2024 Skoda Slavia Facelift: Design Details
In these captured photos, you can clearly see the sleek lines of the sedan's exterior. The focus is on the back, where the rear resembles the previous model, but we're expecting some changes, especially around the taillights. From what we can see, there's a small bar-shaped detail, but the full picture is still a mystery.
The side profile maintains that sleek appearance, likely with minimal alterations; you can spot the pull-out door handle and electrically adjustable side mirrors. While the front isn't shown, we're expecting updates there too, possibly with redesigned headlights, fog lights, and grille, maybe even some tweaks to the bonnet. And of course, there's talk of new alloy wheels in the mix.

The upcoming Slavia is anticipated to boast an array of refreshed interior features, including a redesigned dashboard and a new touchscreen infotainment system. It's set to retain its already impressive offerings like a digital cluster, automatic climate control, front ventilated seats, a wireless charger, and cruise control, among others.
There have been discussions about Skoda possibly adding Level 2 ADAS features to the upcoming Slavia facelift. This would be a significant safety enhancement that many are eager to see. If implemented, these updates could potentially extend to other forthcoming facelift models, including the anticipated Kushaq facelift. Additionally, the inclusion of a 360-degree camera is expected, further enhancing safety and convenience.
2024 Skoda Slavia Facelift: Under The Hood
Beneath the surface, no significant changes are anticipated. Presently, The Skoda Slavia offers two engine options: a 1.0-litre petrol and a 1.5-litre petrol. The 1.0-litre engine delivers 114bhp and 178Nm of torque, paired with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.
Meanwhile, the 1.5-litre engine packs more power, with 148bhp and 250Nm of torque. It's available with a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It competes with popular models like the Maruti Ciaz, Hyundai Verna, Volkswagen Virtus, and Honda City.
Verdict
There's an expectation that the facelift version of the Slavia will come with significant feature upgrades, including the addition of ADAS. If the company focuses on enhancing these features, it will be a positive development.
