Skoda Slavia - Making Sedans Hot Again

For many, sedans are a dying breed considering the dominant SUV that has managed to appeal and please many consumers over a considerable length of time. With SUVs coming in many shapes and sizes now, there's one for nearly every purpose that different buyers are aiming to fulfill. Yet, in the deep recesses of the heart, the appeal of a three-box sedan or coupe overshadows the pragmatic SUV.

Skoda realises its strengths as a manufacturer that has been well regarded as one which has consistently offered desirable sedans in India. Going on the offensive to increase its product portfolio, the new Slavia comes as a successor to the Rapid and what they've created is a very likable offering.

The interior looks premium and contemporary with the layout and colours used in the cabin. Controls are intuitively placed while eliminating physical buttons gives it a minimal look. Although materials as well as fit and finish could use improvement.

10-inch infotainment operates smoothly, packs the latest connectivity features.

Rear passengers get ample legroom even for taller passengers
