Skoda has launched the new Kushaq Monte Carlo in India with prices starting from ₹ 15.99 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The Monte Carlo variant is the new top-spec model in the Kushaq line-up and costs ₹ 70,000 more than an equivalent Style variant. It gets cosmetic updates inside out with the addition of a nifty new feature.
The Kushaq Monte Carlo gets an all-black exterior treatment, replacing all the chrome and silver elements from the standard car. The grille, wing mirrors, roof rails, door handles and bumper inserts are finished in black, and so are the front and rear skid plates. It also gets a new set of 17-inch alloy wheels that look similar to that of the previous-gen Octavia RS 245. You also get red brake calipers with the 1.5 TSI variants.
There is a prominent ‘Monte Carlo’ badging on the front fenders, while the ‘Skoda’ and ‘Kushaq’ lettering on the tailgate are in black. Similarly, the roof is also finished in black, while the tailgate spoiler gets a dual-tone red and black finish. The Kushaq Monte Carlo is only available in two exterior paint shades — Red and White.
