I am commenting this after watching ur entire video. I can really say that this has to be the BEST review video by a Slavia owner!! Your videography and cinematography deserves appreciation as well. The shots were amazing and I was actually surprised to see such good shots in ur video. The shooting location was excellent and made the first part of the video even better. All points were covered nicely and all minute details were addressed. I seriously want this video to cross 1 M views ASAP. You have delivered more than expected in this video, and the wait was totally worth it. Hats off to your efforts which can be clearly seen here. Looking forward to see similar quality videos in future as well ❤️
I will prefer okay okay build quality with excellent safety with good features over a bulletproof build with no features. Just my opinion, I use my car to drive from A to B not to stand on it's doors. Excellent move by Skoda, I appreciate the increase in features, as they are finally giving what a practical Indian wants along with their European masala.
People in India think in only black and white. They think it's either Tata with 5 star rating and others are garbage. They don't realise Skoda's 10% less build quality still beats others in segment in build quality > city/verna.

Thanks for the detailed review. Kudos to your effort. Nice intro with the backdrop of Water canal. I enjoy driving my Slavia1.0 AT too. Yes, the creep is bit annoying and one needs to be more cautious while parking the car.

Very humble review. Both Skoda and VW have understood the market in India. Even though all these new age cars re getting lighter which the old Skoda/VW owners might not like much but then they never cut corners in terms of safety features and the basic requirements. Well done with the review. Keep up the good stuff Sir! Best wishes.
Best Slavia review ever...love your other reaction videos too..very honest and attention to details are amazing...I agree some of the things are for left hand drives and they didnt change it for RHD....in the intro - yeh gaadi mujhe skoda ne di hai...jab meine use paise diye :D :D great sense of humor too
The introduction really got me 😃. Very nice detailed and practical review which will benefit 90 percent prospective buyers. User reviews are always much helpful and better than the so called automobile journalists reviews. Thats why i say please don’t just see those reviews and buy a car. Also Bro, the Slavia is not only longer than the TRoc but also the wheelbase is much more. No wonder your family might just start loving the Slavia much more , and i am sure they already do😄 Kudos brother. Keep it up. Well shot video. Your best till date

Sunderdeep congrats for new car. As you know I'm big fan of German engineering and VW Skoda. MQBA0 IN been biased against Indians. Finally I got Jeep compass petrol and good decision. VW really hired sleeper cells. Just compare TRoc around 23L German built vs Taigun 22.5L localised. They should learn something from Jeep where without compromising quality they localised in India and exporting to 26 countries. Other side, VW totally launched cheap material specific to Indians. Treated Indians still as 3rd world country. VW Skoda, what was stopping them to offer same German cars with same quality with localisation?
Hi Pradeep, I beg to disagree because these are completely different segment cars. One starts from less than 11 lacs & other from 17.50 lacs These are fine cars & perhaps segment best for what they offer as per the price. I felt good & hence picked Slavia. This whole quality issue is over exaggerated. Compass is definitely a great car but straight 40% expensive.
@@SunderdeepSingh yes I agree Jeep it's bit 4-5L over priced. I'm not comparing any segments. It's all about VW Skoda strategy of straight forward cost cutting left right center. Why not same cost cutting in Europe. There is no benefit of localisation to end customers.
@@pradeepm.s.6944 VW does not want to reduce their profit margin. Cost cutting from localisation in the form of reduced quality has been compensated by giving more features. I do not fully blame vag for this coz if you look purely at number of Indians giving preference to quality over features is minimal - Caruti fuzuki case in point. But yea, after seeing the Taigun in person, I got same thoughts that vw decided to compromise on their core values and just cash in on from the so called brand value……. But as compared to competitors, still a great product.
@@Manpreetsingh-ro8vg Manpreet, after test drive i felt like my just exchanged wagonr, i felt it's 9L value car not worth of 22.5L investment. They would have made profit just with localisation without quality compromise and export from here like my new Jeep compass. It's double hammer 🔨 to Indians one no cost benefit second quality compromise. I challenge VW Skoda same product sell it in Germany or any European country.
@@pradeepm.s.6944 The challenge is useless as it is the company’s prerogative what kind of quality they want to offer and in which region , More so when coming from MS owner. Have you ever questioned Suzuki on their build quality and non existent of safety on their cars? My concern is/was I wanted to see similar level of quality in new vw cars as seen in vento/polo. As compared to competitors, vw is still better. Also, I challenge Caruti fuzuki to manufacture cars with similar build quality that vw is offering in their new cars in India. I have not talked about the TSI engine technology, heard any innovation from Suzuki?
Thanks for this review. Its long awaited. I got average of 18kmpl, for long highway driveway mostly light foot drive at 80 to 100 kmph speed. In second drive, 100 to 120kmph speed, average reduced to 17kmpl. Both are very good. And never had to use S mode... it drives very good in D mode also.
@@RahulPatil-uq1okin very heavy traffic, about 9.5 , long term or monthly average is about 11.5. It also depends on trip distance. Small trip will give you less average.
Things I love in cars of this price range: City: Ergonomics, feature distribution, looks, reliability, resale value, good service, 4 airbags standard Slavia: fresh looks, good ground clearance without body roll, build quality, pure engineering Verna: pasand nhi hai personally. Seltos: great looks, various engine and transmissions to choose from, ride quality, interior build quality. Creta: just one thing-sunroof, otherwise it nothing special Kushaq: better overall ride than Taigun, love the orange color Taigun: similarity in looks to Tiguan(my aspirational car), the tail lamps.
things I hate: City: nvh levels are too high, infotainment quality is ancient, no wireless apple/android auto Slavia: dhoond raha hu Verna: doesnt offer the space of a sedan, neither does it handle like the others in class, doesnt offer the best comfort either. back seat space is too bad for a sedan Seltos: bulletproof safety Creta: looks bad(TW) and it is too strong(can bear the weight of 3 elephants; I'm jealous cause of that. Kushaq: dhoond raha hu Taigun: dhoond raha hu
Actually i found seltos's ride quality as very stiff and isn't comfortable at all if you are gonna sit in the second row although this helps in the handling aspect of the car
How did you find the response of the brakes of Slavia (32.50) on reasonably high speed - above 50 kmph? I noticed a little lag in the Kodiaq - it takes a while to halt.
Nice review of this beauty , if possible please make a video on what to remember when driving an automatic car for first time as I feel there is lot of feel diffrence and factors I need to be aware of (like no engine braking etc).
Mileage figures on my 1.0 Taigun manual (tank to tank) with AC at 23 C and fan speed at 3 mix city + highway drive - 17.12 kmpl city drive only with no bumper to bumper traffic- 14 kmpl city + highway drive with long traffic jams and bumper to bumper traffic - 12.8 kmpl Haven't done a purely highway with no traffic and a city bumper to bumper tank to tank check so can't comment on that. But on a recent trip, the MID showed 19.2 kmpl on a fairly busy highway with broken roads with AC on. Previously have got 21 kmpl on good highway without AC as per MID.
Excellent review paaji.. Very well covered about all the situations that this car will be generally driven. Definitely a very good and balanced product.
Mujhe yeh car bhut psand h but kuch log ne bola isse accha city lelo sem h isme kuch khas nhi h but sardar ji apki baat se sahmat hu bhut cungusd thi mujhe ye hi leni h thanks better rewue k liye ❤️
Paaji hyundai/XUV700 are giving vw/skoda horns and vw/skoda apne basics bhool gaye h.. I'm waiting for an update in which they bring back the OG horn, all 4 auto power windows with antipinch and key roll up down feature. I can't imagine a VW/skoda without these. I think they should listen to their customers.
Nice shots paaji I hope ki ab so called auto reviewers ko thodi akal aaye jo apne review me sirf ye baat bolte hai ki this is not top quality ,this is not vw quality. They don't a speak a single word about quality when they review other brands cars
Sir...Currently driving VW vento 1.5 TDI..Confused between Slavia Ambition...CITY VX and Virtus...Road presence and driving pleasure is preference....I love my Vento its too fun...just that it has got old :(
Thanks a lot paaji....... Practical review and such a brilliant car..... Well engineered or shall I say German Engineered....... Weve to see how it will hold it's basics over the time for which VW & Skoda are famous for✌️
I think your Camera lens has oily stain or maybe fingerprint. That's the reason why white looked fussy with glare & lack of contrast in the image. Liked your overall VDO on Slavia. Should have restricted to under 30 minutes. Keep it up. Great job. 👌👍👏👏👏
All you have to do is keep a used or discarded banian cloth piece. After hundreds of wash it becomes lint free at the same time it's 100% cotton. It the Best oil & moisture absorbent material. Keep it in your Camera bag & just wipe in a circular motion start from the centre to the outer most edge. Your job is done. If stains are rigid moist the little edge or corner of the cloth with very mild liquid soap water (90% water - 10% liquid soap) Again clean with dry cloth. You are done.

Confused between Virtus and Slavia, what would you suggest is better? (watched the video, couldn't understand why this over virtus. can you please mention some points which is better?)
Lack of a diesel engine is still refraining me from considering any VAGs as of now. For my needs and requirements everything is present apart from a diesel engine. Fuel efficiency is a major factor for my driving and due to that i will choose Verna over any other sedans at this price point because of it being powerful, torquey and at the same time extremely fuel efficient.
hands down this was the best video done by you sir small changes in video makes a big diffrence and it is the best true review of slavia anyone can find on youtube very detailed and direct on point keep growing 🙌 best wishes
Bro, your videos are really a personal feedback like a close buddy talking to me & feel like we are drivingtogether...Good effort to share so much info.. Just a question we can get the horn retrofit outside for a traditional Skoda horn
Sir hybrid ka samajh mein aaya lekin baaki gaadiyon ka kum se kum ek saal ya 10 k kms ke baad review zyaada achha rahega. Gaadi aur service ki sachhai pata lagne ke liye
Sir i am planning to buy skoda slavia 1•5L but i have concern. about some of the things : 1)DSG gear box reliability issue 2) seating comfort Can uh please tell me about this things !
Seating comfort is already mentioned in the video ? DQ200 DSG gearbox will fail someday if not kept properly. I have seen people whose DSG gearbox haven't failed even after 8-9 years and 1lac plus kms but they might be just lucky or take great care of their gearbox like shift it to N or P within 3-4 sec as the car comes to a halt to prevent overheating of gearbox or avoid it in bumper to bumper traffic often. I think you should buy the DQ200 DSG only if - 1) You're not going to use the car in conditions that will heat up the gearbox often or take good care to protect it 2) Going to sell the car in 5 years 3) Are mentally prepared for on an average 2 breakdowns in a span of 10 years (one breakdown under warranty and one from your pocket).
Thanks for the video! Question: Do you feel a slight lag in D mode when starting off from a stop? Creep function was ok, but pushing the pedal lightly I found a little reluctance before the speed picking up. Is it a TSI engine thing? (Found this issue with no load)
@@SunderdeepSingh yes you are right much better in S mode 👍 thanks! Looks like D shifts up gears too soon exposing the turbo lag? Booked my Slavia today 🍻
But there strategy to charge a premium on vw products than Skoda is beyond my understanding. I hope they don't make this mistake with the upcoming virtus. There shouldn't be sea diff in pricing when both the cars are essentially the same. Don't know why vw line up is ranked above or has been provided a more aspirational value than Skoda.
hello sir I m your fan please make a review about ground clearance I thik in India people dont buy verna /city kyuke ve niche se lagti hain mein gaon mein rhta hu to mujhe kya vitus leni chiye kyuke jeep campass ka or iska ground clearance same hai isse phle mein jeep campass soch rha tha please suggest
Very nice video paaji. How is the performance of this engine on hills fully loaded ( 5 pax + full boot)? I am hoping it would be very good, but just want to hear your practical experience if any.
Paa ji . Two things I’m missing in my Slavia Style are 1. IR cut windows ( Cabin is not as cool as Vento ) 2. German horn ( As you said I can get it aftermarket) Also the thud of Vento is stronger The looks are great giving BMW like feel
Paaji I own a Kushaq 1.0 Style AT and have one doubt. Can we change the gears using the paddle shifter while keeping our foot down or should we release the throttle while changing the gears using paddle shifter. Great video by the way. Cheers
Ambition varient me headlight top mdoel waali dete to haal le leta, bhut sochna pad rha hai sirf headlight ki wajah se. Headlight ki wajah se top model hi lena pdega
@Sunderdeep singh I have purchased Taigun 1.0 AT topline.. I did the test drive and loved both D and sport mode and immediately booked it.. I am now the owner of it.. After looking at the reviews of 1.0 and 1.5 tsi engines..I feel like on hill areas (where I will go once in 2 months) with 5 passengers and luggage 1.0 taigun may struggle.. my question is.. in such situations will sport mode be the saviour?
Hello Sunderdeep ji kaise hai aap, pls define why VW engine in 01L Turbo segment 3 cylinder is more powerful than other 3 cylinder 1200cc Turbo engine in Indian market whether in performance as well as in BHP and torque condition
Hello Surderdeep ji I am one of your follower. I have Skoda slavia style automatic turbo 1.0I just saw one of your on CZcams regarding creep mode problem have you get any solution for that?
Paji... Great Video.. 🙌👍👍 As first attempt 100/100. 💯🔥 I was underestimating White color of #Slavia, but In white also #Slavia looks #Killer. Your efforts are very evident and we all appreciate that. I personally like the fact even being #VW #Skoda lover, You openly spoke about whatever are the negatives of car. So you maintained #Honest #Reviewer title.. kudos. While driving , for video capturing.. I will suggest for next video , you can buy that same Head Strap Camera which #faisal wears, it will be safer and you can show us also your badass driving skills like #Faisal #Khan. 😛😛 Waiting for a drag race video.. you know which one.. 😛😛🙏🙏🙏 great work paji...way ..way..long way to go. 🤍🤍
Thanks Brother. I do have a headstrap but my DJI OSMO doesn’t have ultra wide 180% degree camera like in GoPro. I need to see if a shoulder strap can solve the issue.
Hi , Which is the best car under 25 lakhs Wanted to purchase troc , but discontinued for now Xuv700:high waiting period , more than a year Taigun / kushaq : cramped rear seats for a 6 feet + height person Honda city : no sedan at least + not so great build Innova : expensive and no value for money Tiguan : out of budget Harrier/safari : overdone looks and below avg fit and finish interior doesn’t seem to be well made , lots of panel gaps , and that pathetic touchscreen😡 Options shortlisted : Jeep Compass limited petrol AT (fun to drive factor missing + rear seat comfort), mg hector sharp cvt (long term reliability+that donkey ,Chinese car image ), Hyundai Tucson(not interested for Hyundai as upgrading from a Honda car) Hence , no perfect car under 25-27 lakhs budget 🥲 , no skoda Octavia (low headroom +not a proper family car) Will go for asking the price quotation for superb/Tiguan ,if they give me some discount , ready to pay if comes under 32 lacs after discounts
Kindly do a Night review and I got disappointed by tyre noise in cabin please elaborate I am planning to buy slavia 1.5 tsi currently they are not giving any test drive of it so if suspension are same in both I may have to reconsider thanks.
great video, very detailed! 👍 Just one query, you have been a big proponent of safety so I am not able to digest the fact that you bought a 15 lac car which is offering just 2 airbags (compared to City VX CVT which offers 6 and costs around 40k more with other added features). I understand you and your wife did not like the City but then there were other options in the market hatchbacks or CSUVs which would offer more airbags as well as proven safety ratings. Yes the Slavia offers a great package but at this price point one expects to get all safety features, given the fact that this platform has still not been tested by GNCAP. Honestly, Skoda has vastly underspecced the Active and Ambition variants on both Kushaq and Slavia and don't offer a better VFM product as compared to competitors. Only the Style variant makes sense to me.
See, as I said in the vid that i20 Asta-O was booked but we picked Slavia as soon as I realised that it’s just 2.50 lac difference than i20. We would drive this car mostly in City & thoroughly trust safety from the sides & rear as per the past track record of Skoda. City didn’t had feel good factor & VX was almost a lac expensive. Honda’s future is little under clouds too. Many such factors play in the mind. However, I definitely agree that City is more VFM.
Can u suggest in terms of reliability and long term usage which car is better Honda city or slavia.Though slavia is good car and skoda provides maintenance package as well but what would be maintenance cost after 6 or 7 years down the line....want a hassle free car engine for 10 years.....bulit quality wise slavia is better but legacy says city has better engine....also in 14 lac I will get automatic city but slavia will be manual...Need your answer as automobile expert not as skoda lover....
I’m missing IR cut windows in my Slavia Style coming from Vento Tsi 2021 . Direct sunlight in intense summers is partially neutralising the ac in the cabin . Any suggestions? Imo Skoda has held it to give it in future minimal upgrades.
Paaji great video One question for you Do you use regular petrol for this car or octane 95 ? Do you feel it makes any difference for regular use ? Thank you

Personal observations:
cons
1. Electrically folding the mirror and the power windows make too much noise.
2.Plastics around the front AC vent flex quite a lot.
3.Golden accent running in the dashboards feels weak and flexible.
4.Suspension noise is too much(when compared to my old car, Nexon)
(even if you cant feel bumps, you can hear it.)
5.the buttons of reading light feels absolutely cheap.
6. rear camera is just ok ok, no guidelines.
pros:
1.Refinement is good for a 3cylinder
2.Performance is nice, once you reach around 2000rpm. Doesnt feel like a 1.0L engine.
3.AC is good for me(better than Nexons)
4.Door thud is good ,better than koreans, but not as good as nexons. (thud in slavia feels more like a 'clunk')

These are fine cars & perhaps segment best for what they offer as per the price. I felt good & hence picked Slavia. This whole quality issue is over exaggerated. Compass is definitely a great car but straight 40% expensive.
@@SunderdeepSingh yes I agree Jeep it's bit 4-5L over priced. I'm not comparing any segments. It's all about VW Skoda strategy of straight forward cost cutting left right center. Why not same cost cutting in Europe. There is no benefit of localisation to end customers.
@@pradeepm.s.6944 VW does not want to reduce their profit margin. Cost cutting from localisation in the form of reduced quality has been compensated by giving more features. I do not fully blame vag for this coz if you look purely at number of Indians giving preference to quality over features is minimal - Caruti fuzuki case in point.
But yea, after seeing the Taigun in person, I got same thoughts that vw decided to compromise on their core values and just cash in on from the so called brand value……. But as compared to competitors, still a great product.
@@Manpreetsingh-ro8vg Manpreet, after test drive i felt like my just exchanged wagonr, i felt it's 9L value car not worth of 22.5L investment.
They would have made profit just with localisation without quality compromise and export from here like my new Jeep compass.
It's double hammer 🔨 to Indians one no cost benefit second quality compromise.
I challenge VW Skoda same product sell it in Germany or any European country.
@@pradeepm.s.6944 The challenge is useless as it is the company’s prerogative what kind of quality they want to offer and in which region , More so when coming from MS owner. Have you ever questioned Suzuki on their build quality and non existent of safety on their cars?
My concern is/was I wanted to see similar level of quality in new vw cars as seen in vento/polo. As compared to competitors, vw is still better.
Also, I challenge Caruti fuzuki to manufacture cars with similar build quality that vw is offering in their new cars in India.
I have not talked about the TSI engine technology, heard any innovation from Suzuki?
Just got style mt in April awesome car I am also from Ludhiana bai Ji will love to meet you love your videos and tips for cars
Sure bud! Anytime
Thanks for this review. Its long awaited. I got average of 18kmpl, for long highway driveway mostly light foot drive at 80 to 100 kmph speed. In second drive, 100 to 120kmph speed, average reduced to 17kmpl. Both are very good. And never had to use S mode... it drives very good in D mode also.
Great!
Did you cruise?
@@Cosplayinghuman yes, used cruise control, mostly at 95.
What's the mileage in city drive, bumper 2 bumper traffic
@@RahulPatil-uq1okin very heavy traffic, about 9.5 , long term or monthly average is about 11.5. It also depends on trip distance. Small trip will give you less average.
Things I love in cars of this price range:
City: Ergonomics, feature distribution, looks, reliability, resale value, good service, 4 airbags standard
Slavia: fresh looks, good ground clearance without body roll, build quality, pure engineering
Verna: pasand nhi hai personally.
Seltos: great looks, various engine and transmissions to choose from, ride quality, interior build quality.
Creta: just one thing-sunroof, otherwise it nothing special
Kushaq: better overall ride than Taigun, love the orange color
Taigun: similarity in looks to Tiguan(my aspirational car), the tail lamps.
things I hate:
City: nvh levels are too high, infotainment quality is ancient, no wireless apple/android auto
Slavia: dhoond raha hu
Verna: doesnt offer the space of a sedan, neither does it handle like the others in class, doesnt offer the best comfort either. back seat space is too bad for a sedan
Seltos: bulletproof safety
Creta: looks bad(TW) and it is too strong(can bear the weight of 3 elephants; I'm jealous cause of that.
Kushaq: dhoond raha hu
Taigun: dhoond raha hu
@@VarunSrinivas Kushaq and Taigun could have been bigger in size
@@jethalalgada5 on that note, the negative is slightly less legroom and bootspace.
@@VarunSrinivas Yes👍🏻 But I think the length also could have been more not Just the wheelbase
Actually i found seltos's ride quality as very stiff and isn't comfortable at all if you are gonna sit in the second row although this helps in the handling aspect of the car
The one and only word for this is: brilliant
Or may be 2 words: simply clever....
🙏❤️🥳
How did you find the response of the brakes of Slavia (32.50) on reasonably high speed - above 50 kmph? I noticed a little lag in the Kodiaq - it takes a while to halt.
Tomorrow I’m getting my Slavia Style AT ❤️ . I own a 2021 Vento Tsi 💕
Congratulations 🥳
Hardwork pays off😁. Very nicdle response on the video 😀🙏🏻
Nice review of this beauty , if possible please make a video on what to remember when driving an automatic car for first time as I feel there is lot of feel diffrence and factors I need to be aware of (like no engine braking etc).
Mileage figures on my 1.0 Taigun manual (tank to tank) with AC at 23 C and fan speed at 3
mix city + highway drive - 17.12 kmpl
city drive only with no bumper to bumper traffic- 14 kmpl
city + highway drive with long traffic jams and bumper to bumper traffic - 12.8 kmpl
Haven't done a purely highway with no traffic and a city bumper to bumper tank to tank check so can't comment on that. But on a recent trip, the MID showed 19.2 kmpl on a fairly busy highway with broken roads with AC on. Previously have got 21 kmpl on good highway without AC as per MID.
looks a very genuine review by a real user..................thanks for sharing
Excellent review paaji.. Very well covered about all the situations that this car will be generally driven. Definitely a very good and balanced product.
One small correction in ur video-
Time stap says why slavia over Virtus at 1:12 but you have spoken on it at 5:25
Your explanation/ review is just like ex ies JASPAL SIR
Kya mast location dhoondha hai tumne Sardar ji 👌
The best part was...."Mujko Laga Lamborghini Urus aah rahe hai fir dekha Spresso hai...No offence please"....Best ho Papaji
Just FYI. POLO's infotainment system supports camera. Just need a camera unit which showrooms can do for free
They didn’t agree for this
Mujhe yeh car bhut psand h but kuch log ne bola isse accha city lelo sem h isme kuch khas nhi h but sardar ji apki baat se sahmat hu bhut cungusd thi mujhe ye hi leni h thanks better rewue k liye ❤️
🙏🙏
Yeh Skoda Ney mujhe de hain........ Awesome
Paaji hyundai/XUV700 are giving vw/skoda horns and vw/skoda apne basics bhool gaye h.. I'm waiting for an update in which they bring back the OG horn, all 4 auto power windows with antipinch and key roll up down feature. I can't imagine a VW/skoda without these. I think they should listen to their customers.
Nice shots paaji
I hope ki ab so called auto reviewers ko thodi akal aaye jo apne review me sirf ye baat bolte hai ki this is not top quality ,this is not vw quality.
They don't a speak a single word about quality when they review other brands cars
1.0 tsi torque conveter is more fuel efficient than 1.0 tsi manual actually but 1.5 dsg is more than 1.0 toq convt
@@Devil-pk7hi hnji i know brother
Sir...Currently driving VW vento 1.5 TDI..Confused between Slavia Ambition...CITY VX and Virtus...Road presence and driving pleasure is preference....I love my Vento its too fun...just that it has got old :(
Thanks a lot paaji....... Practical review and such a brilliant car..... Well engineered or shall I say German Engineered....... Weve to see how it will hold it's basics over the time for which VW & Skoda are famous for✌️
When turbo gets kick in Volkswagen cars become beast
I think your Camera lens has oily stain or maybe fingerprint. That's the reason why white looked fussy with glare & lack of contrast in the image.
Liked your overall VDO on Slavia. Should have restricted to under 30 minutes.
Keep it up. Great job. 👌👍👏👏👏
May be, I also felt that. Thanks
All you have to do is keep a used or discarded banian cloth piece. After hundreds of wash it becomes lint free at the same time it's 100% cotton. It the Best oil & moisture absorbent material. Keep it in your Camera bag & just wipe in a circular motion start from the centre to the outer most edge. Your job is done. If stains are rigid moist the little edge or corner of the cloth with very mild liquid soap water (90% water - 10% liquid soap) Again clean with dry cloth. You are done.

Yes. Even I thought the same. Better to ensure lens is cleaned prior shoot
Thank you bro, such a clean review !!!
Thanks
very soon you will hit 1 million utube subscriber family big brother.
And i always hear your thoughts on cars safety।
Confused between Virtus and Slavia, what would you suggest is better? (watched the video, couldn't understand why this over virtus. can you please mention some points which is better?)
The old platform was called PQ25 platform.
Lack of a diesel engine is still refraining me from considering any VAGs as of now. For my needs and requirements everything is present apart from a diesel engine. Fuel efficiency is a major factor for my driving and due to that i will choose Verna over any other sedans at this price point because of it being powerful, torquey and at the same time extremely fuel efficient.
Verna SX-O Diesel, go for it.
Yes. Don't understand VW group thought process.
Best review kuch bacha hi ni 🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful location 👏🏻👏🏻
hands down this was the best video done by you sir small changes in video makes a big diffrence and it is the best true review of slavia anyone can find on youtube very detailed and direct on point keep growing 🙌 best wishes
Thanks a million Brother ❤️
Bro, your videos are really a personal feedback like a close buddy talking to me & feel like we are drivingtogether...Good effort to share so much info..
Just a question we can get the horn retrofit outside for a traditional Skoda horn
Hey Bro! Yes we can
Thanks....I hope the warranty will not void due to this retrofit....
Regular viewer of your informative videos. Liked the seat covers. Bucket fitting done by Skoda service center?
Hi! Yes but I feel sad that stock seats were torn off
Sir hybrid ka samajh mein aaya lekin baaki gaadiyon ka kum se kum ek saal ya 10 k kms ke baad review zyaada achha rahega. Gaadi aur service ki sachhai pata lagne ke liye
Superb review as expected always 👍 kudos 🎉

Slavia 1.5 tsi style or xuv700 ax5 diesel 5str manual? Which is value for money? Please reply
Sir i am planning to buy skoda slavia 1•5L but i have concern. about some of the things :
1)DSG gear box reliability issue
2) seating comfort
Can uh please tell me about this things !
Seating comfort is already mentioned in the video ? DQ200 DSG gearbox will fail someday if not kept properly. I have seen people whose DSG gearbox haven't failed even after 8-9 years and 1lac plus kms but they might be just lucky or take great care of their gearbox like shift it to N or P within 3-4 sec as the car comes to a halt to prevent overheating of gearbox or avoid it in bumper to bumper traffic often. I think you should buy the DQ200 DSG only if -
1) You're not going to use the car in conditions that will heat up the gearbox often or take good care to protect it
2) Going to sell the car in 5 years
3) Are mentally prepared for on an average 2 breakdowns in a span of 10 years (one breakdown under warranty and one from your pocket).
Thanks for the video!
Question: Do you feel a slight lag in D mode when starting off from a stop? Creep function was ok, but pushing the pedal lightly I found a little reluctance before the speed picking up. Is it a TSI engine thing? (Found this issue with no load)
Yes but it is not there in S mode
@@SunderdeepSingh yes you are right much better in S mode 👍 thanks! Looks like D shifts up gears too soon exposing the turbo lag?
Booked my Slavia today 🍻
The creep issue is not apparent in 1.5 MT but is present it 1.5 AT so that’s surely is a problem with the automatic models.
But there strategy to charge a premium on vw products than Skoda is beyond my understanding. I hope they don't make this mistake with the upcoming virtus. There shouldn't be sea diff in pricing when both the cars are essentially the same. Don't know why vw line up is ranked above or has been provided a more aspirational value than Skoda.
hello sir I m your fan
please make a review about ground clearance
I thik in India people dont buy verna /city
kyuke ve niche se lagti hain
mein gaon mein rhta hu to mujhe kya vitus leni chiye
kyuke
jeep campass ka or iska ground clearance same hai isse phle mein jeep campass soch rha tha
please suggest
Go for Compass if budget allows, far better product.
sir you replied my qustn
so hmble u r
pls make a vdio about ur car ground clearnc
Very nice video paaji. How is the performance of this engine on hills fully loaded ( 5 pax + full boot)? I am hoping it would be very good, but just want to hear your practical experience if any.
Thumbnail picture ❤❤
super review bai...🙏🙏🙏
Paa ji . Two things I’m missing in my Slavia Style are 1. IR cut windows ( Cabin is not as cool as Vento )
2. German horn ( As you said I can get it aftermarket)
Also the thud of Vento is stronger
The looks are great giving BMW like feel
Wonderful review sirji …..I’m confused between city and slavia …. As many tell city has peace of mind ownership
1.5 MT Slavia, 6 years warranty. No better combination
Wah so nice to see 53000 views in month. Now video watching starts😃
Thanks
Great review Sunder bro👍🏻
Paaji I own a Kushaq 1.0 Style AT and have one doubt. Can we change the gears using the paddle shifter while keeping our foot down or should we release the throttle while changing the gears using paddle shifter.
Great video by the way. Cheers
Should release the throttle to let computer understand our command :)
@@SunderdeepSingh Thanks 🙏
ECU
Please compare to real time Slavia mileage vs T-roc mileage 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ambition varient me headlight top mdoel waali dete to haal le leta, bhut sochna pad rha hai sirf headlight ki wajah se.
Headlight ki wajah se top model hi lena pdega
Body accha bana hai bhai ka. 🦾
Shukriya Sir
Very honest review sir. 🙏🙏🙏
Honest ownership review 👌
@Sunderdeep singh I have purchased Taigun 1.0 AT topline.. I did the test drive and loved both D and sport mode and immediately booked it.. I am now the owner of it..
After looking at the reviews of 1.0 and 1.5 tsi engines..I feel like on hill areas (where I will go once in 2 months) with 5 passengers and luggage 1.0 taigun may struggle.. my question is.. in such situations will sport mode be the saviour?
They should have given proper drl's in ambition too. Kushaq ambition has same drl's as style. Not in case of slavia
I agree, These look kinda very cheap tbh
Please review the 1.5 manual
Hello Sunderdeep ji kaise hai aap, pls define why VW engine in 01L Turbo segment 3 cylinder is more powerful than other 3 cylinder 1200cc Turbo engine in Indian market whether in performance as well as in BHP and torque condition
Did you observe the headlights performance of Ambition Variant? Because Rapid had a poor headlights.
This has a good throw
Hello Surderdeep ji I am one of your follower. I have Skoda slavia style automatic turbo 1.0I just saw one of your on CZcams regarding creep mode problem have you get any solution for that?
Paji... Great Video.. 🙌👍👍 As first attempt 100/100. 💯🔥
I was underestimating White color of #Slavia, but In white also #Slavia looks #Killer. Your efforts are very evident and we all appreciate that. I personally like the fact even being #VW #Skoda lover, You openly spoke about whatever are the negatives of car. So you maintained #Honest #Reviewer title.. kudos.
While driving , for video capturing.. I will suggest for next video , you can buy that same Head Strap Camera which #faisal wears, it will be safer and you can show us also your badass driving skills like #Faisal #Khan. 😛😛 Waiting for a drag race video.. you know which one.. 😛😛🙏🙏🙏 great work paji...way ..way..long way to go. 🤍🤍
Thanks Brother. I do have a headstrap but my DJI OSMO doesn’t have ultra wide 180% degree camera like in GoPro. I need to see if a shoulder strap can solve the issue.
@@SunderdeepSingh - And Paji We Want Drag Race Video 📸 ..Please 🙏🙏 Plan for that too. 😛
Wah paaji great video …
Paaji how can I contact u ? I m from Chandigarh, really confused between virtue or slavia
Hi , Which is the best car under 25 lakhs
Wanted to purchase troc , but discontinued for now
Xuv700:high waiting period , more than a year
Taigun / kushaq : cramped rear seats for a 6 feet + height person
Honda city : no sedan at least + not so great build
Innova : expensive and no value for money
Tiguan : out of budget
Harrier/safari : overdone looks and below avg fit and finish interior doesn’t seem to be well made , lots of panel gaps , and that pathetic touchscreen😡
Options shortlisted : Jeep Compass limited petrol AT (fun to drive factor missing + rear seat comfort), mg hector sharp cvt (long term reliability+that donkey ,Chinese car image ), Hyundai Tucson(not interested for Hyundai as upgrading from a Honda car)
Hence , no perfect car under 25-27 lakhs budget 🥲 , no skoda Octavia (low headroom +not a proper family car)
Will go for asking the price quotation for superb/Tiguan ,if they give me some discount , ready to pay if comes under 32 lacs after discounts
I would prefer Compass if budget allows or 1.5 Virtus DSG
Brother ajkal i20 ,verna m rapid jse horn aa rha h
Kindly do a Night review and I got disappointed by tyre noise in cabin please elaborate I am planning to buy slavia 1.5 tsi currently they are not giving any test drive of it so if suspension are same in both I may have to reconsider
thanks.
Great feedback 👏👏
great video, very detailed! 👍
Just one query, you have been a big proponent of safety so I am not able to digest the fact that you bought a 15 lac car which is offering just 2 airbags (compared to City VX CVT which offers 6 and costs around 40k more with other added features). I understand you and your wife did not like the City but then there were other options in the market hatchbacks or CSUVs which would offer more airbags as well as proven safety ratings.
Yes the Slavia offers a great package but at this price point one expects to get all safety features, given the fact that this platform has still not been tested by GNCAP.
Honestly, Skoda has vastly underspecced the Active and Ambition variants on both Kushaq and Slavia and don't offer a better VFM product as compared to competitors. Only the Style variant makes sense to me.
See, as I said in the vid that i20 Asta-O was booked but we picked Slavia as soon as I realised that it’s just 2.50 lac difference than i20. We would drive this car mostly in City & thoroughly trust safety from the sides & rear as per the past track record of Skoda.
City didn’t had feel good factor & VX was almost a lac expensive. Honda’s future is little under clouds too. Many such factors play in the mind. However, I definitely agree that City is more VFM.
Can u suggest in terms of reliability and long term usage which car is better Honda city or slavia.Though slavia is good car and skoda provides maintenance package as well but what would be maintenance cost after 6 or 7 years down the line....want a hassle free car engine for 10 years.....bulit quality wise slavia is better but legacy says city has better engine....also in 14 lac I will get automatic city but slavia will be manual...Need your answer as automobile expert not as skoda lover....
Oye hoye sir finally !
Sir 110 rupee ka xp95 kaise afford kare !! .. love my 1.0 tsi rapid
46:55 Haha😂 lagta hai ab intezaar khatam hone wala hai😌😂 Btw should I send my question again for the QnA??
Great review sir..
I’m missing IR cut windows in my Slavia Style coming from Vento Tsi 2021 . Direct sunlight in intense summers is partially neutralising the ac in the cabin .
Any suggestions?
Imo Skoda has held it to give it in future minimal upgrades.
tint the windows
Great review bro..
Paaji great video
One question for you
Do you use regular petrol for this car or octane 95 ?
Do you feel it makes any difference for regular use ? Thank you
Yes I prefer XP95, Engine definitely sound better and I feel peace of mind as 95 Octane is recommended.
44:58 Because this is torque converter and troc has dsg
Yup
Good review
