Speaking on the occasion, Zac Hollis, Brand Director, Skoda Auto India, said, “The Slavia is the second jewel for Skoda Auto India under the 2.0 project. This sedan will strengthen our position in this dynamic market, and also re-energise and revive the premium mid-size sedan segment. With the Slavia, we are confident of putting the love back into sedans. This gorgeous car is now just one step away from our customers.
