The all-new Skoda compact sedan is available in three well-equipped variants

The Skoda Slavia has finally been launched, and the prices have been announced despite the sedan being revealed in late 2021. With the final piece of the puzzle, we can dive into the details to see what each variant of the Slavia packs and if it offers good value for the price. The premium between each trim is significant, which can make it even harder to narrow down on the right one. Before we dive into the details to help you choose your Skoda Slavia, let's start with the specifications:

Engine	1-litre turbo-petrol	1.5-litre turbo-petrol
Power	115PS	150PS
Torque	178Nm	250Nm
Transmission	6-speed MT/ 6-speed AT	6-speed MT/ 7-speed DSG
Claimed F.E.	19.47kmpl/ 18.07kmpl	18.72kmpl/ 18.41kmpl

The Slavia gets the same engine and transmission options as the Kushaq. Its 1-litre turbo-petrol engine is the competitive choice with similar performance as its rivals, while the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol unit with cylinder deactivation technology takes it ahead of them. The latter is also the one to get the carmaker's renowned DSG (dual-clutch automatic transmission).

Dimensions
LxWxH	4541mm x 1752mm x 1507mm
Wheelbase	2651mm
