Czech automaker Skoda Auto India on Tuesday released interior design sketches of Slavia before its world premiere.
The premium midsize sedan’s cabin showcases the current Skoda interior concept, as featured in some of the brand’s other models along with the latest design elements.
These include distinctive, round air vents, a horizontal decorative trim strip in contrasting colour, and embossed wordmarks on the binnacle.
The central element in the interior of the current Skoda models is a free-standing infotainment display. Underneath the 25.4 centimetres, touchscreen display is a character line referencing the silhouette of the Skoda grille.
It also serves as a hand-rest when operating the display. The width of the brand’s signature, spacious cabin is emphasised by a horizontal, seemingly floating trim strip in a contrasting colour, which extends all the way into the distinctive, round air vents on the sides.
The digital instrument cluster’s display can be seen behind the two-spoke multifunction steering wheel. Like the Kushaq, the Slavia is based on the locally developed and manufactured MQB-A0-IN platform.
Skoda has adapted this version of the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Transverse Matrix for the Indian market. The Skoda Auto Technology Centre in Pune handled its technical development.
