Skoda's C-segment sedan for India, launched in 2022 as part of the brand's "India 2.0" strategy alongside the Kushaq. Built on the India-specific MQB-A0-IN platform it shares with the Volkswagen Virtus, the Slavia leans on segment-leading boot space and Skoda's usual driver-first dynamics rather than outright feature count. Sold with a 6-speed torque-converter automatic on the 1.0 TSI until the 2026 facelift replaced it with an 8-speed unit.
