Overview
- Skoda India has confirmed the Slavia facelift will be launched on 18 August 2026, ending weeks of spy‑mule sightings and press speculation.
- Industry reports and multiple test mules indicate the 1.0‑litre TSI will likely replace its current 6‑speed torque‑converter automatic with the 8‑speed automatic introduced on the Kushaq.
- Exterior changes seen under camouflage include a taller grille with integrated lighting, revised LED head‑ and tail‑lamp graphics, reshaped bumpers and new alloy designs.
- Interior updates are expected to focus on equipment gains such as a larger 10.25‑inch digital driver display, revised upholstery, front parking sensors and continued retention of the 10.25‑inch touchscreen and safety kit.
- Skoda is expected to keep the same 115 hp 1.0 TSI and 150 hp 1.5 TSI engines with the 1.5 retaining its 7‑speed DSG, carry a modest price increase, and confirm final specs and variant availability at the 18 August reveal.
