Skoda Slavia Launch Confirmed: Gets a Two-Part Launch

 The launch of Skoda's mid-sized sedan, the Slavia, is around the corner. The Czech manufacturer has revealed the launch dates of the upcoming mid-sized sedan. The Slavia gets two engine configurations, slated for launch on separate dates. The Slavia is meant to replace the ageing Skoda Rapid in the market. While the 1.0-litre TSI engine configuration of the Slavia is set to be launched on 28th February 2022, the sedan's 1.5-litre TSI variant will be launched on 3rd March 2022. Read on for more information on the engine configurations of the upcoming Skoda Cars.

 

Enter The Skoda Slavia

The Skoda Slavia is a mid-sized sedan that will be based on Skoda's MQB A0 IN platform underpinning Skoda's Kushaq mid-sized SUV and Volkswagen Taigun. Like those cousin mid-sized SUVs, the Slavia will also share underpinnings and other bits with Volkswagen's upcoming mid-size sedan, the Volkswagen Virtus.

 

Talking about the Slavia's 1.0-litre TSI variant, the car is powered by a three-cylinder engine. This unit will be capable of putting down 114PS of power and 175Nm of torque. It will be mated to a six-speed manual transmission with six-speed automatic transmission options on offer as well. This variant will be launched on the 28th of February and will be priced starting at the ₹10.8 lakhs (Ex-Showroom) mark. 

 

On the other hand, the Skoda Slavia will also receive a higher-performing 1.5-litre TSI engine. This engine is a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged TSI unit. This unit is capable of putting down 148PS of power and 250Nm of torque. Transmission options in the Skoda Slavia 1.5 TSI will include a six-speed manual transmission, as well as a seven-speed automatic DSG gearbox. The Skoda Slavia 1.5 will be priced starting around the ₹16 lakhs (Ex-Showroom) mark for the base MT variant. 

 

Verdict: Comfortable Sedan vs Compelling Powerhouse

The Skoda Slavia is all set to be Skoda's most affordable mid-sized sedan offering, complete with the latest bells and whistles. At the same time, the Skoda Slavia is ready to disrupt the market as a compelling offering for petrol heads oriented with performance as well. Skoda has placed the well-priced offering as something for everyone, and has possibly, successfully revived the ageing mid-sized sedan class, that found its popularity falling ever since the competition and popularity in the mid-sized SUV market. With the launch of the Slavia, and its upcoming cousin the Virtus, that is all set to change.
