Skoda Slavia Monte Carlo launched in India; Kushaq & Slavia Sportline break cover

Skoda Auto India has extended the Monte Carlo Editon to the Slavia sedan and prices start at Rs 15.79 lakh (ex-showroom). This new special edition of the sedan will be sold alongside the new Skoda Kushaq and Slavia Sportline which also debuted today and prices for the Sportline start from Rs 14.70 lakh and Rs 14.05 lakh (ex-showroom) respectively.

Skoda Slavia Monte Carlo

The Skoda Slavia Monte Carlo is based on the top-of-the-line Prestige variant of the Slavia. The Monte Carlo Edition's external appearance has been given a striking red and black treatment much like the Kushaq Monte Carlo. The door handles, side skirts, rear spoiler, grille, emblems, and bumpers all have black accents and so are the wheels which are a pair of 16-inch black alloys.

The dashboard receives a black finish with red accents to create contrast, just as the outside. The seats have dual-tone black and red colours, and the headrests are embroidered with the phrase "Monte Carlo." Aluminium pedals, a black finish on the door pads, and a red motif for the digital driver display are all included.

Skoda Kushaq & Slavia Sportline

Based on the mid-spec Signature model, the Skoda Slavia and Kushaq Sportline have the same black finish as the Monte Carlo, which includes black 16-inch alloy wheels (17-inch on the Kushaq). The Signature does offer more in terms of colours as it can be had with either colour from the car's portfolio but with a black roof. New aluminium pedals, dual-striped cloth upholstery, and a dual-tone black and beige colour scheme are all added to the Kushaq and Slavia Sportline.

Powertrains

A 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine or a 1-litre turbo-petrol engine will be available for both special versions. The larger and more powerful petrol engine produces 150 PS and 250 Nm, while the smaller engine produces 115 PS and 178 Nm. A 6-speed torque converter (1.0-litre), a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (1.5-litre) and a 6-speed manual transmission are the available transmission options. There is no option to have the 1.5-litre engine with a manual gearbox in either of these editions.
