automatic and 18.79 kmpl for the 1.5 DSG. Treat these as claimed figures rather than a promise for your commute.

The launch follows the earlier Slavia facelift production milestone. Pricing now gives shoppers a clearer basis for comparing the refreshed range.

New features deserve a variant-wise check

Reported additions include a 10.1-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch digital instrument display, 360-degree camera and rear-seat massage function. A variable-geometry air-conditioning compressor is also listed. These are equipment changes, not independently tested conclusions about cooling performance or comfort.

The reported feature list retains powered and ventilated front seats, a sunroof, wireless phone connectivity and charging. Confirm their availability on the exact variant being quoted. The facelift is reported to continue without ADAS, which may matter if driver-assistance features are a priority in your shortlist.

Which version should you shortlist?

Start with the Classic manual if the purchase budget is the main constraint, then check whether its equipment meets your needs. For an automatic, the Classic+ provides the lowest listed entry price. Moving from its manual to automatic adds ₹1.50 lakh ex-showroom; that is a price comparison, not a judgement that one is better value for every buyer.

If stronger performance matters, the 1.5 DSG warrants a test drive. Prestige lists the 1.5 DSG at ₹1.70 lakh above its 1.0 automatic. Compare the equipment and driving experience before treating that difference as a gearbox-only premium.

• Ask for a written equipment list for the exact trim and transmission.

• Compare itemised on-road quotations, including insurance and optional accessories.

• Confirm colour, stock and delivery timing directly; no exact delivery date is established here.

• Test the cabin cooling, rear-seat comfort and automatic response in conditions resembling your use.
