Skoda Slavia test drives for customers will begin by late February. Here are the details we know so far.
Skoda Slavia test drives will commence by the end of February. Skoda has already opened the bookings for their upcoming mid-size sedan. Test drives will help the potential buyers to experience the new product in-depth.
Skoda has already unveiled Slavia and since the unveiling, it has been a hoot among the prospective buyers. Skoda has already cleared their intentions of selling more than 70,000 cars by the end of 2022. With the launch of Slavia, the carmaker expects to reach its sales target successfully.
Slavia Design
Skoda's upcoming sedan features the identical sharp and clean design language as seen on the new Kushaq and Kodiaq, Sharp LED headlamps, Skoda's identical front grille, and use of C-shaped LED taillamps meshed with Skoda littering at rear accumulates the very subtle design of the new Slavia.
The Slavia is based on the localized MQB-A0-IN platform, which is also shared by the newly launched Kushaq. Skoda has equipped Slavia with 16-inch alloys to provide a promising cushion ride quality.
When launched it'll be the widest car in the mid-size sedan segment. Not just that but it'll also have the longest wheelbase in the segment.
Slavia Variants & Features
Skoda has already commenced the bookings for Slavia and it is available in three variants - Active, Ambition, and Style. Although, the base trims will be decently equipped the top variants will feature creature comforts such as a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, ventilated seats, and even an electric sunroof.
On the safety front, Skoda has equipped Slavia with six airbags, ESC, an electronic differential system (EDS), hill-hold control (optional), and a rear parking camera as well.
Being with the longest wheelbase in the segment, Slavia is seeking to provide more interior space coupled with European luxury.
