Design
Looking at the front, the Slavia Classic Plus features LED projector headlamps with LED DRLs, which are standard from the base variant itself. It also features a black grille, while a notable addition comes in the form of a set of LED foglamps, which the base Classic trim misses out on.
In the profile, the Slavia Classic Plus facelift has a familiar curvy silhouette. It comes with body-coloured door handles, bigger 16-inch alloy wheels, a blacked-out B-pillar, and body-coloured ORVMs with turn indicators, making it feel not so basic.
At the rear, it looks very similar to the outgoing model, which came with wrap-around LED taillamps that also extend into the boot. At the center, you have the Skoda badge, which is lettered. Down on the bumper, it has the rear parking sensors and a faux black trim too for a sportier look.
Colour Options
The Slavia Classic Plus is available with Brilliant Silver, Candy White, Carbon Steel, Lava Blue and Cherry Red colours. To know more about which colours are available in higher variants, check out the variant-wise colours.

On the door sills, you will notice Slavia embossed scuff plates, which are available from this variant. It comes with a two-spoke steering wheel with controls for audio as well as the MID of the cluster, and the steering design blends into the Slavia’s cabin theme.
The Slavia Classic Plus continues to offer fabric seat upholstery with a height-adjustable driver seat to boost comfort levels. Another feature, and one which is a hit amongst Indian buyers, is the single-pane sunroof which is also present in this variant and makes the cabin feel airier

CarDekho Says..
The Slavia Classic Plus is worth a look if the base Classic feels too basic. For a decent step up, you get LED foglamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, body-coloured ORVMs with turn indicators and the feature most Indian buyers want, an electric sunroof. Inside, it also gets automatic climate control, cruise control and a 7-inch touchscreen with wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while safety is well covered with 6 airbags, ESP, TPMS and ISOFIX as standard.
The Classic Plus will suit for buyers who want to have car to drive around in the city, where you might encounter a lot of traffic, so for that having an automatic transmission must be on the list, which this variant fullfills.
The 1-litre turbo-petrol engine is on offer with a 6-speed manual and the new 8-speed automatic. The only real miss is the rear-view camera, so you will have to go for a higher variant or fit one as an accessory.
