Skoda Slavia Facelift 1.5 TSI DSG Review: Sharper, Smarter, Still Fun
Vahnam Team · 8 October 2026
Skoda Slavia facelift adds new styling, a 10.1-inch screen, 360° camera and rear-seat massage. The 1.5 TSI DSG remains the pick.
The Skoda Slavia facelift adds sharper styling and more features while keeping its driver-focused character. Updates include new LED headlamps and tail-lamps, 16-inch alloys, a 10.25-inch digital cluster, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, a 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats and a rear-seat massage function. The 1.5 TSI makes around 150PS and 250Nm with a 7-speed DSG, and it is quick on the highway, with cylinder deactivation for better efficiency. The ride is comfortable and stable, and ground clearance is about 179mm. The only drawback is that there is no manual option with the 1.5 TSI.
Vahnam Verdict: An evolution, not a reinvention, and the 1.5 TSI DSG remains a strong pick for buyers who want a fun petrol sedan that is also comfortable every day.
