The wait for the Slavia's price is over. Skoda has put numbers on the facelifted sedan, and the entry point holds at Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom) while the range now climbs to Rs 18.84 lakh. Deliveries are due to start this week.
Skoda showed the updated car on August 18, but held back the prices until October 6. That gap matters because the old Slavia topped out at about Rs 18.19 lakh, so the most expensive trim now costs roughly Rs 65,000 more.
The Prices We Could Confirm
- Classic (1.0 TSI manual): Rs 9.99 lakh
- Classic+ (1.0 TSI automatic): Rs 12.49 lakh
- Monte Carlo (automatic): from Rs 17.29 lakh
- Prestige (1.5 TSI DSG): Rs 18.59 lakh
- Top of the range: Rs 18.84 lakh
The sources we checked did not break out individual prices for the Signature and Sportline trims, or say which variant carries the Rs 18.84 lakh tag, so we are not guessing.
A New Gearbox Is the Real Story
The 1.0-litre TSI turbo-petrol (about 115hp and 178Nm) now gets an eight-speed torque-converter automatic in place of the earlier six-speed unit. It is offered from the Classic+ upward. The 1.5-litre TSI (150hp, 250Nm) keeps its seven-speed DSG and is limited to Prestige and Monte Carlo. The six-speed manual stays on the base car.
What Else Is New
Styling changes are modest: revised LED headlamps and tail-lamps with sequential indicators at the rear, restyled bumpers, new alloy wheels and a fresh Arctic Silver colour. The cabin gets a larger infotainment screen with a voice assistant that Skoda says runs on Google Cloud and Gemini, plus wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The equipment list is where the Slavia now pushes its rivals:
- A rear-seat massager on Prestige and Monte Carlo, which Skoda calls a first in the segment
- Powered, ventilated front seats on higher trims
- A 360-degree camera from the Sportline trim onward
- A sunroof on all variants except the base Classic
Six airbags remain standard on every variant, and the car keeps its five-star Global NCAP rating. A four-year, 1,00,000km warranty is included.
Who It Is For
If you want a well-built sedan with a turbo engine and no hybrid complexity, the Slavia remains one of the few choices in this price band. The new eight-speed automatic makes the sub-Rs 13 lakh automatic far more tempting than before. Rivals such as the Honda City and Hyundai Verna cover similar ground, so test drive at least two before deciding. For more on the brand, see Skoda Auto India.
