Slavia facelift to get a new 8-speed automatic gearbox It will get a new 10.25-inch digital instrument console and rear-massaging seat
The much-anticipated Skoda Slavia facelift will finally go on sale in the Indian market tomorrow, that’s August 18, 2026. Ahead of the official launch, Skoda India has shared a new teaser revealing few design elements of the updated Slavia sedan. It is expected that the new model will receive subtle design and interior changes along with new features and a new 8-speed torque converter automatic unit.
The existing Slavia is available in the price bracket of Rs 9.99 lakh to Rs 18.19 lakh. We expect the Salvia facelift to cost slightly higher than the current version. It could be priced somewhere around Rs 10.49 lakh to Rs 18.50 lakh.

The 2026 Skoda Slavia facelift will receive revised front fascia, which will have chrome studded front grille, revised headlamps and restyled bumper with new housings for fog lamps. The taillights shape remains the same, but it gets connected treatment like the Skoda Kushaq facelift. It will ride on a new sporty five-spoke alloy wheels, which is likely to be 16-inches in size.
The Slavia facelift could retain the existing cabin layout, but with new colour scheme and trim materials. It is expected to get a larger 10.25-inch digital instrument console, which is also offered with the Kushaq. Adding to it, the sedan is also expected to get rear massaging seats. It is also expected to receive front parking sensors. The sedan will continue to offer a single-pane sunroof, electrically adjustable and ventilated front seats, wireless phone charging pad, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The 2026 Skoda Slavia facelift will continue to be offered with the same 1.0L 3-cylinder turbo and 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo petrol engines. The former produces 115hp and 178Nm, while the 4-cylinder direct-injection turbo unit is good for 150hp and 250Nm of torque. Instead of a 6-speed automatic gearbox, the 1.0L engine will get a new 8-speed torque converter automatic unit. It also gets a 6-speed manual gearbox. The 1.5L engine will continue to be offered with a 7-speed DCT.
