The Skoda Slavia is primarily offered in three variants, but there is also this trim which is, quite literally, called ‘Style without sunroof’. It attracts a premium of Rs 1.2 lakh over the Ambition variant and is only offered with a single powertrain. Let’s see if it is a variant even worth considering:

Variant	1-litre TSI MT	1-litre TSI AT	1.5-litre TSI MT	1.5-litre TSI DSG
Style w/o sunroof	Rs 13.6 lakh	N.A.	N.A.	N.A.
Style	Rs 14 lakh	Rs 15.39 lakh	Rs 16.19 lakh	Rs 17.79 lakh
Difference	Rs 40,000	-	-	-

Why consider Slavia Style (w/o sunroof)?

It gets nearly all the cool features as the fully loaded top-spec Slavia, including the six airbags, auto LED headlamps, leatherette upholstery, digital driver’s display, Skoda connected car tech, and ventilated front seats. If you particularly do not want a sunroof (and are satisfied with the 1-litre turbo-petrol engine with the manual transmission), then this variant will meet your very specific requirements. We think it may also have a shorter waiting period than the better-equipped Style.

Here are the features on offer in this trim:

	Exterior	Interior	Comfort	Infotainment	Safety
Highlight features	Auto LED headlights LED split taillights 16-inch alloy wheels	Height adjustable front seats Leatherette upholstery Ambient lighting	8-inch digital driver’s display Ventilated front seats Auto AC with rear vents Cruise control	Skoda Connect Wireless charging	6 airbags Rear parking camera with sensors Hill hold control Tyre pressure monitor
Other features	Front fog lamps Chrome garnish on window and rear bumper Shark fin antenna	Dual tone black and beige central console 60:40 split folding rear seat Front centre armrest with storage Center rear armrest with cup holders	Power folding ORVMs 2x USB-C sockets front and rear Cooled glove box	10-inch touchscreen Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay	ESC, ABS and EBD Traction control ISOFIX
Upgrade to Style if you want	Sunroof		Rain sensing front wipers Auto dimming IRVM	Premium sound system with 9 speakers (380W)

Why skip Slavia Style (without the sunroof)?

Considering that the fully loaded Slavia Style will only cost you an extra Rs 40,000, we see no consumer-focused reason to choose this particular variant.

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
