Skoda will officially launch its new Slavia on August 18, featuring several significant updates.

The major change in the upcoming model will be the new 8-speed automatic gearbox paired with the 1.0-liter turbo petrol engine.

Skoda may introduce a rear seat massage function, previously featured in the January 2026 facelift of the Kushaq model.

The new Slavia retains several features from the existing model, including a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a single-pane sunroof.

The upcoming model will feature a wireless phone charger, 8-speaker sound system, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, 6 airbags, and a tire pressure monitoring system.

The new Skoda Slavia facelift is expected to be priced slightly higher than the current model, which starts at ₹10 lakh (ex-showroom).
