2022 Skoda Slavia: Design Highlights
Being the second product under the Volkswagen-Skoda Group’s India 2.0 project, the Slavia resembles the Octavia and the Superb. Following Skoda’s 125 years of design evolution, the mid-size sedan features a new hexagonal front grille with a double slat. Along with sharply contoured, crease-free lines across the body, the Slavia sports unique L-shaped DRLs integrated within the LED headlamps.
Additionally, the C-shaped LED taillights, 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, and rounded wheel arches complement Slavia’s wide yet muscular stance. With three variants on offer- Active, Ambition, and Style, the Slavia will offer customers a choice of 5 colours. These include Candy White, Brilliant Silver, Carbon Steel, Tornado Red, and Crystal Blue.
