The Slavia is 138 mm longer than the Rapid, and the wheelbase is about 100 mm more than the Rapid so more legroom at the rear. ➡️The Slavia comes with 2 turbocharged petrol powertrains. There's a 1-litre and a 1.5-litre iteration. These are the same engines that you get on the Kushaq. ➡️The 1-litre engine makes 114 bhp and comes with a 6 speed manual and 6 speed automatic, while the 1.5-litre version comes with 148 bhp and there's a 6 speed manual and a 7 speed DSG on offer. ➡️The ride on all the 4 cars I drove was different, while the 1.0 litre manual had softer suspension, the 1.5-litre automatic was sprung just right as it took all the rough patches on the road in its stride, without disturbing the occupants. ➡️Skoda says that a lot has been done on the safety front and the Slavia will come equipped with 6 airbags, and it has been crash tested at 64 km per hour with great results. ➡️The world premiere of the Slavia will take place in the second half of November and the compact sedan will be launched in the first quarter of 2022.
