After three and a half years in the market, the Skoda Slavia midsize sedan has received its first mid-cycle facelift. The updated sedan brings minor cosmetic revisions, interior technology and comfort upgrades, a new 8-speed automatic transmission option, and an expanded trim structure. It continues to compete in the midsize sedan segment against the Volkswagen Virtus, Honda City, and Hyundai Verna.
