Skoda to Launch Facelifted Slavia Sedan in India on August 18, 2026
Skoda is set to launch the facelifted Slavia midsize sedan in India on August 18, 2026. The update includes subtle exterior changes such as redesigned LED headlamps, tail-lamps, grille with integrated lighting, and new alloy wheels. Interior updates may feature a larger digital driver display, revised seat upholstery, and possibly rear-seat massage. The facelift retains the 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines, with the 1.0-litre likely gaining an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Prices are expected to rise slightly from the current range of Rs 10 lakh to Rs 18.19 lakh.
