What could have been better?
Engine & Performance
Exterior Design
Let's talk about the riding quality immediately. The ride quality is stiff, as with all Skodas, and you can feel the bumps at low speeds. However, as the pace increases, the Slavia rides flat on undulations and the ride quality improves noticeably.
Will the Slavia roll in the bends with 179mm of ground clearance, or has Skoda gotten it right? They have, indeed, gotten it right. The suspension balance is perfect, and the Slavia corners are perfectly flat. The steering, which feels straight and has enough weight to encourage confidence, also helps. When you push it hard through bends, there is some understeer, but the ESP isn't too intrusive and allows you to straighten your path. Well, Skoda Slavia is definitely a good ride.
The Slavia comes standard with six air bags, ABS, EBD, a multi-collision brake, hill hold, traction control, tyre pressure monitoring, rain sensors, and disc brake cleaning.
Conclusion
So, now that we've seen the Slavia inside out, what do we think?
The Slavia is a fantastic product. It has the aesthetics, it has the features, the 1.0-litre engine delivers decent performance, and there is also the option of the stonking 1.5-litre engine. It also has SUV-rivaling trunk capacity and ground clearance.
But will that be enough to pull SUV buyers or make it the king of the sedan segment. Skoda, to some extent has tried to shake up the segment with Slavia being priced between 11- 18 Lakh. The product is already promising and ticks every boxes (almost). The 1.0-litre version will be available in three variants and we expect the Slavia prices to start at around Rs. 11.5 lakh which will undercut the Honda City.
Can Skoda outdo itself and pluck a rabbit out of the hat? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
