Skoda Slavia 1.5 TSI DSG: Initial impresssions after 1500 km

I should admit the drive of the Salvia 1.5 DSG is amazingly smooth and mightily powerful, so power does come with a caveat of fuel efficiency.

BHPian XUV500_BLR recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I booked the Slavia 1.5 DSG Carbon Steel at the time of launch (Nov 2021) at RAJA SKODA, Bangalore. A couple of months later, when the Salvia was displayed in the showroom (sometime 21st Feb 2022), I was bowled over by the red color but having another Innova Crysta in Wildfire Red pulled me down to sticking to the earlier choice of Carbon Steel. As weeks went by took the delivery of the car on 30th March 2022, the booking to delivery of the car process was absolutely fantastic (Anitha, the sales manager had a pretty good team with customer focus).

Soon after the delivery of the car, I did a trip to Tamilnadu and couple of short trips in and around Bangalore. I should admit the drive of the Salvia 1.5 DSG is amazingly smooth and mightily powerful, so power does come with a caveat of fuel efficiency. I thoroughly love the Salvia ! As of today its 1500 kms on the ODO and FE for now is around 8 to 10 kmpl

Being a Michelin freak for better handling changed the stock tyres to the Pilot Sport 4.
