In terms of powertrain, the upcoming Skoda Slavia will be offered with two engine options: a 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine with the capability of churning out 108 hp and 175 Nm when coupled to a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission; and a 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine producing 148 hp and 250 Nm when combined with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DSG unit.
