Skoda Slavia variants comparison
Skoda Slavia Specifications - User Reviews
After driving the Slavia, I felt satisfied. The stability on highways is good and the ground clearance is suitable for our road conditions. Overall, I'm happy with it.
I would recommend the Skoda Slavia Prestige 1.0 TSI Automatic. The current Slavia remains an excellent sedan, and attractive discounts on the outgoing model make it better value for money.
I have owned a 2022 Škoda Slavia 1.5 DSG Style and driven it for over 1 lakh kilometers. The car offers excellent driving dynamics with precise steering feedback and impressive fuel efficiency, achieving around 20 km/l on highways. The infotainment system is high-quality, and the front seats are very comfortable for long drives. However, the air conditioning performance is weak, and the suspension setup causes a noticeable 'thud' sound. Interior upholstery quality is disappointing, and there are persistent issues with power windows and DSG jittering. After E20 fuel introduction, I faced fuel pressure pump failure and EPC errors. Spare parts availability is a concern.
Read moreThe Slavia 1.5 DSG is the best in class. Clutch pad issues aren't severe and depend on driving style. The upcoming facelift might be worth the wait.
I find the suspension of Slavia more balanced than the Virtus. Is there body roll in Slavia due to softer suspension?

I drive 1,500 to 2,000 km per month, mostly on highways and rural interior roads. I currently own a petrol manual Ford Figo Aspire. I am looking for a sedan or SUV with good stability, long-distance comfort, a peppy engine, and strong build quality for a family of four. My budget is ₹17 lakh. I am a Skoda fan and have the Kylaq or Slavia in mind, but I am also considering the Honda Elevate and Tata Sierra. Kindly suggest which car will be more suitable.

autocar.india
The Skoda Slavia is a good idea, given your requirements and the fact that you're a fan of Skoda cars. However, since you will be driving in rural interiors, a bit of extra ground clearance that an SUV offers will provide an additional safety net for you.Definitely consider the new Tata Sierra, and while the full price list is not yet available, signs indicate that you should get a mid-range model within your budget of Rs 17 lakh. It promises to be comfortable and tough, as has been the case with existing Tata SUVs, and it comes with a wide range of engines and gearboxes, including two petrols and a diesel, so you can take your pick.

I have been using an employer-provided Honda City automatic for the last 10 years and am satisfied with it. My driving is entirely within Mumbai and averages about 1,000 km per month. I want a petrol automatic with good rear-seat legroom and decent boot space like my Honda City. Good fuel economy and robust build with good ground clearance are also important to me. Would you recommend the new Honda City Hybrid or the Skoda Slavia?

autocar.india
The Honda City Hybrid better meets your needs. It's got a comfier back seat than the Skoda Slavia, is much more fuel-efficient, and you'll also appreciate the familiarity with your current Honda City.Dealers have also been offering sizeable discounts on the City Hybrid, which will sweeten the deal further.
Manik Walia
I want to buy a sedan. My usage will be approximately 25% city driving and 75% highway driving. My priorities are a fun-to-drive experience, good handling, strong highway stability, rear-seat comfort, and solid build quality. My budget is around ₹18-20 lakh.

autocar.india
With 75% highway use and a Rs. 18-20 lakh cap, the Volkswagen Virtus with the 1.0 turbo petrol with the manual is the best fit. It feels quick when you press the throttle, so quick passes on the highway are easy, and it stays very steady at speed with a nice, weighty steering, which makes long drives calmer. The rear seat is wide with good legroom and a well-angled backrest, so two adults will be comfortable for hours. It also feels solid inside and out, and its crash test score is strong, which matches your build quality ask.A couple of things to note: at low speeds, the ride can feel a bit firm over sharp bumps, and Volkswagen’s service reach is smaller than Maruti or Hyundai in smaller towns, so check your nearest workshop.If you want the same driving feel but a slightly richer cabin vibe, look at the Skoda Slavia with the same 1.0 turbo. It shares the core strengths of highway stability and safety, and some find its seats a touch softer.For your brief, the Virtus 1.0 manual lines up best. However, do note that a facelift is expected later this year.
Siddhant Lokhande
I am planning to buy an automatic car with an on-road budget of around ₹15 lakh. I currently drive a Honda Civic (manual), and my monthly usage is relatively low at under 400 km. The car will primarily be used for daily city commutes (office) and occasional highway trips—around 2–3 times a year, typically within 500 km. I am looking for a well-balanced option that offers comfort, reliability, and good fuel efficiency for both city use and occasional highway driving. I am not in a hurry and can wait until the end of the year if better options or updates are expected. Could you please suggest the best choices in this budget, keeping long-term ownership and ease of driving in mind?

autocar.india
You haven't mentioned the body style or whether you have any transmission preference (MT or AT). But since you're used to the low-slung Honda Civic manual, chances are the new crop of compact SUVs might not give you the same satisfying 'sporty' drive experience. You could consider the Hyundai i20 N Line, which is a 'fun-to-drive' hatchback. You could get either the manual or dual-clutch automatic version well within your budget. If it is a fun-to-drive sedan you're after, the entry-level 1.0 TSI manual versions of the Volkswagen Virtus and Skoda Slavia will fall within Rs 15 lakhs (on-road) too. Both these cars are likely to get an update this year, with similar changes as their mid-size SUV counterparts, Taigun and Kushaq; expect minor cosmetic updates and an upgraded air-con system with its manual version.
Sachin Bhosle
Hi Autocar Team, I am looking for a powerful sedan for a daily commute of around 80 km, with most of the driving on highways, along with a 600 km long drive on most weekends. I am looking for a car with solid build quality, no sunroof, and one that feels planted at high speeds. It should also offer strong safety, including ADAS features. Additionally, I would prefer a sedan with good steering feel and engaging driving dynamics.

autocar.india
With 80 km a day, mostly on highways and a 600 km run most months, you need a safe, steady sedan that feels good at speed and does not force a sunroof. In that brief, the Honda City V CVT with Honda Sensing fits best because it gives you ADAS without a sunroof and stays calm and secure on fast roads.The City’s steering is light in town but feels natural and sure as speed builds, and the car remains composed over rough patches. The cabin is well-made, and you get core safety features like six airbags and stability control.Do note: the City is not the most powerful in this price band, so if you want very quick bursts for overtakes, you will need to press the engine harder, and the CVT can sound loud when you do.If you want stronger power and a more connected feel and can give up ADAS or the no-sunroof requirement, look at the Volkswagen Virtus 1.5 TSI DSG or Skoda Slavia 1.5 TSI DSG. They feel very strong on the highway, and their steering has more weight, but they miss ADAS, and top versions will add a sunroof. Overall, for your highway-heavy use, ADAS and no-sunroof requirement, the City V CVT lines up best.
Deen
Hi Autocar, I own a 2021 Nexon XZA+S Petrol and am now looking for a replacement. My annual running is around 15,000 km, mostly in the city, with decent highway runs every alternate month. We’re a couple with two children under 10. My requirements are an automatic gearbox, family comfort, great driving dynamics, good boot space, and a good music system for long drives. My budget is a maximum of ₹30 lakh OTR in Gurgaon.

autocar.india
Given your requirements, the Skoda Slavia would be a good option to consider. Within the Slavia range, we would recommend the 1.5-litre TSI engine with the DSG gearbox. This will give you the enthusiastic driving dynamics you want, which frankly, no mid-size SUV can offer. It also has fantastic handling manners and is extremely stable on the highways. The bootspace at 521 litres is massive, and it has a good ground clearance to clear most of our badly built roads.In the city, the Slavia also gets cylinder deactivation that helps save fuel, and it is light and breezy to manoeuvre. Also, the music system in the Slavia is one of the best stock systems out there. It is punchy, clear and feels properly high-end. If you're an audiophile, you will enjoy it compared to any other car or SUV south of Rs 30 lakh.

Hi, we are a family of three adults and one teenager. Over the past 10 years, we have owned a Honda Brio S MT, a Honda City V MT, and a Maruti Celerio AMT. The biggest advantage has been very low maintenance and minimal to no electrical or mechanical issues. We are now planning to buy a new automatic transmission car (non-AMT, as we want to avoid shift jerks). Any body type is acceptable. We plan to make the purchase in the next 6 to 12 months, with a budget of up to ₹17 lakh. Our main requirements are good city mileage, good safety, and decent performance.

autocar.india
Since you have been happy with the Hondas in your family, why not consider the 5th-generation Honda City, currently on sale? It features a very flexible and strong 1.5-litre engine mated to a CVT automatic transmission, which is both jerk-free and smooth. Also, it will give you the same trouble-free experience you have enjoyed with your current Hondas.If you are looking for a change, you could consider the 1.0 AT variants of the Skoda Slavia or Volkswagen Virtus, both of which have a smooth torque converter auto transmission, which is much smoother than the AMTs you want to avoid.
Harshil
I drive 12–15 km Monday to Friday, and a 140 km one-way trip on Saturdays, mostly on the expressway. My budget is up to ₹20 lakh, and I want a car with good mileage but also fun to drive. Which car should I buy?

autocar.india
Stick to a sedan since you are used to one, and also, sedans are more fun to drive than SUVs. You could go for the Skoda Slavia 1.5 or Volkswagen Virtus GT, which comes with a strong 1.5 turbo-petrol mated to a quick-shifting 7-speed twin-clutch. Both these sedans have superb ride and handling, which makes them fun to drive. At the same time, these sedans are easy to drive too.

I’m planning to upgrade to a sedan with a good seating height and without a clutch. My monthly usage is about 500 km in the city, which has heavy traffic and many potholes. My priorities are mileage and driving comfort. I’m not sure if an EV would be a good choice. I considered the Tata Harrier EV, but dropped the idea after learning about multiple issues. My budget is around ₹25 lakh.

autocar.india
The top-spec Honda City petrol-automatic is the only sedan that's comfortable and will also return decent fuel efficiency for city use. With a monthly usage of just 500 km, opting for the Honda City hybrid doesn't make much sense, and there are currently no EV sedans available for ₹25 lakh.The turbo sedans like the Hyundai Verna, Skoda Slavia, and Volkswagen Virtus, will be more engaging to drive, but expect single digit fuel efficiency in heavy traffic.
