30 per cent of all bookings are for the more powerful 1.5 TSI model while the rest are for the 1.0 TSI.
Skoda revealed that the company is seeing higher-than-expected demand for the Slavia 1.5 TSI. The company said it currently has 14,000 bookings for the new compact sedan, of which 30 per cent are for the more powerful 1.5 TSI model. The company said it expects about 15 percent of demand to come from more expensive models, more than double the current numbers.
As per company data, it has received orders for around 4,200 units (30 per cent of the 14,000 units booked) of the more powerful 1.5 TSI Slavia since the bookings began. This also shows that there is a lot of interest in the top trims as the 1.5 TSI is limited to the fully loaded style trim.

The 1.5 TSI is restricted to the fully loaded styling trim only.
Higher-than-anticipated demand has also affected Slavia’s waiting period. The 1.0 TSI model has an average waiting period of up to 2 months while the 1.5 TSI model has this number up to 4 months.
