Most of the design details of the new Skoda Slavia facelift were covered by heavy camouflage, except for the C-shaped taillamps and revised rear bumper. The sedan is likely to receive a few cosmetic updates at the front end, such as a slightly tweaked grille, bumper, and headlamps. The side profile might remain largely unchanged. No changes will be made to its dimensions. The updated Slavia will continue to be one of the largest vehicles in its segment. Its pre-facelift version measures 4541mm in length, 1752mm in width, and 1507mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2651mm. Its ground clearance stands at 179mm.

Under the hood, the new Skoda Slavia facelift will feature the existing 1.0L, 3-cylinder TSI, and 1.5L, 4-cylinder TSI petrol engines. While the former delivers a claimed power of 115bhp and 175Nm of torque, the latter is good for 150bhp and 250Nm. Both manual (6-speed) and automatic (6-speed torque converter and 7-speed DCT) gearboxes will be on offer.
