Makes for a sensible city car which can even take the luggage for a long drive, what else is required. Looks great, great boots pace, seating is comfortable. Guess it fits in well for a city car.
At 7:27 is reported that it has 18.3 cubic feet or 521 liters of trunk or boot space. This is a TOP 500 SEDAN, which belongs to the select group of those whow have more than 500 liters of capacity in its trunk or boot and I'm going to put this video on my decents sedan playlist! SEDANS TOP 500 playlist
A well packaged good looking car with competitive prices. And Skoda has worked in the areas complained about in Kushaq. The raised ground clearance offers the capability to tackle our roads better. The only factor working against is the shrinking sedan segment and could hurt sales. But if someone is looking for the most amount of real estate for their money, they should look no further.
More insightful on the drive experience.. seen alomost all the reviews . This one is the most honest and practical for a person looking at this car..
Can i know fluid tank capacity of skoda slavia which is not mentioned in the dimensions of the description
Great to see Executive Sedan segment getting a new lease of life. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a dying bodystyle as in higher up segments sedans still churns profit & are very desirable, the only thing is that most of the manufacturers aren't just ready to experiment with them, instead jumping on the bandwagon of Crossovers all thanks to usual terrible road infrastructures in India & ofcourse to showoff to some extent. But irony is that ride, handling, driving pleasure & fuel efficiency of a sedan is any day better than a Crossover.
The Best ever intro and review for Slavia... Watched many times as a happy owner
Hi nice review thanks. Had a question - does it have Side impact beams ? As Virtus mentions it has side impact beams. Any comments on this . Thanks again
Rapid, that was a lovely car. I remember when someone I know got the diesel variant, the 1.6 one, I took it for a drive and totally fell in love with it. It was a perfect package marred by only fly in the ointment, which was Skoda's After Sales Support. Thankfully that has been sorted out now but the gem (in my opinion ofcourse), the 1.5L TDi should have been upgraded to BS6. Yeah yeah emission scandal and I remember, but when rivals could pull off the upgrade, why couldnt Skoda? I mean Honda did it and I think it may sell fewer number of 1.5L iDTEC than what Skoda and VW could have, considering it would have found its place in Polo, Kushaq, Taigun and VIrtus too. Anyways, aside from that I think Slavia is a superb product and I think it looks better than the Virtus.
Buyers though could shy away from the single digit fuel economy numbers. Goa does have narrow lanes but from what i could see most of the drive was on open roads. Add to that fact that on board computers show over optimistic numbers most of the time, which could mean that real world economy could be worse. I hope I am wrong because I want the Slavia to do well, it deserves to, one of the few cars that could still plaster a smile on a drivers face. I hope to see the full road test soon :)
I’ve a Rapid TSI and the single digit FE the Slavia cluster showed for the day was indeed a surprise for me as well. Well, in crawling city traffic it falls really bad but climbs up on an open highway if you manage to drive sedately 😅
Skoda Rápid 1.6 petrol also is very good. They were NA engines. I don't know why VAG offers only turbo engine now.
@@kirantoleti They offer turbo for more power & efficiency balance.
@@wheelspins I have a rapid Tsi onyx. I get 12 to 13 in tight traffic. And 17 on highways if driven sedate. When I drive with a hard foot, I find myself getting around 14-15.
Fantastic car. Superb review as always. 👍🏻
Thanks Rohit… Waiting for 1.5 review..
However high the power or torque of the engine is, in India the speed limit is a max of 120 kmph only, which almost any car touches nowadays.
1.0 with start /stop? Can it also be disabled?
Nice review Rohit .
Can we talk about Flex fuel and Flex engine that Govt of India trying to force on manufacturer.
Should we wait for flex engine ?
Car look really nice..
But can someone tell me about After sales service ?
Is skoda after sales service is Bad?
Did customers face any issues with dealer ?
Did they resolve the issue ?
Can Someone help me with their experience?
I am surprised why is nobody addressing the elephant in the room? The fuel economy at 8.4 km/l is very disappointing. Small capacity turbo petrol on a big car is not going to work in the longer run. Better to spend those extra 2-3 lakhs and go for the 1.5 litre. It may have a better fuel economy because the engine will be less stressed. At this economy for 1.0 litre engine Sloda will find it very difficult to to compete with the super efficient Honda City. I very much like the car otherwise though and wish it good luck.
True, I was also wondering why the point isn't being raised by anyone. That was the first thing I noticed. A 12-13 combined would have been appreciated. This isn't going to take them anywhere, considering petrol at 110 a litre, which will happen pretty soon.
Honda city Automatic gave us 9kmpl in city & 12-13 in highway. How super efficient it is.. wow!!
Skies and surfing boards, in India?
Why did you not mention the squeaks and rattles in the dashboard? Only Zigwheels did!
Which Slavia 1 ltr is more engaging to drive, MT or AT?
I think it would be excellent Highway tourer
Safety rating ?. Air bags ?
Tnx
I think Goa is the only last viable place in the entirety of India left for these journalist to review an upcoming car. Hmmmmm, India is becoming smaller and smaller day by day.
True
Please tell about your weight loss process like how to loose Weight
Hatchbacks are too downmarket (even the A class)..sedans are the way to go
First gen octy did not have good space at rear. This is much better
The Indian cousin of the Brazilian VOLKSWAGEN VIRTUS.
Truth. It has the same wheelbase and the same trunk capacity as the Brazilian Volkswagen Virtus. By the way, they use the same platform.
XUV 700 ya slavia. Konsi lu bhai petrol me. Highway drives main hai. Nd city me Delhi road ache h.
Slavia 1.5 mt
Is sedan ok for highways and long trips ? I am thinking of XUV ax5 pt mt. Only because of highway rides. I have never driven a sedan for long
@@harshgahlot797 bro there are some initial glitches in 7oo,if roads are good then sedans 👌🏻👌🏻
@@saatviksharma13 okhyy. Then I am going for slavia 1.0 at. Thanks !
@@harshgahlot797 yes for city commute torque converter is better than dsg,if you want fun then go for 1.5 mt,do some more research.
Skoda /Volkswagen 1.0 TSI Engine performance

if you haven't seen overdrive review, well you haven't seen a car review.🙂
Buy some Chinese Shi..t from a Manufacturer like M-G,
Buying and enjoying this Skoda would be thousand times better.
The Slavia actually drives like a beauty.
How can they fit a 1 litre engine in such a long car and decide to sell, and I see there are already potential customers for this awkward engine in a sedan👎
There is a 1.5 l too!
Because it's a turbocharged engine? I don't see your point here
It’s turbocharged and makes 115 hp which is in league with the power outputs of other 1.5 naturally aspirated engines of its rivals. In gear acceleration is better than the equivalent Citys and Vernas. You’re the kind of guy that judges a book by its cover, I see.
Simple get a test drive and feel the torque. This 1 L tsi is a beast
@@TJSaw he is the kind of guy who keeps talking what he hears. 😂
All fine, but kmpl below 10! Means it would cost RS 10/_ for every km you drive!!
THIS may be a deal breaker.
Skoda & VW is being adamant on not bringing diesel bs6, while losing out a lot of business at the same time, they have one of the best diesel engines in the world. And this is definitely a deal breaker for a lot of indians who travel a lot.
@@rahulkrish9840 diesels will be phased out in the next 4-7 years.. why bother upgrading to meet environmental norms when it isn't even sustainable
@@cannotthinkofoneatth Then, we all have to stop driving even petrol cars if you preach sustainability here.
@@rahulkrish9840 lol, I am not preaching anything.. the world is moving towards it and since I don't take global decisions, I have to move too.. can you stop the switch to EV globally
1L with turbo gdi is a combination that is going to fail on a heavy car. Long term dont go for small engine,
The engine seems to be too small for such a big car. You'll definitely feel lack of power. VW Skoda have only two engines - 1.0 and 1.5 TSI for
1.0 L turbo petrol is quite powerful
@@Nidhin.chandrasekhar maybe, but it's the same in polo, kushaq, Vento.
One thing we miss is "engineering and R&D", is there any other company which pulls 178 torque from 1 lt engine. If it was so why not I10 and celerio did same and gave powerful engine to customer.
It is like you would go for 32 pixel camera of MI or 12 pixel of apple. Always numbers don't matter, engineering and end package matters. Same engine has different bhp and torque in all skoda cars.
@@shrinivasshaiwale3984 valid point, but my concern is the maintenance cost of turbo engines. For 6 yrs it is ok, u hv warranty. Suppose someone buys the car to keep it for longer period, wouldn’t the turbo engine demand high cost for maintenance? I own a Skoda rapid petrol 1.6 petrol. It’s NA engine and has excellent power. I heard that the 1.0 TSI engine also produces equal power as the 1.6 NA engine. I was tempted to think of Slavia but couldn’t let go of the 1.6 MPI.
Yes agreed, that problem of turbo remains with all car manufacturer, especially automatics all vehicles are in torque and not in NA nowadays. TSI of VW group is long tested but not the torque engines of other companies, relatively new. Maintainance it seems for now prices have reduced due to India made products, but still concerns are there post 5 years. Noted nowadays Mahindra also 15k service, that's a gamble and consumer needs to be smart to save amount.

179mm ground clearance means lot of body rolls and tiring rides. Not done skoda...
I agree. 170mm should have been the right balance between compromise on body roll while ensuring a good enough ground clearance for the Indian road conditions.
Based on the suspension set up. Height doesn't translate to body roll. I would say its a clever move my skoda.
@@rahulkrish9840 No bro! Trust me I have cars with higher GC.. ride quality is simply horrible. 100kms feels like 1000kms on it.
@@tradingunivercity5461 ride quality is different from body roll. GC doesn't have to do anything with ride quality. Its all about how the suspension system is tuned for the roads. Body roll increases with GC, but 179mm is the same in scorpio & Slavia. That doesn't mean Slavia will have the same body roll as the poor dynamic crappy mahindra.
@@rahulkrish9840 Take Slavia and scorpio to patchy and sudden holes road that you get here you'll know which car is better😂
