The Skoda Slavia, one of the Czech brand’s most popular midsize sedans in India, has received a variant-wise price revision with increases of up to approximately ₹34,000 on select models in the Indian market. This update reflects cost adjustments made by Skoda Auto India and affects multiple trims of the Slavia range.
Overview of the Price Hike
Skoda Auto India has revised the ex-showroom prices for the Slavia sedan in the January 2026 update. While the base and some manual variants have remained at their earlier price points, most higher-end automatic and mid-spec versions have become costlier by amounts ranging from around ₹16,000 to ₹34,000 depending on the variant.
The highest price increase is seen on the Monte Carlo 1.0-litre automatic variant, which has gone up by around ₹34,000. Other variants including the Prestige and Sportline trims with automatic gearboxes have seen hikes from roughly ₹23,000 to ₹29,000. Mid-level Signature and Sportline versions with manual or automatic gearboxes have also been adjusted higher by around ₹16,000 to ₹17,000.
Updated Ex-Showroom Price Range
After this revision:
- The Slavia’s price range in India is approximately from ₹10 lakh to ₹17.99 lakh (ex-showroom) across the lineup.
Here’s a snapshot of how the hikes impact different variants:
| Variant | Price Hike (Approx) |
|---|---|
| Monte Carlo 1.0 AT | ₹34,000 |
| Prestige 1.0 AT | ₹28,000 |
| Monte Carlo 1.5 DSG | ₹29,000 |
| Sportline 1.5 DSG | ₹26,000 |
| Prestige 1.5 DSG | ₹23,000 |
| Signature 1.0 MT/AT | ₹16,000 |
| Sportline 1.0 MT/AT | ₹16,000–17,000 |
| Classic 1.0 MT | No change |
Why Did Prices Go Up?
Skoda, like many automakers, periodically adjusts prices due to factors such as rising input costs, changes in taxation, and supply chain expenses. While Skoda recently passed on GST (Goods and Services Tax) reductions to customers in 2025, which had earlier resulted in some models dropping in price, this latest revision reflects fresh cost calibration across its lineup including the Slavia.
What This Means for Buyers
For prospective Slavia buyers, the price hike means:
- Higher Ex-Showroom Costs: Automatic and higher-trim variants are now sticker-priced higher than before.
- Stable Base Price for Entry-Level Variant: The entry-level 1.0 TSI Classic with manual gearbox remains at its previously listed price, helping keep the entry point unchanged.
Buyers should also note that prices do not include on-road costs (registration, insurance, taxes), which vary by city. Off-ers and seasonal discounts (like those seen in 2025) may still be available at dealerships and can affect final on-road pricing.
