Skoda Slavia facelift gets 8-speed automatic and 10.1-inch touchscreen, pitched against City, Verna and Virtus
Skoda's Slavia facelift gets a 10.1-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch virtual cluster and a new 8-speed torque converter automatic on the 1-litre turbo-petrol. ZigWheels praises its design, features, boot and handling against the Honda City, Hyundai Verna and Volkswagen Virtus.
The numbers
Figures from ZigWheels,
| Previous automatic gearbox: | 6-speed |

Why it matters for the brand
Skoda is competing in the midsize sedan segment by upgrading the Slavia's gearbox and in-cabin technology rather than just its price, which raises the feature bar for the Honda City, Hyundai Verna and Volkswagen Virtus.
