The Skoda Slavia, the Czech automaker’s latest compact sedan, will hit the Indian roads from Manipal in July 2026 at an on‑road price of ₹12.15 lakh.
\nPriced below Skoda’s flagship Octavia, the Slavia is positioned to compete with brands like Hyundai i20 and Toyota Corolla Altis, featuring a 1.5‑liter TSI engine and eye‑catching LED headlights. The modest price drop follows the launch of a “Special Edition” trim and the company’s decision to reduce import duties on AMD‑based chassis.
\nFor buyers in Udupi district, the new price point means a premium European warranty and service network are now within reach of a broader segment, potentially boosting local dealer footfall. Source: Google News – Manipal.
