THE NEW ŠKODA SLAVIA SEDAN IS BASED ON the MQB-A0-IN platform designed specifically for the Indian market as well as sold and manufactured in India. The model’s name, “Slavia”, refers to the beginnings of the Škoda firm. The company’s founders, Václav Laurin and Václav Klement, began selling bicycles of their own design under this brand in 1896 and the name was later used on the company’s first motorcycles. As a result, Škoda selected the “Slavia” name for India by way of a reference to the company’s long heritage while also signalling a new beginning in this region.
Škoda intend to continue this trend with the Slavia, which builds on the history of the Octavia, which became a benchmark
