Engine Displacement: 999 cc / 1,498 cc
The Skoda Slavia is powered by two robust TSI petrol engines. The 1.0L 3-cylinder TSI is a masterclass in downsizing, offering surprising pep for its size. For those seeking true executive performance, the 1.5L 4-cylinder TSI EVO engine features Active Cylinder Technology (ACT), which enhances fuel efficiency by deactivating two cylinders during steady cruising.
Max Power: 114 bhp / 148 bhp
The 1.0L TSI delivers a punchy 114 bhp, ensuring the Slavia never feels underpowered in city traffic. The 1.5L TSI pushes this further to 148 bhp (150 PS), making it one of the most powerful sedans in its segment and providing a distinctly sporty driving character.
Max Torque: 178 Nm / 250 Nm
Torque is where the Slavia truly shines. The 1.0L engine produces 178 Nm from as low as 1,750 RPM, while the 1.5L unit delivers a massive 250 Nm. This allows for effortless overtakes and a strong pull even when the car is fully loaded.
No. of Cylinders: 3 / 4
The 1.0L TSI utilizes a lightweight 3-cylinder configuration optimized for efficiency and low-end response. The 1.5L TSI moves to a 4-cylinder layout, offering inherently better balance, smoother idling, and more refined high-speed performance.
Valve Train: DOHC
Both engines utilize a Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) system with 4 valves per cylinder. This setup allows for precise control over valve timing, optimizing the air-intake and exhaust cycles for peak performance across the RPM range.
Fuel System: GDI (Direct Injection)
The Slavia uses Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) technology. By injecting fuel at high pressure directly into the combustion chamber, the system ensures a more precise fuel-air mixture, resulting in higher power output and reduced emissions.
0-100 km/h Time: 8.96 Seconds (1.5 TSI)
The Slavia 1.5 TSI DSG is a performance benchmark, clocking a 0-100 km/h sprint in just 8.96 seconds. The 1.0 TSI is no slouch either, completing the same run in approximately 10.7 seconds, making both variants faster than many of their naturally aspirated rivals.
Top Speed: 190 km/h - 202 km/h
The Slavia 1.0 TSI can reach a top speed of 190 km/h, while the more powerful 1.5 TSI variant is capable of exceeding 200 km/h. At these speeds, the aerodynamic sedan remains incredibly planted and stable.
