Skoda Slavia
agr if you like sedan, Skoda Slavia 1.0-litre turbo-petrol is a great option for you. This car is known for its premium design, solid build quality and comfort. According to Autocar India’s real-world test, its manual version gives a mileage of 13 kmpl, while the automatic version provides efficiency of up to 11.95 kmpl.
The manual version is more efficient because it has a direct mechanical connection between the engine and the wheels. At the same time, the automatic gearbox has a slight energy loss due to the torque converter, especially in the city traffic.
The specialty of Slavia is its refined engine and its planted feel on the highway. Its suspension setup gives smooth ride everywhere from city streets to long drives. However, its turbo-petrol engine is slightly sensitive. If you run it aggressively, mileage may decrease.
