In terms of styling, the sedan will receive subtle changes to keep things fresh in the market. Its direct rivals, including the Hyundai Verna and Honda City will also receive mid-life update this year. The front fascia will have an updated LED headlights with integrated lighting elements, revised front grille, and a new lower bumper that houses a larger air dam.
The side profile will look largely identical to the existing model, except for the new set of alloy wheels. At the back, the Slavia sedan facelift will have revised lower bumper, and connected LED tail-lamp unit.
The Slavia sedan facelift will continue to be offered with a dual-tone, black and beige interior scheme. Its dashboard will feature a free-standing touchscreen infotainment unit and a large 10.25-inch digital instrument console.

Mechanical Changes
The 2026 Skoda Slavia facelift will continue to be offered with the same 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder turbo and 1.5-litre turbo petrol engines. While the former is good for 115hp and 178Nm, the 1.5 TSI produces 150 hp and 250 Nm.
The biggest change will come in the form of a new 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, which will replace the current 6-seed unit. While the 1.0 TSI will also get a 6-speed manual gearbox, the 1.5L turbo petrol will only be offered with a 7-speed DCT.
