2. Safety and Build

3. Inside and Features

• Skoda Slavia (New): The cabin is full of modern tech. You get a big touchscreen, a digital dashboard, and ventilated seats (cooling seats). It feels like a premium car.
• Maruti Suzuki Ciaz (Old): The back seat is very spacious and comfortable, like a sofa. However, the dashboard looks old. It misses out on cool features like a sunroof or wireless phone charger.
