The reviews behind 3.0

I feel doing 100000 kms in a petrol car is itself an achievement. People say skoda vw are not reliable but if you maintain them well they last damn long.

Amazing car to own - back seat is upright so we use the cushions which helps a little - tyre pressure 33 when travelling with 2 and 35 in the front and 38 in the back when fully loaded. Helps with better mileage and comfort as well - AC is a concern and it takes time to cool the cabin. Keep it at 22 and blow the air at max for sometime - we’ve been through a lot of road trips of about 2400 twice and 1800 twice and it does very well with the ground clearance - steering rack has issues and got it replaced recently under warranty - don’t go for the Slavia if you are concerned about mileage. Have driven in bumper to bumper traffic at 4kms per ltr and have also achieved 20 on roads with less traffic - Amazing driving experience and high speed stability when fully loaded - TIP for mileage is to drive the car without AC on until you achieve a 10 min. If you start the car with the AC in tight traffic it will drink the fuel like a 10 inch pipe

Performance,control and style,you have everything you need... It's my most favourite car my eyes light up when I see it, the presence of car is awesome and yes reliability by skoda, the car performance is best in segment and loved the cabin it's just perfect, great product by skoda loved it.

Gorgeous Sedan. A great-looking car, turns heads (1.0l TSI AT, TC). The lava blue colour on the Slavia is what stands out. Compliments on the looks are now regular. Buying purchase was very pleasant, bought it from Safdarjung, New Delhi. Have driven it for 5500+km, no major issues (other than a puncture due to a loose screw). Servicing after the first year was also a breeze (Pick up and drop). Had no expenses since I had taken the 3-year service package. The 2-spoke steering wheel is my favourite. Gives you the freedom to hold the steering any way you want to! The steering wheel is also very light to steer, making it effortless. Boot space is humongous. Enough for a family of 4. AC feels fine, I have just left it at 22C. Ventilated seats are an advantage during humid conditions. Cons: This car is long. Won't fit in smaller spaces. In lower gears, turbo lag is significant, especially after braking.

When comparing any Turbo engine TSI/GDI with a NA (Naturally Aspirated) engine, the "life" or longevity of the engine is often a tug-of-war between modern efficiency and old-school simplicity. While both are designed to last well over 150,000 to 200,000 km with proper care, their aging processes differ significantly. Longevity & Reliability: NA (The Marathon Runner): Generally considered more reliable for the "long haul" (15+ years). Because it lacks a turbocharger, it operates at lower internal pressures and temperatures. There are fewer moving parts to fail, and it isn't "stressed" to produce power.  Turbo TSI/GDI (The Sprinter): These are highly engineered to be "power-dense." While modern TSIs use forged internals and polymer coatings to handle the extra stress, the turbocharger itself is a wear-and-tear item that may need replacement or repair around the 1.2 to 1.5 lakh km mark.

A Sedan That Feels Premium, Drives Powerful, and Stays Reliable. This car delivers a premium and luxurious driving experience that often reminds people of high-end brands like BMW. Being a German-engineered vehicle, it reflects strong build quality, precise handling, and a refined design philosophy. The exterior looks elegant and sporty at the same time, while the interior feels well-crafted with high-quality materials, giving the cabin a true luxury feel in its segment. Under the hood, the 1.5-litre engine is one of the biggest highlights. It offers smooth power delivery, strong performance, and excellent reliability, making the car suitable for both city driving and long highway journeys. The engine is responsive yet efficient, providing a balanced combination of performance and fuel economy. Gear shifts are smooth, and overall driving comfort is impressive, even on rough Indian roads. The car also benefits from solid German engineering backed by Škoda and its parent company, the Volkswagen Group, which adds trust and long-term reliability. Advanced safety features, stable handling, and comfortable seating further enhance the ownership experience. Overall, this car is an excellent choice for buyers who want luxury, performance, and reliability in one stylish package, without stepping into the ultra-premium price range.

If i can afford to maintain and run a car i would every day of the week buy a used Honda or Skoda from late 2000s spend some money get the rubber, seal, gaskets, radiator hoses, thermostat all changed as they cost nothing major. Get the Front and rear suspension overhauled. A good buff of the paint, get the interior done and boom i have a fun to drive reliable car for next 5 years minimum and i can get it serviced outside so very low running cost overall. Eg. A decent condition Honda Civic will cost you 2.5 lakhs, add 1 lakh for all the overhaul and 50K for paper work and miscellaneous and in 4 lakh you have a pretty decent setup.

Sir please check the infotainment system version If its 1800 all android apple phones should work I had issued with ny samsung ultra After i updated it to 1800 No issues

I own the red version 1.5MT top model - what a car man having driven, this for last 2 years - no problems at all .. Touchwood. Smooth powerful and fast - just that build quality I feel is better in Virtus (may be)

Overall Good To Consider For Family. Overall a good car to buy good mileage. I have brought it on diwali 2025 enjoyed till now the ride comfortable and reliable for long rides can take on highways and long ride as safety ratings are good and also liked the features in it. Mileage is also good for city drive overall best in this price range.

I,ve Honda City Since 10 yrs Driven 1 Lakh km, No issue yet, Only Normal service

Great video! I had the same issue with the pixel, lots of connectivity problems and random reboots and black screen issue with the 8inch system. Changed to Samsung S25Ultra, issues went away for a while and then started again. Got the music system replaced under warranty and it's been good so far. Its an outdated system. Planning to upgrade to the latest system from the facelift shortly.

A driver's delight. The service quality has never been compromised by Skoda, however, the service cost has always been a concern.Could have been a bit more affordable in terms of parts? Overall a full package this car provides but the resale value is a concern and also the buyer should be very concerned about the maintenance because it should be time timely even a few 100 of kilometres should not be raised otherwise it could have some problems. These are little concerns with owning this car, however, this car lacks nothing everything is there the performance the comfort,its stable its fast, it's stylish.

Getting a mileage below 7 in cities, rattling sound from left side front door.first year servicing cost INR 10200.00 (I said no to their ‘package’). Anyone with the same issues?

There is no such thing in city driving. Car is absolutely comfortable and smooth but after E20 every car is giving trouble. Problem is with petrol and not with car.

There are known issues in DQ200 but still this group is still not changing this. VW has history of cheating in emission norms and deviation were huge

Great performance, needs to add more features to the base variant. 1. Driving Experience: This car drives like a sports car. The moment you revv the car, you see how powerful and refined the engine is. The pick-up is quick and you feel how good it is when you need to overtake or accelerate after a traffic jam. It’s almost instantaneous. I drove the 1.0-litre mid variant and it didn’t feel like a 1.0-litre engine at all, it was more powerful than competitors like Verna and Honda City. 2. Looks: The car’s exteriors look extremely premium and pose a striking resemblance to the BMW gran coupe m sport, especially the lava blue variant. The dual-tone interior also feels posh and the plastics don’t look cheap. Glossy finishes here and there around the cabin make the car look good. However, competitors like Verna are now offering LED profile lights near the dashboard which replicate the look of luxury cars, and can be a feature Skoda can add in the upcoming facelift in 2025. 3. Comfort and safety: The cabin is very spacious and can easily seat 5 people. The seats are well cushioned and you feel how important it is over longer drives. There are no cabin noises, apart from the AC, which is quite noisy and ineffective for the Indian summers. Competitors like Verna, Honda City and Ciaz are offering ventilated seats, front and rear armrests and rear AC vents from the base variants itself now which is a feature Skoda can add in upcoming base variants. The car feels very safe, the built quality feels sturdy and the suspension is amazing. It also enjoys a 5-star NCAP rating so safety is guaranteed. 4. Pricing and features: The base variant of the car, although lucratively priced, has nearly no features compared to competitors (rear AC vents, armrests) and even lacks critical safety features such as hill hold assist, and rear parking camera. For someone looking to have a hill hold assist and rear parking camera, they will have to shell out an extra 3-4 lacs because the next variant is pretty expensive. Skoda should come up with a value/comfort variant with an ESP around 11.69 lacs (between the base and mid) that offers these safety and comfort features: rear parking camera, rear AC vents, front armrest, hill hold assist, brake assist, ventilated seats. This would cater well to buyers that have a budget of 12-13 lacs, since not everyone can afford a mid variant at 15 lacs and not everyone wants alloy wheels for a premium of 3 lacs. 5. Maintenance: Expect a maintenance fee of around 8-10k per service, although the service experience is good and reliable. The car may run into issues with the AC and brake paddles (depending on your driving). But regular maintenance will avoid any major expenses/surprises. Pros and cons: Pros: All in all Slavia is a very promising car, with killer looks and a peppy engine. Cons: Some work on introducing critical features in the base variant and introducing a variant between the base and the mid variant that at least offers what competitors are offering right from the base variant would really make too good a car to ignore. Fuel efficiency, AC inefficiency, expensive parts and maintenance are some other sore points.

The car drives well. The buying experience was great, and the car drives well too. We love the looks, and we have the crystal blue color, which is fantastic! Servicing is straightforward and easy to maintain. We encountered some issues related to the ESC, but they got fixed quickly. It is very comfortable and tackles bad roads with ease, thanks to the high ground clearance compared to other sedans.

April mai slavia sportline 1.0L buy ki hai and log bolte hai under power to aesa kuch hai hi nai bas 1300 rpm tak tume thodi dead lagegi but after 1300 rpm pagal ho jaati and ac issues ki baat to not much isuue hai dusro se kam cooling hai but driving dynamics and the confidence bbohat bohat achhi hai

A 1.5 TSI Kushaq owner here. Please connect your dashcam with the car's battery. Nowadays dashcams are designed to be kept there and if your dashcam has a surveillance mode then it will take minimal power from the battery. If the car's battery is low then it will automatically disconnect itself. I once went to my hometown and my car was idle for two months -- when I came back the car started normallly with the dashcam connected to the battery. Skoda folks might ask you to use the 12V socket but please don't listen to them -- you might experience fuse issues.

The class of the segment. The riding experience is incredibly good in all aspects. It has front-only disks, but I don't feel any lag on braking either. The Monte Carlo makes this car even more special in looks and it is eye-catching. I would park the car, stand, watch the car for a few minutes, and head back home. The performance of this is undoubtedly excellent as you expect from a German brand. Service interval is in every 15k kms and had no reliability issues to date.

Sir clutch failure issues aaye aapko ? I am planning to buy this but m confused hu clutch issues se… Hm clutch issues se kse bach sakte hai ? Becoz meri i20 perrol m 1.20 m aaj tak change nahi huii clutch

I guess two years is too short a time for any kind of niggles or issues to really come up. Including the DSG gearbox.

AC issue was with 1.0 variant and that too in initial launch slavias due to low rpm AC cut off but the company fixed it with software update. Otherwise no issue with AC cooling.
