It is the only trim to get the option of the 150PS turbo-petrol engine

The best version of the Slavia is the top-spec Style. It sells at a premium of Rs 1.6 lakh over the mid-spec variant for the corresponding powertrain choice. This is also the only variant if you want the sedan with the 150PS turbo-petrol engine, which adds at least an extra Rs 2.19 lakh to the price. Let’s see if the high-priced but feature-loaded Slavia Style is worth your money:

Variant	1-litre TSI MT	1-litre TSI AT	1.5-litre TSI MT	1.5-litre TSI DSG
Style	Rs 14 lakh	Rs 15.39 lakh	Rs 16.19 lakh	Rs 17.79 lakh

Why consider Slavia Style?

The top variant of the Slavia offers the complete premium sedan experience. With the 1-litre turbo-petrol engine and the extra features on offer, we think the additional moolah is justifiable.

The Slavia Style gets six airbags, a digital driver’s display, auto LED headlights, a sunroof, leatherette upholstery, height-adjustable and ventilated front seats, rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming IRVM, a premium sound system, connected car tech, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless charging.

The pricing for the 1.5-litre TSI variants may be too steep to some, but it would be understood by those who appreciate what the powertrain has to offer. At 150PS/250Nm, it is the most powerful sedan in the segment. Paired with manual and dual-clutch automatic transmissions, it delivers the kind of drive we've come to associate and expect from a Skoda.

Here are the features on offer in this trim:

	Exterior	Interior	Comfort	Infotainment	Safety

What could have been better about Slavia Style?

As a premium offering with the highest price tag in its segment, the Slavia Style could have definitely offered a few extra features and conveniences. For example, it could have been equipped with front parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and remote vehicle functions such as engine start and cabin pre-cooling.

Variant	Verdict
Active	Covers the basics, worth considering on a tight budget
Ambition	A complete package and our recommended pick, especially with the automatic option
Style (w/o sunroof)	Not worth considering
Style	Consider for the fully loaded premium experience + it gets the option of the most powerful engine in the segment
