2022 Skoda Slavia front

Skoda hasn’t skimped on standard safety and security features, so even the base ‘Active’ variant gets ESP, ABS with EBD, dual airbags, multicollision braking, electronic differential lock, traction control, tyre loss indicator, and an anti-theft alarm. Higher variants include hillhold assist, six airbags, auto LED headlamps and wipers, cruise control and sunroof.

Subwoofer is neatly tucked away in the full-sized spare wheel.
The Slavia shares the Kushaq’s touch-sensitive climate control and 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system that packs in wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. But it goes a step further and offers a 380W, eight-speaker and subwoofer set-up, which sounds even better than the Kushaq’s six-speaker and subwoofer layout.

Ventilated front seats are a boon in a tropical climate like ours.
Wireless phone charging too is part of the package, and the cabin boasts of four USB Type-C type charging provisions (front and rear), as well as a 12V socket. Kit like telescopic steering, cooled glovebox, height adjustable driver and passenger seats, and a front armrest make it to the list. There’s also an 8.0-inch digital instrument cluster on offer, along with ventilated front seats, which are a boon in a tropical climate like ours.

Air-con takes a while to cool down the cabin; blower is a bit loud.

It's better to be sceptical about the Skoda cars in India. The history goes against the Skoda brand cars in India, superb, Octavia, Laura, Fabia, Yeti and now the Rapid. Skoda cars seen on the road for 3 to 4 since the launch date and then these vanish into the thin air and are not seen thereafter.
