Overview
- The latest test-mule photos published Monday show a clearer interior view with a freestanding infotainment screen and the familiar two-spoke steering wheel while heavy camouflage covers the front and rear.
- Reports that compared the images with the Kushaq facelift say Skoda is expected to revise the grille, headlamp and taillamp internals and add new LED lighting accents and refreshed bumpers.
- Inside, outlets expect a larger digital driver display, updated infotainment, new upholstery and comfort options such as a possible rear-seat massage based on features introduced on the Kushaq.
- Mechanically, the Slavia should keep its 1.0L and 1.5L TSI engines but the 1.0L is likely to gain the 8‑speed torque‑converter automatic seen on the Kushaq while the 1.5L keeps a 7‑speed DCT.
- Testing shows no visible windscreen camera on the mules so camera-based ADAS is unlikely, and publications say the facelift, still in test, is expected to reach India by late 2026 with a possible price rise.
