Skoda has launched the updated 2026 Slavia facelift in India with a starting ex-showroom price of ₹9.99 lakh. The refreshed sedan brings more than cosmetic changes, with Skoda introducing a new automatic transmission and several additional cabin and comfort features.
One of the biggest updates is the new 8-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox for the 1.0-litre TSI engine. The top-end Prestige and Monte Carlo variants also receive features such as rear-seat massage, ventilated front seats and a 360-degree camera.
2026 Skoda Slavia Price and Variants
The facelifted Slavia is available in six variants: Classic, Classic+, Signature, Sportline, Prestige and Monte Carlo.
The entry-level Classic variant uses the 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine with a 6-speed manual transmission and starts at ₹9.99 lakh. The new 8-speed automatic is introduced with the Classic+, which is priced at ₹12.49 lakh.
The more powerful 1.5-litre TSI engine is reserved for the Prestige and Monte Carlo variants and is paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox.
Skoda has stated that deliveries of the updated Slavia will begin across India next week.
Updated Design and New Colour Options
The overall shape and proportions of the Slavia remain familiar, but Skoda has made several changes to its exterior styling.
The facelift gets new LED headlamps and revised taillights, along with sequential indicators at the rear. A horizontal chrome element has also been added to the grille, while the alloy wheel designs have been updated.
Two new exterior colours, Arctic Silver and Cappuccino Beige, have been introduced. Deliveries of the Cappuccino Beige version will begin in December 2026.
The existing colour options continue to include Candy White, Carbon Steel, Brilliant Silver, Lava Blue, Deep Black, Cherry Red, Shimla Green and Steel Grey.
New 8-Speed Automatic and Updated Cabin
The new 8-speed torque-converter automatic is one of the most important mechanical changes to the facelifted Slavia. It is available with the 1.0-litre TSI turbo-petrol engine, alongside the existing 6-speed manual option.
The 1.0-litre TSI produces 115 PS and 178 Nm of torque.
The 1.5-litre TSI remains the more powerful engine option, delivering 150 PS and 250 Nm. It comes exclusively with a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission in the Prestige and Monte Carlo trims.
Skoda has also upgraded the cabin with several new features. The Prestige variant gets electrically adjustable and ventilated front seats, along with a massage function for the rear seats.
The same variant also features a revised 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch virtual cockpit, a 360-degree camera and 16-inch Savio dual-tone alloy wheels.
The Signature trim gets a 25.6cm touchscreen, an AI assistant powered by Google Cloud, built-in connectivity and a rear-view camera. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are also supported, while the voice assistant can be used for functions such as music, calls and climate control.
The Sportline variant adds a 360-degree camera and 16-inch Ving Black alloy wheels. The Monte Carlo version builds on this equipment with a sportier appearance featuring black exterior elements, red accents and dedicated badging.
Safety Features
Skoda has retained a strong safety package for the updated Slavia. Six airbags and more than 25 active and passive safety features are standard across the range.
Higher variants offer more than 40 safety features. The 1.5-litre versions also receive rear disc brakes, adding to the braking hardware of the more powerful variants.
With the new automatic transmission, upgraded interior equipment, additional comfort features and refreshed exterior styling, the 2026 Skoda Slavia facelift brings a broader set of changes while retaining the core engine options of the sedan.
