Škoda Slavia Anniversary Edition: What’s Different?
The special edition Slavia features exterior changes over the regular model like the Anniversary Edition badge found on the C-Pillar, front and rear mudflaps. Chrome finish has been given to the grille while chrome garnish is available for the doors and the bootlid. The sedan also offers a new Lava Blue colour that was previously available only on Skoda Octavia, Superb, and Kodiaq.
On the inside, it gets Anniversary Edition inscriptions on the scuff plate, pillows, and the steering wheel. The biggest change in the limited edition model is the return of the 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system alongside 380W audio setup. The former was discontinued last year in the Slavia due to the global semiconductor shortage.
