The second production model after the Kushaq from the India 2.0 project spearheaded by Skoda Auto India will go by the name of Slavia .The new premium mid-size sedan for the A0 segment was named keeping in mind the early days of Skoda Auto.
Starting in 1896, one year after the founding of the company, Václav Laurin and Václav Klement successfully marketed their first, jointly developed bicycles under the Slavia name.The upcoming Skoda Slavia will once again set out to define a new era in the Indian market. The new sedan will be presented later this year and will complement the Octavia and Superb sedans in India.
Zac Hollis, Brand Director, Skoda Auto India, says, “Skoda has a rich global legacy spanning more than 125 years. The Slavia name represents the beginning of a success story that has seen Skoda become one of the most renowned car makers. Rich in tradition, the Slavia name will now once again mark the start of a new era for the Skoda brand, in the Indian market. The Slavia will bring forth impeccable build quality, reliability and driving experience. We look forward to substantially growing our volumes in India and the Slavia will play a key role in delivering this objective.”
After the Kushaq introduction earlier this year, the Skoda Slavia is the Czech manufacturer’s second new model developed specifically for the Indian market.
