Mladá Boleslav / Pune, 28 February 2022 – The new SLAVIA’s advanced infotainment systems enable smartphone integration via SmartLink technology. They are operated via a colour touchscreen, which measures seven or ten inches depending on the trim level. The top-end infotainment system is part of the standard equipment from the SLAVIA Ambition upwards, providing access to a plethora of MyŠKODA Connect mobile online services with ŠKODA Play Apps, which can be used to download a navigation function.

The infotainment systems available for the new SLAVIA can be operated via a colour touchscreen and allow smartphone integration through SmartLink technology. In the entry-level system included in the Active trim, the smartphone has to be connected using a cable. A Bluetooth connection and built-in microphone enable hands-free phone calls when on the road. The screen measures seven inches, and devices can be charged and data transferred via a USB-A socket. The top-level infotainment system in Ambition and Style has a ten-inch colour touchscreen with functionality similar to that found in smartphones. This system features a dual tuner, a Wi-Fi hotspot and an external microphone for hands-free calls (Bluetooth standard 4.0). For connecting and charging mobile devices via cable, there are two USB-C sockets in the centre console and another two in the rear; the SLAVIA Style also comes with a Phone Box in the front, which allows selected smartphones to be charged wirelessly. Wireless SmartLink technology allows a smartphone to be mirrored without the use of a cable, too. Furthermore, this infotainment system offers access to an online store with ŠKODA Play apps for download.

The extensive range of MyŠKODA Connect mobile online services covers various topics. The MyŠKODA Connect app, for example, provides tips for a more efficient driving style, displaying and analysing statistics. In terms of driving data, a logbook and an overview of fuel costs can be created, a planned route can be tracked and an estimated time of arrival can be calculated. The current parking location of the SLAVIA and the route to it can be displayed in real time, parking spaces and fuel stations can be searched for, and vehicle information can be called up. The app stores the car’s service history, and can transmit remote diagnostics and issue configurable notifications. It is possible to create an up-to-date Vehicle Health Report, or connect to a helpline or send a text message to an emergency contact in the event of an accident. Geofencing allows the owner to be notified if the SLAVIA is speeding or travelling outside a specified area.

High-quality speakers strike the right note in the new SLAVIA. The Active variant is equipped with two tweeters and two bass speakers in the front, with a total power output of 100 W. On top of that, the SLAVIA Ambition features the same specification in the rear doors, increasing the total output to 200 W. In the top-end model, Style, the ŠKODA Sound System delivers a particularly impressive audio experience. The four bass speakers in the doors each boast an extra 50 W and – for an enhanced bass experience – are supported by a 100-watt subwoofer in the spare wheel well in the boot. Optimal sound distribution can be adjusted by the amplifier fitted under the front-passenger seat. The power output of the ŠKODA Sound System is 380 W.
