    2022 Skoda Slavia front

    Nestled in a tablet-like housing slapped onto the dashboard, Skoda’s 10-inch touchscreen’s user interface is quite straightforward and responsive. A dedicated shortcut bar to the left of the screen makes it easy to access certain functions, although some items like the two-step procedure to adjust the volume (from the screen) could have been better executed.

    Paddle shifters with both autoboxes make the drive more engaging by offering manual control.

    Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is a welcome feature, and it works seamlessly. In-built applications like Gaana, Audiobooks, etc., are great to have, however, their individual menus are fiddly, especially while on the move. Those who enjoy their music will appreciate the 380W 8-speaker sound system that also packs in a subwoofer with tight and crisp bass. It also gets some connected car features via a mobile application. Remains composed at all speeds, and infuses confidence in the driver. The lighter 1.0 feels a tad nicer to drive than the slightly nose heavy 1.5.

    Camera display screen is small and the resolution could have been better.

    It's better to be sceptical about the Skoda cars in India. The history goes against the Skoda brand cars in India, superb, Octavia, Laura, Fabia, Yeti and now the Rapid. Skoda cars seen on the road for 3 to 4 since the launch date and then these vanish into the thin air and are not seen thereafter.
