What's the story
SKODA announced the KUSHAQ's Monte Carlo trim in the Indian market in May 2022. The model now boasts two new features—front-powered seats and illuminated footwell lights—to enhance its overall comfort and driving experience. The Monte Carlo edition is based on the top-spec Style variant and comes with two powertrain options. Plus, it sports a range of cosmetic and feature updates both inside and out.

Distinctive exterior design elements
What sets the SKODA KUSHAQ Monte Carlo apart from the standard variant is its eye-catching Tornado Red exterior with blacked-out elements. These include the front grille, roof rails, roof, ORVMs, and skid plate. The vehicle also flaunts a new wheel design with red brake calipers and Monte Carlo badging above the front wheel arches, giving it a unique appearance that stands out from other models in the line-up.

This edition comes equipped with a 10.0-inch infotainment screen, a two-spoke steering wheel, a digital instrument cluster, a panoramic roof, ventilated front seats, and dual-tone upholstery. To further emphasize its distinct identity within the KUSHAQ lineup, the headrests even display the Monte Carlo inscription.
