The latest teaser reveals a sharper appearance with revised LED tail lamps showcasing a geometric pattern. The front fascia will also see updates, including redesigned headlamps and revised fog lamp housings. The new alloy wheels feature a dual-tone multi-spoke design, differentiating it from the outgoing model.
Inside, the Slavia is expected to retain its existing dashboard layout but will introduce new upholstery and a larger 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. Mechanically, it will continue with the 1.0-litre TSI and 1.5-litre TSI turbo-petrol engines, with the former possibly receiving a new eight-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.3
The facelift arrives four years after the sedan's initial launch in India, and while the price is expected to increase slightly from the current range of Rs 9.99 lakh to Rs 18.19 lakh, it will continue to compete with rivals like the Hyundai Verna and Honda City.
More details, including the complete variant-wise feature list, will be revealed at the launch on August 18.
“The facelift is expected to retain the 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines, with the 1.0-litre possibly gaining a new 8-speed torque converter automatic. It will also likely borrow the Kushaq's 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, while pricing is expected to start slightly above the current Rs 9.99 lakh.”
