This mid-life cycle update of the Czech mid-size sedan brings cosmetic and powertrain updates, along with new features. Here is a closer look at the new Skoda Slavia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"2026-skoda-slavia-facelift-design\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2026 Skoda Slavia Facelift: Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Default_bp1200_1-ezgif.com-compress-jpg-1160x653.jpg\" alt=\"2026 Skoda Slavia facelift\" class=\"wp-image-536049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Default_bp1200_1-ezgif.com-compress-jpg-1160x653.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Default_bp1200_1-ezgif.com-compress-jpg-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Default_bp1200_1-ezgif.com-compress-jpg-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Default_bp1200_1-ezgif.com-compress-jpg.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">2026 Skoda Slavia facelift<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While the new Skoda Slavia carries over the overall silhouette from the pre-facelift model, there are enough changes to make it look distinguishable. Up front, the new Slavia gets a redesigned headlamp cluster with segmented LED DRLs, new faux carbon-fibre trim at the reworked grille\u2019s bottom, and a sharper bumper with a latticed air dam. The bonnet is the same as before. Over to the side, the Slavia sits on 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels with a new design, and gets the same pronounced beltline and chrome-treated door handles as before. At the rear, the new Slavia comes with a new trim between the tail lights with \u2018SKODA\u2019 lettering and new Skoda Kushaq-like sequential turn indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2026 Skoda Slavia facelift is available in 10 exterior paint options: Arctic Silver, Cappuccino Beige, Shimla Green, Steel Grey, Brilliant Silver, Candy White, Carbon Steel, Cherry Red, Deep Black, and Lava Blue. Of these, Arctic Silver and Cappuccino Beige are new options, while the others have been carried over from the pre-facelift model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"2026-skoda-slavia-facelift-interior-and-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2026 Skoda Slavia Facelift: Interior and Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260818_124156_a7bf2ffd-ezgif.com-compress-jpg-1160x653.jpg\" alt=\"2026 Skoda Slavia interior \" class=\"wp-image-536048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260818_124156_a7bf2ffd-ezgif.com-compress-jpg-1160x653.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260818_124156_a7bf2ffd-ezgif.com-compress-jpg-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260818_124156_a7bf2ffd-ezgif.com-compress-jpg-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260818_124156_a7bf2ffd-ezgif.com-compress-jpg.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">2026 Skoda Slavia interior <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside, the Skoda Slavia retains the overall interior layout, with the same dashboard design, dual-tone black-and-beige colour theme, and two-spoke steering wheel as before. While the touchscreen infotainment unit is floating, as in the outgoing model, it now features a larger 10.1-inch screen, replacing the older 10-inch screen. Moreover, a larger 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster replaces the older 8-inch unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of features, the new Skoda Slavia has received the aforementioned larger 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with an AI assistant, a larger 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 360-degree camera, and a segment-first massaging function for the rear seats. Meanwhile, the Slavia continues to offer a single-pane sunroof, automatic climate control, a wireless phone charger, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, connected car tech, keyless entry, cruise control, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, Skoda has added front parking sensors to Slavia\u2019s safety equipment. The rest of the safety equipment includes 6 airbags, electronic stability control, a tyre pressure monitoring system, all-wheel disc brakes, hill-hold assist, rear parking sensors, and an electronic differential lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"2026-skoda-slavia-facelift-engine-and-transmission\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2026 Skoda Slavia Facelift: Engine and Transmission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Skoda Slavia comes with the same engine options as before. These include a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 115 PS and 178 Nm of peak torque, and a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine producing 150 PS and 250 Nm of peak torque. All the same, in the transmission options, an 8-speed torque-converter automatic replaces the 6-speed torque-converter automatic for the smaller 1-litre turbo petrol engine. Meanwhile, like the outgoing model, the new Slavia offers a 6-speed manual transmission with the smaller 1-litre petrol engine and a sole 7-speed DSG automatic with the larger 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine. The following are all engine and transmission details for the 2026 Skoda Slavia facelift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Engine<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>1-litre turbo-petrol engine<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Power<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">115 PS<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">150 PS<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Torque<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">178 Nm<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">250 Nm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Transmission<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">6-speed MT or 8-speed AT(New)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">7-speed DSG<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"2026-skoda-slavia-facelift-price-and-rivals\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2026 Skoda Slavia Facelift: Price and Rivals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2026 Skoda Slavia facelift will launch in October 2026 and is expected to be priced at Rs. 11 \u2013 18 lakh (ex-showroom).
