To rope in more customers ahead of the festive season, Skoda Auto India has announced a substantial price reduction for two of its products with immediate effect – the Kushaq SUV and the Slavia sedan. The Skoda Kushaq has seen a price cut of Rs 70,000, and the SUV now retails at a starting price of Rs 10.89 lakh (ex-showroom). Whereas, the Slavia sedan has seen a reduction in price by Rs 50,000, and the new revised price is marked at Rs 10.89 lakh (ex-showroom). Notably, both prices will be treated as valid for a limited period. The Slavia was earlier priced at Rs 11.39 lakh, while the Kushaq retailed at Rs 11.59 lakh (both ex-showroom). Other than the substantial price drop, the carmaker has introduced a new Matte edition of the entry-level Slavia sedan, which will also only be available for a limited period. This new variant offers cosmetic updates over the standard Skoda Slavia. The exterior is painted in Carbon Steel colour that has a matte finish. The wing mirrors, door handles, and alloy wheels are finished in gloss black, although the window lining and chrome finish on the grille have remained untouched.
