Skoda has commenced production of the Slavia and it is expected to launch in early March. Bookings are already underway for a token amount of Rs 11,000, and test drives will commence soon. The upcoming sedan, which replaces the Rapid, aims to spice things up in a diminishing segment that’s currently ruled by the Honda City.

The Slavia is the second Skoda to be based on the Volkswagen Group’s MQB-A0-IN platform, with up to 95 percent localisation. Like the Kushaq, the Slavia will get the VW Group’s ever-so-familiar 115PS 1-litre TSI and 150PS 1.5-litre TSI petrol (with cylinder deactivation tech) engines, paired with manual and automatic transmissions.

You’ll have the choice to choose from three trims: Active, Ambition, and Style. Then there’s the five colours: Candy White, Brilliant Silver, Carbon Steel, Tornado Red and Crystal Blue. This author’s favourite is the red, which lends the Slavia a sportier look.
