Skoda Slavia Vs Rivals – Spec, Price, and Features Comparison

Skoda has recently launched the Slavia mid-size sedan in India, with prices ranging from Rs 10.69 lakh to Rs 17.79 lakh (ex-showroom). It replaces the ageing Skoda Rapid to rival the established players of the segment such as the Hyundai Verna, Honda City, and Maruti Suzuki Ciaz. So, does this new Czech sedan have the qualities to pose a threat to its challengers? Let’s find out.

  • The Skoda Slavia is the widest here and has the longest wheelbase (on par with the Ciaz), while the new-gen Honda City is the longest among all. However, both the Japanese cars have been crafted in such a way that they offer better cabin space than their rivals.

  • The Hyundai Verna is the only car here that comes with both naturally-aspirated and turbocharged petrol engine options, while the Skoda Slavia gets two turbo-petrol mills. On the other hand, the Honda City and Maruti Suzuki Ciaz come with naturally aspirated motors.
  • Skoda Slavia’s 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine is the most powerful and torquiest unit of the lot. It also gets Active Cylinder Technology (ACT) which shuts off two cylinders to ensure optimum fuel efficiency.
  • Speaking of the naturally aspirated petrol engine, the Honda City tops the chart here. In fact, its power figures are more than that of the 1.0-liter turbocharged mills of the Hyundai Verna and Skoda Slavia.
  • In terms of mileage, Maruti undoubtedly leads the segment.
