The 1.0-litre TSI engine in the Slavia can churn up power up to 113 bhp and a peak torque of 175 Nm. The more powerful 1.5-litre TSI model of Slavia puts out 150 hp and offers a generous 250 Nm of torque. This makes it the most powerful petrol mid-size sedan in the country at the moment. Skoda claims that the car can hit 100 kmph in under 10 seconds while still offering a mileage of a little over 18 kms per litre.
Slavia and the Kushaq SUV has been instrumental behind Skoda's recent spike in sales. In March, Skoda sold 5,608 units, nearly six times more compared to March last year when it sold just 1,159 units. Skoda also registered its highest-ever quarterly sales with 13,120 units sold since January this year.
Slavia goes up against its rivals like the Honda City, Hyundai Verna and Maruti Suzuki Ciaz. However, competition for Slavia is all set to get a bit tougher in a few weeks time when a new rival in form of Volkswagen Virtus is launched.
