Czech Republic’s leading automaker Skoda has today launched its new car Skoda Slavia in the mid-size sedan segment in the Indian market. Adorned with a very attractive look and strong engine power, this car has been launched in 3 trims with a total of 5 colors. Including Active, Style and Comfort. The company has also started its official booking from today itself.
Let us tell you that this was the global launch of Slavia. The premium midsize segment 5-door sedan comes with round air vents, horizontal trim strip and raised wordmark on the binnacle. The long wheel base, 16-inch alloy wheels, vertical chrome front grille, ‘L’ shaped headlights and bumpers with wide air inlets add to the beauty of the car.

Talking about the size, the length of this sedan car is 4,541mm, width is 1,752mm and height is 1,487mm. It has a wheelbase of 2,651mm. This car is 128mm longer, 53mm wider and 20mm higher than the company’s current sedan model Rapid. Its wheelbase is also 98mm more, which means you get better space inside this car.
Attractive car cabin:
The interior design of the Skoda Slavia largely matches that of the company’s larger Octavia sedan.

Like the Kushak, the climate control panel has been equipped with a touch-based system.
However, unlike the Kushaq, which gets hexagonal AC vents at both ends, the Slavia gets round air-con vents on the sides. The center console also includes a wireless charging pad, right next to the gear lever. A digital instrument cluster in Slavia and the letter ‘SKODA’ embossed on the instrument binnacle is seen.
