The mid-size premium sedan segment is quite competitive with the likes of Hyundai Verna, Honda City, Skoda Slavia and VW Virtus
In this post, we are taking a look at the details of the Skoda Slavia in its base trim which has undergone a massive price cut. Slavia belongs to one of the most competitive spaces in the sedan category in India. In the last few years, the massive onslaught from the SUVs has resulted in shrinkage of the market for sedans.

Still, cars like the Verna, City, Virtus and Slavia have carried on the appeal of sedans with new-age design, practicality, performance and features.
