The Slavia will share its powertrain with the Skoda Kushaq. This means, the Slavia will get the same 1.0-litre TSI three-cylinder engine and 1.5-litre four-cylinder TSI unit, and both are turbocharged petrol motors. The first makes 113 bhp and 175 Nm of peak torque, and comes mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and an optional 6-speed automatic torque converter. The larger 1.5-litre motor makes 148 bhp and 250 Nm of peak torque and comes mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and 7-speed DSG automatic unit. Also, like the Kushak, the 1.5-litre engine with the Slavia comes with Active Cylinder Technology (ACT) that automatically shuts down the two cylinders when the engine is in high speed, thus increasing fuel efficiency .
