After setting safety benchmarks with the Kushaq SUV in October 2022 and the Slavia sedan in April 2023, Skoda Auto India continues blazing the safety trail by introducing six airbags as standard across all variants of the Kushaq and Slavia. The introduction is part of the company’s MY24 updates for its landmark made-for-India, ready-for-the-world India 2.0 product portfolio.
Regarding the upgrades, Petr Janeba, Brand Director, Skoda Auto India, said “Safety has always been intrinsic to the Skoda DNA. We were the first brand to score 5 stars for adults and children under the Global NCAP tests. As part of our MY24 updates, we now offer six airbags across all variants of the Kushaq and Slavia.
Skoda Auto India, in a significant move, has now introduced six airbags as standard across the line-up of both the Kushaq and Slavia. The Kushaq starts with the Active variant, going up to the Ambition, topping the Style with variants like the Monte Carlo and the Elegance Edition forming the upper rung of the variant mix of the SUV.
The Slavia also begins with the Active, progressing to the Ambition and the Style with the Style Edition and Elegance Edition at the top ensuring immense value for customers across the spectrum.
Both cars continue with the proven, powerful and efficient 1.0 TSI and 1.5 TSI engine options with a choice of a six-speed manual, six-speed automatic and seven-speed DSG for transmission duties.
The enhancements to the Kushaq’s and Slavia’s MY24 range are a further addition to updates already introduced by the company in Q4 2023. It is when the top-of-the-line variants in both cars saw the introduction of all-new features like electric seats for the driver and co-driver, which is a segment-first, and an illuminated footwell area. The centre of the dash saw the familiar 25.4 cm infotainment screen with Skoda Play Apps. The system links wirelessly with Apple Carplay and Android Auto.
These upgrades further Skoda Auto India’s 2024 product actions with the announcement of the all-new compact SUV to make its world debut in India in 2025 and the re-introduction of the Superb in limited numbers to meet continued demand for the luxury sedan among fans and customers.
