Is it just me or does it seem like the car has been lowered?

I am sure, this model is the current version. Why?

• The front end grill looks the same, headlights are the same and the fog lamp housing is also identical!

• The side profile is the same, alloys are the same, very visible.
• The rear, well, look at the lighted portion on the boot, and the shape becomes quite evident. Again, same as the current one

My question is, what is this car being tested for? I'm sure there's a facelift around the corner, but certainly this particular test mule is the current version of the Slavia.

Let's wait till the wraps come off and more details emerge, I guess.

I believe this could be Slavia Monte Carlo which is speculated to launch next month as per https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/offic...ml#post5833330 (Skoda Slavia Review). The speculated Monte Carlo variant in the above forum post is shod with black wheels.

I want Skoda to launch updated Slavia with at least 360 degree camera and optional ADAS in mid and top variants to the sedan relevant and lure me again to buy a sedan. Slavia sales are going down month over month and the refresh could get some more people interested. If Slavia gets ADAS, then Virtus would get ADAS about coouple of months after Slavia launch and hopefully Virtus+Slavia sales improve overall.
In addition to facelifts, VW needs to improve interior part quality

They might be testing a new engine perhaps ? Because the exterior is unchanged, and from what I can see, interior hasn't changed either. So it must be a new engine, or something like that.

Good stock clearance stunt by Skoda. Risers definitely will pick these up and help.

Might be an unpopular opinion but although that car looks gorgeous, I think blackening out everything on a dark paint shade would make it a visibility hazard at night. I would have rather had the wheels in something like a brushed SS finish.

How many of you feeling disappointed after realizing that we don’t have the 1.5 MT version anymore. I still can’t get over it as I was planning to get one next year when the facelift gets launched. Not sure why Skoda doesn’t prioritize the 1.5 manual in their lineup. I’m assuming there would be roughly 200-250 monthly units opportunity lost for Skoda.

Quite disappointing. Hope VW doesn't axe the Virtus 1.5 manual too. Considering how unreliable that DSG gearbox is, many who know about the issues with may be dissuaded to buy the Slavia.

It is not unreliable in its current form, there have been almost no reports of DSG failure in the Vag 2.0 cars, Also there is extended warranty up to 7 years, so there is always that fallback option.

Yes, manual would be good as an option but VAG is making decisions based on what their customer data says about what people actually buy.

The cars are still pretty new, so I guess we haven't yet seen any issues. I like to keep my cars for a long time, so I don't want to take that big risk of owning a car with a gearbox that costs 10% of the car to repair. There are enough stories on here about that gearbox so I'm not convinced.
