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. For more information on the upcoming Skoda Slavia, its on-road
