Zac Hollis, Brand Director, Skoda AUTO India, said, "Close on the heels of the launch of the Slavia 1.0 TSI, we are elated to launch the all-new Slavia 1.5 TSI today. This premium mid-size sedan is a completely different offering, with technology, capabilities and performance levels that are way above its segment. On offer are several firsts in its category, which will appeal to an audience that loves taking the wheel. The Slavia 1.5 TSI follows in the spirit and legacy of high-performance Skodas from the past and is the reason we have retained the option of a manual gearbox, along with the DSG automatic. We are confident our customers will experience and appreciate the distinction from the 1.0 TSI and enjoy the tangible and intangible embellishments that the 1.5 TSI offers."
