Following the launch of the Skoda Slavia 1.0 TSI on February 28, Skoda has now announced prices for the more powerful 1.5 TSI variants, only available on the top-spec Style trim. The Slavia 1.5 TSI manual has been priced at ₹ 16.19 lakh, while the automatic variant costs ₹ 17.79 lakh (ex-showroom, India). With bookings ongoing, deliveries for the 1.5 TSI variants will begin towards the end of March.
The main change lies under the hood, as this version of the Slavia uses the more powerful 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, TSI turbo-petrol engine that puts out 150hp and 250Nm (same as the unit in the Kushaq). This engine can be had with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT automatic gearbox.
Visually, there is no change over the 1.0 TSI model to help differentiate the variants; it too features a well-proportioned and sleek design, with strong ties to the rest of Skoda’s sedan range.
