Skoda Auto India is gearing up to launch the new Slavia facelift in August 2026; however, its official launch date is yet to be announced. The midsize sedan is expected to come with slightly revised styling, several new features and a new 8-speed automatic gearbox. While full product details will be officially revealed next months, multiple spy images and videos have already given us a fair ideal of what to expect.

Larger Display & More
Starting with the interior, the new 2026 Skoda Slavia facelift will feature a larger 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, similar to the one offered in the Kushaq. However, the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and the two-spoke steering wheel with silver scroll wheels will be carried over from the current model. The sedan might also receive a new cabin theme, seat upholstery and front parking sensors.
Similar to the Kushaq, Skoda might offer the new Slavia with a rear-seat massage function. Other features including an 8-speaker sound system, a single pane sunroof, automatic climate control with rear vents, a wireless phone charger, a tyre pressure monitoring system, six airbags will be caried over.
Subtle Design Changes
On the exterior, the new 2026 Skoda Slavia facelift is likely to feature a redesigned front grille with an integrated lighting element similar to the one on the Kushaq. The headlamps will get new LED lighting elements. Other design highlights will include revised front and rear bumpers and newly-designed alloy wheels.
Same Engines
As mentioned above, the new 2026 Skoda Slavia facelift is likely to retain the existing engine options: a 115hp 1.0-litre turbo-petrol and a 150hp 1.5-litre turbo-petrol. The 1.0L engine will continue to be available with a 6-speed manual gearbox and a 6-speed AT, while the 1.5L engine could be offered with a new 8-speed torque-converter unit sourced from the Kushaq. The 1.5L turbo petrol engine can also be had with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT).
