Skoda’s popular sedan, the Slavia, is set to receive an update and is likely to debut in a facelifted avatar soon. A test model of the updated Slavia was recently spotted testing in Pune, hinting at the changes in store. Although the car was fully covered, a few updates at the front and rear could still be made out. These include a revised headlamp design with updated LED DRLs and reworked fog lamp housings. The lower grille also appears to come with a 3D pattern finished in piano black. That said, the overall stance of the sedan remains unchanged. Skoda is likely to introduce new alloy wheel designs, as the test car was seen with blacked-out alloys featuring a different spoke pattern. The Skoda Slavia facelift is also expected to come with a slightly tweaked rear profile, with minor bumper revisions and new taillamp internals.
