2026 Skoda Slavia Facelift – What’s New?
For 2026, the Slavia receives a refreshed exterior, minor interior changes, new feature additions, along with the introduction of a new automatic gearbox for the 1-litre TSI engine.
Exterior
Starting with the exterior, the Slavia facelift retains the same silhouette as the outgoing model; however, subtle styling changes have been made to give it a refreshed appearance. That said, the mid-size sedan receives new LED headlamps with segmented DRLs, connected by a chrome strip on the grille. It also gets a new LED fog lamp setup, positioned on the redesigned sportier-looking bumper.
Things remain largely unchanged on the sides, save for the introduction of refreshed 16-inch alloy wheels. However, changes are now significant towards the rear in the form of revised LED tail-lamps with sequential turn indicators, updated SKODA branding, and a new bumper.
Buyers eyeing the top-spec Monte Carlo Edition will get a few distinctive cosmetic enhancements for a stealthier appearance. These include red accents on the grille and blacked-out exterior elements, badges, side mirrors and alloy wheels, along with special ‘Monte Carlo’ badges and dual-tone body shades.
New Colours
The Czech automaker has also introduced two new colours for the Slavia, including Arctic Silver and Cappuccino Beige.
Dimensions
The 2026 Slavia Facelift is 4,552mm long, 1,752mm wide, and 1,507mm tall. It has a wheelbase of 2,651mm and a ground clearance of 179mm. Its boot space stands at 521 litres.
Interior and Features
Inside, the Slavia facelift looks largely similar to the outgoing model, featuring a beige-and-black theme with copper inserts on the standard variants and an all-black theme with red inserts on the Monte Carlo Edition. However, Skoda has introduced a new monotone leatherette upholstery for the standard variants of the sedan, replacing the previous dual-tone finish seats.
In terms of features, Skoda has strengthened the Slavia facelift’s equipment list with new amenities like a slightly larger 10.1-inch infotainment system with updated user interface and Google AI assistant support, a new customisable 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, rear seat massage function (segment-first), and a 360-degree camera. The brand has also upgraded its AC compressor for improved cooling.
Besides, the 2026 Slavia continues to offer amenities such as powered-adjustable & ventilated front seats, a single-pane sunroof, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charger, rear AC vents, automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, an 8-speaker audio system, six airbags, TPMS, hill assist, and much more.
New 8-speed Gearbox
As we have seen with the facelifted Kushaq, Skoda has introduced an 8-speed torque-converter automatic transmission for the smaller 1-litre TSI turbo-petrol engine of the sedan. It is offered alongside the existing 6-speed manual gearbox. The 1.5-litre TSI turbo-petrol engine, on the other hand, continues to be offered with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
| Engine | 1-litre turbo-petrol engine | 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine |
| No of Cylinders | 3 | 4 |
| Max Power | 115 PS | 150 PS |
| Peak Torque | 178 Nm | 250 Nm |
| Transmission | 6-speed manual and 8-speed torque converter automatic (new) | 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission |
| Drivetrain | FWD | FWD |
