Skoda Auto India unveiled the 2026 Slavia facelift on August 18. However, the brand is yet to reveal the variant-wise prices of the updated sedan. Bookings for Skoda’s C-segment sedan are currently open and deliveiries will commence at the start of the 2026 festive season. The Slavia facelift is offered in 6 variants.

Apart from an updated exterior design, the 2026 Slavia gets a new 8-speed torque converter automatic along with a host of new features. In this articles, we take a look at the top 8 highlights of Slavia facelift.

Skoda are offering the 2026 Slavia with a new 8-speed torque converter (TC) automatic transmission. The new automatic transmission, which was first introduced in the Kushaq facelift in March 2026, is offered with the 1L turbo petrol engine. The larger 1.5L turbo petrol, on the other hand, continues to be offered exclusively with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT).
The 8-speed torque converter makes the Slavia facelift an effortless highway cruiser and also helps with efficiency. When compared to the previous model, the Slavia 1L turbo petrol-automatic now offers a claimed mileage of xxkmpl, making it zzkmpl more efficient than before.

While the exterior updates on the Slavia facelift may look minor at first glance, a closer look reveals updated LED headlamps and tail lamps with revised lighting signatures. The top variants now offer new LED DRLs that extend into the updated front grille. Further, the Slavia now gets new LED fog lamps that are smaller than before. Meanwhile, the LED tail lamps now offer sequential turn indicators.

The top Prestige and Monte Carlo variants now offer revised 16-inch alloy wheels. The Slavia Prestige gets a dual-tone finish while the Monte Carlo offers all-black alloy wheels with contrasting red calipers.
Additionally, all variants except the Classic base model now get 16-inch alloy wheels. The Sportline continues to offer the same black alloy wheel design as before while the lower Classic Plus and Signature variants offer silver alloy wheels. The base Classic variant continues with 15-inch steel wheels with wheel covers.

Previously, the Signature and Sportline variants of the Slavia offered an analogue instrument cluster with a 3.5-inch TFT multi-info display. This has been replaced with an 8-inch digital instrument cluster that were earlier exclusive to the Prestige and Monte Carlo variants of the outgoing model.
Meanwhile, the Prestige and Monte Carlo variants of the updated model now offer an updated 10-inch digital instrument cluster. This unit also offers turn-by-turn navigation, which is a useful addition.
The Classic and Classic Plus variants are offered with a smaller 7-inch digital instrument cluster. Earlier, the Classic variant was offered with a basic analogue instrument cluster with a monotone display. These are small but meaningful changes that add more value to the Slavia sedan.

The Skoda Slavia facelift now offers an updated 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The updated unit offers a revised user interface, inbuilt connectivity and an AI Assistant powered by Google Cloud.
