Skoda has revealed a special-edition version of the Slavia sedan in India – the Monte Carlo. Prices for the Slavia Monte Carlo edition will be announced upon its official launch on September 2. In the run-up to its launch, the Slavia Monte Carlo has started arriving at Skoda's dealerships across the country, while bookings for the car are scheduled to begin at 5 pm today.
Compared to the standard model, the Skoda Slavia Monte Carlo gets a blacked-out finish for the radiator grille, outside rearview mirrors, front spoiler, side skirts, 16-inch alloy wheels, boot spoiler, and rear diffuser. The new model also features black garnish around the windows, fog lamps, and rear bumper. Other bits include darkened LED taillamps, door handles with dark chrome highlights, Monte Carlo badging on the fender, and a dual-toned roof. The all-black theme continues inside, which features a black-coloured dashboard with red inserts and dual-toned red-and-black seats with 'Monte Carlo' debossed headrests. The vehicle also gets Monte Carlo scuff plates.

Skoda to Launch Slavia, Kushaq Sports Range Too
Alongside the Skoda Slavia Monte Carlo, Czech-based Skoda will also launch the Sportline variants of the Kushaq and the Slavia in India.
The Slavia and the Kushaq are Skoda's two mainstream models that have emerged from the Volkswagen Group's 'India 2.0' project. The Sportline variants of both the Kushaq and Slavia are expected to come with a sole 1.0-litre turbo-petrol motor, visual changes, and the same cabin layout as the current version, albeit with a few upgrades.
