Škoda launches new Slavia

SGA Cars India at Coimbatore played host to the launch of all new Skoda Slavia,a premium midsize sedan that comes with plenty of features.

The brand-new sedan is the Czech carmaker’s second India-specific model. The Slavia’s manufacturing process has a localization level of up to 95%.

As the sedan is based on the MQB-A0-IN platform – it offers a comprehensive range of safety features and advanced infotainment systems.  The power output of the TSI engines available for the Slavia is 85 kW (115 PS)* and 110 kW (150 PS)* respectively, and just like other ŠKODAs, this model is characterized by an emotive design. Its name is both a tribute to the carmaker’s beginnings and a symbol of a new era in the Indian market.

Gurpratap Boparai, Managing Director of Škoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited, said, “The successful start of the India 2.0 project with the Kushaq truly highlights what can be achieved with global collaboration here in India. In addition to the increasingly sought-after SUVs, the premium sedan segment offers tremendous potential, and it’s a territory that we have made our own.”

“The sophisticated Slavia stands for prestige and style. It also represents a new growth area for Škoda Auto. With its sophistication, capable engines and numerous Simply Clever features, the Slavia will appeal to discerning customers in India, and it will also be appreciated in markets around the world. We are confident that the Škoda Slavia will continue the benchmarks set by the Octavia and Superb and will help us to further strengthen our dominance in the segment.”
