I found the Slavia’s boot space to be much larger than that of the Skoda Kushaq.
BHPian Kashi053 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
Been to the HSR Skoda showroom. They have blue and carbon steel color Slavia on display.
Some observations
- The seat cover looks and feels aftermarket. Didn’t like 2 tone seat cover. Quality is similar to the Kushaq one and looked better than Kushaq’s seat color.
- The roof liner is beige and of better quality than Kushaq.
- Didn’t like the instrument cluster. Would prefer VW classic analog dials over this.
- Boot is big. Verified Kushaq and Slavia boot back to back and Slavia has a 1.5 times bigger boot. But the materials used and finishing is not up to the mark. Compare Octavia and Slavia boot linings and you’ll feel a huge difference. Pics are attached below.
- Rear seat is very spacious for 2 adults with a liberal knee room. Under thigh support is good.
- Tyres are 205/55 R16 Ceat SecureDrive. Alloys are beautiful.
- Door closing sound and heft comparable to Kushaq. But Octavia’s door feels heavier.
- Steering is tilt/telescopic and has good range. You’ll find a good driving position quickly. Seat height range is also good.
- Couldn’t find much improvement in quality over Kushaq. Almost both have similar quality materials and fit/finish.
- Had high expectations on Carbon steel color exterior look. But it looked average to me. Still confused about which color suits best on Slavia.
