In today’s time when the demand for sedan cars is increasing again, Skoda Slavia is a name that is on the lips of every car enthusiast. This car is known not only for its stylish design but also for its great performance and features.
Design and build quality
The design of Skoda Slavia is really attractive. The chrome finished hexagonal grille and crystal LED headlights in the front of the car make it stand out on the road. Sharp creases in the side profile and 16-inch alloy wheels give the car a sporty look. The L-shaped LED taillights at the rear make the modern design of the car even better. Talking about the interior, the beige and black color combination, soft touch material and chrome finish give a premium feel to the cabin. However, the plastic quality is a bit disappointing in some lower areas.
Engine and Performance
Talking about the engine, Skoda Slavia comes with two engine options. The first is a 1.0 liter TSI turbo petrol engine which generates 114 bhp power and 178 Nm torque.
