Skoda Auto India has implemented a price revision for the Slavia sedan, with select variants now costlier by up to Rs. 33,690. The adjustment is part of a broader price update across Skoda’s lineup, including models like the Kushaq and Kodiaq. While the hike does not impact all variants of the Slavia, buyers of specific trims will now need to stretch their budget slightly more.
The Slavia remains a key model in Skoda’s portfolio, positioned in the mid-size sedan segment. It continues to be available in both 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine options. A mid-cycle facelift is also expected later this year, which could bring visual and feature enhancements.
Revisions
The highest price increase applies to the top-end Monte Carlo trims. Below is a detailed look at the variant-wise hike:
| Variant | Hike Amount (Rs.) |
|---|---|
| Monte Carlo 1.0 AT | 33,690 |
| Monte Carlo 1.5 DSG | 29,207 |
| Prestige 1.0 AT | 27,690 |
| Sportline 1.5 DSG | 25,897 |
| Prestige 1.5 DSG | 23,207 |
| Signature 1.0 (MT/AT) | 16,586 (up to) |
| Sportline 1.0 (MT/AT) | 16,586 (up to) |
| Classiv 1.0 MT | No change |
Entry-level variants such as the Classiv 1.0 MT have not seen any price increase, maintaining their appeal for budget-conscious buyers.
Pricing
Following the latest price revision, the Skoda Slavia is now priced between Rs. 10 lakh and Rs. 17.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The model range remains unchanged in terms of mechanicals or features.
Buyers can still choose between the following powertrains:
- 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine
- 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine
Transmission options include:
- 6-speed manual
- 6-speed torque converter automatic
- 7-speed DSG automatic
These combinations cater to a wide range of users, from daily commuters to performance-focused drivers.
Facelift
Skoda is currently working on a facelift of the Slavia, which is expected to debut later in 2024. While details remain limited, it is likely to include cosmetic upgrades, new features, and possibly mild mechanical tweaks.
The facelift will help the sedan stay competitive in the mid-size segment against rivals like the Honda City, Hyundai Verna, and Volkswagen Virtus.
The current Slavia already boasts features such as a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, ventilated front seats, wireless smartphone connectivity, and a sunroof. The upcoming facelift could bring additional enhancements to maintain buyer interest.
Impact
This price hike may affect buyers considering mid or top-spec variants. However, the unchanged prices of base variants ensure that the Slavia continues to offer strong value in its entry-level trims. As input and production costs rise, such price adjustments are common across the industry.
Prospective buyers should factor in the revised pricing when planning their purchase, especially with a facelift model on the horizon.
