The Czech company Skoda has announced the premiere of the new compact sedan Slavia, which will take place in December this year. This is clear from the teaser depicting the outline of the body of the model and the inscription “Winter 2021”.
Skoda Slavia will be the second model of the Czech brand, designed specifically for the Indian market, after the Kushaq crossover, introduced in March 2021. The name of the model refers to the eponymous bicycles and motorcycles of the late 19th century from the brand Laurin & Klement, whose successor is the company Skoda.
In India, the new Skoda Slavia will occupy the segment represented by the Scala model in Europe and the new generation Rapid in Russia. At the same time, it is possible that Slavia cars will later appear in other countries, writes Autonews.
The Skoda Slavia will be built around the scalable MQB A0 architecture, which is at the heart of Volkswagen’s current budget models, including the new Skoda Fabia, Volkswagen Polo and Seat Ibiza. The range of engines will include 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbo engines with 95 and 110 horsepower.
The units will work in tandem with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed robotic gearbox with two clutches. At the top of the range will be a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with 150 horsepower, running only on the DSG (direkttschaltgetriebe – electronically controlled gearbox with direct shift and two clutches).
