You love it for its five-star rated safety, massive boot space, ground clearance and driving dynamics that make it an absolute favourite on the road. The Slavia has gotten itself more additions and enhancements. There are benefits for customers buying the sport-inspired Monte Carlo and Sportline range of the Kushaq and Slavia. The first 5,000 customers booking any of these four cars will receive benefits of Rs 30,000, valid till bookings until September 6, 2024.
Skoda has finally launched the Monte Carlo edition of Slavia with prices starting at Rs 15.79 lakh and going up to Rs 18.49 lakh. The Czech brand marked its 112th anniversary of its debut at Rallye Monte Carlo which is born out of Skoda’s motorsport heritage. The Monte Carlo edition of Slavia gets sportier enhancements over the standard model both outside and inside. They are offering benefits of Rs 30,000 for Monte Carlo and Sportline editions of both Kushaq and Slavia for the first 5,000 bookings.
The Slavia Monte Carlo is available in two dual-tone colour options: Tornado Red and Candy White with a Deep Black roof. The changes in the Monte Carlo edition are purely cosmetic. At the exterior, it gets blacked-out highlights such as the front radiator grille, gloss black ORMVs, 16-inch blacked-out alloy wheels, roof, rear bumper diffuser, and garnishes on the front bumper lip, fog lamp, and door sills.
A boot lid spoiler with a piano black finish enhances the sedan’s sporty profile. Further, Monte Carlo badgings on the side fenders lend exclusivity to the car with the LED taillamps that have been given a smoky treatment which goes well with the overall blacked-out treatment.
Inside, the all-black cabin is spruced with red highlights which complement its sporty exterior. For instance, red accents on the dashboard, seat upholstery, and red stitching on the leather-wrapped steering wheel and door trims provide a nice sporty contrast to the cabin. Other notable changes include Monte Carlo scuff plates, and aluminium pedals.
There is no change in the functionality of the Slavia Monte Carlo with features such as a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a fully-digital instrument console, auto climate control, paddle shifts for AT variants, and electric sunroof on offer. It comes equipped with six airbags, electronic stability control, hill hold control, tyre pressure monitor, and traction control and comes equipped with safety features.
The Slavia Monte Carlo is available with two turbocharged petrol engine options— a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder TSI and a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder TSI churning 114 bhp and 175 Nm of peak torque while being mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. The 1.5-litre unit pumps out 148 bhp and 250 Nm of peak torque while being exclusively linked with a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox in the Monte Carlo trim.
