Skoda Slavia facelift production begins in Pune

Skoda Slavia facelift production has commenced at Skoda Auto Volkswagen India’s Chakan plant in Pune. The updated sedan is expected to reach customers during the festive season, while prices are yet to be announced.

What changes on the 2026 Slavia?

The facelift brings revised exterior styling and new features to the Slavia. The biggest mechanical update mentioned for this version is the addition of an 8-speed torque-converter automatic with the 1.0-litre TSI engine.

The 2026 Slavia continues with the existing engine outputs of 115hp for the 1.0 TSI and 150hp for the 1.5 TSI. These figures are part of the announced powertrain lineup, while final variant-wise details have not been specified yet.

What buyers should know

For someone planning to buy a Slavia this month, the key point is that the facelift is already in production but has not reached customers yet. Skoda is expected to announce pricing closer to its market arrival.

Until then, buyers considering the current Slavia should compare the available car with the upcoming facelift, particularly if the revised styling, added features or new automatic transmission matter to their purchase decision.

Key changes to watch

• Revised exterior styling on the 2026 Skoda Slavia
• New features added to the facelifted sedan
• 8-speed torque-converter automatic for the 1.0 TSI
• 115hp 1.0 TSI engine continues
• 150hp 1.5 TSI engine continues

When will the new Slavia arrive?

Production has now started, with customer deliveries expected during the festive season. Skoda has not yet announced the final prices, so buyers will need to wait for the official pricing and variant details before making a final decision.

The facelift therefore gives buyers another option to consider rather than being an immediate replacement available in showrooms today.

Would you wait for the 2026 Skoda Slavia facelift or consider the current model now?
