The 2026 Skoda Slavia facelift has made its debut in India with updates to its design, features and powertrain. The refreshed sedan continues with the existing engine options while gaining several new features, including massaging rear seats, a 360-degree camera and powered and ventilated front seats.
Skoda will offer the updated Slavia in six variants, giving buyers several equipment and styling choices. The facelift also introduces two new exterior colours, although one of them will be available for delivery only later in 2026.
Variants
The facelifted Skoda Slavia will be available in six variants: Classic, Classic+, Signature, Sportline, Prestige and Monte Carlo.
The Monte Carlo will sit at the top of the range and will be the only variant offered with a dual-tone exterior finish.
This variant structure gives the Slavia a mix of practical and premium options, allowing buyers to choose between a simpler configuration and a more feature-rich version.
Colours
Skoda has added two new paint options to the Slavia lineup. These are Arctic Silver and Cappucino Beige.
The complete colour range includes:
| Colour | Availability |
|---|---|
| Arctic Silver | Available |
| Cappucino Beige | Deliveries from December 2026 |
| Shimla Green | Available |
| Brilliant Silver | Available |
| Candy White | Available |
| Carbon Steel | Available |
| Steel Grey | Available |
| Lava Blue | Available |
| Deep Black | Available |
| Cherry Red | Available |
Cappucino Beige is the exception, with deliveries of cars in this colour scheduled to begin only in December 2026.
Features
The Slavia facelift receives several equipment upgrades aimed at improving comfort and convenience.
One of the notable additions is massaging rear seats, which Skoda describes as a segment-first feature. This could make the rear cabin more appealing to buyers who frequently use the sedan with passengers in the back.
Other additions include a 360-degree camera and ventilated and powered front seats. These features are typically associated with higher-end versions of sedans and add to the Slavia’s technology and comfort package.
The exact feature availability varies by variant, so buyers will need to select the appropriate trim for specific equipment.
Engines
The updated Slavia continues with two turbo-petrol engine options.
The entry-level engine is a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol unit producing 114bhp and 178Nm of torque. It continues to be offered with a six-speed manual transmission.
The automatic option has been updated. The previous six-speed torque converter automatic makes way for a new eight-speed transmission.
The second engine is a 1.5-litre TSI petrol unit that produces 148bhp and 250Nm. It sends power to the front wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
This means the facelift retains the existing engine lineup while making an important change to the automatic transmission paired with the 1.0-litre engine.
Lineup
The six-variant range gives the 2026 Slavia a broad spread of choices. Classic and Classic+ are positioned toward the entry end, while Signature and Sportline provide additional equipment and styling options.
Prestige sits higher in the lineup, with Monte Carlo serving as the flagship variant.
The availability of features such as a 360-degree camera, powered and ventilated front seats and massaging rear seats should make the upper variants particularly relevant for buyers looking for additional cabin comfort.
Powertrain
Skoda has retained the front-wheel-drive layout across the engine range.
The 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine continues with a six-speed manual, while its automatic version receives an eight-speed transmission. The larger 1.5-litre TSI remains paired with a seven-speed DCT.
With the facelift, Skoda has therefore focused on updating the equipment and transmission offering rather than introducing a completely new engine family.
The 2026 Skoda Slavia facelift expands the sedan’s appeal with six variants, two new exterior colours and a longer list of comfort and technology features. The massaging rear seats, 360-degree camera and ventilated and powered front seats add to the equipment package, while the new eight-speed automatic brings a change to the 1.0-litre powertrain. Buyers will have ten colour choices overall, although Cappucino Beige deliveries are scheduled to begin in December 2026. The 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines continue to provide the main powertrain options.
