Skoda Kushaq Monte Carlo launched, prices start at Rs 15.99 lakh

The Monte Carlo variant gets a new sound system and a digital instrument cluster.

Skoda has launched the Monte Carlo edition of the Kushaq in India. It not only features cosmetic updates but also a feature update. Prices for the SUV begin at Rs 15.99 lakh and go up to Rs 19.49 lakh (all prices are ex-showroom). Check out the detailed prices in the table below.

As you can see in the table above, Skoda is charging a premium of Rs 70,000 for the Monte Carlo variant of the Kushaq, which is available with all powertrain options of the Kushaq.

As far as the cosmetic updates are concerned, the Monte Carlo editions come with a blacked-out grille surround, Monte Carlo badges on the fender, vRS 245 alloy wheels, matte-black roof rails, a gloss-black roof, blacked-out badges on the boot lid, and a black-chrome strip running across its width. The 1.5 TSI version also gets red brake callipers.

The interior, too, receives red applique on the dashboard. There are also red surrounds around the door handles and the centre console. The seats too are finished in black and red, and the Monte Carlo badging can be found on the headrests and scuff plates.

The Monte Carlo variant also gets feature updates. The touchscreen now features a red colour scheme, but more importantly, the Kushaq Monte Carlo gets a digital instrument cluster, like the Volkswagen Taigun. There’s also an 8-speaker sound system, which, according to Skoda, has high-performance speakers and a subwoofer. Lastly, the passenger side of the dashboard gets red ambient lighting as well.

While red is the exterior colour of the Kushaq Monte Carlo, which we absolutely love, you can also get it in white (optional). With this variant, the ex-showroom price of the Kushaq is now close to the Rs 20 lakh mark.
