2022 Skoda Slavia review, road test

Nestled in a tablet-like housing slapped onto the dashboard, Skoda’s 10-inch touchscreen’s user interface is quite straightforward and responsive. A dedicated shortcut bar to the left of the screen makes it easy to access certain functions, although some items like the two-step procedure to adjust the volume (from the screen) could have been better executed.

Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is a welcome feature, and it works seamlessly. In-built applications like Gaana, Audiobooks, etc., are great to have, however, their individual menus are fiddly, especially while on the move. Those who enjoy their music will appreciate the 380W 8-speaker sound system that also packs in a subwoofer with tight and crisp bass. It also gets some connected car features via a mobile application. Remains composed at all speeds, and infuses confidence in the driver. The lighter 1.0 feels a tad nicer to drive than the slightly nose heavy 1.5.
