Skoda is all set to launch the Monte Carlo Edition of their popular mid-size SUV, Kushaq on May 9. Based on the top of the line Style variant, Kushaq Monte Carlo Edition will be offered with both 1.0L and 1.5L petrol engine options.
On the outside, we can expect blacked-out treatment on the grille, bumper, fog light, roof rails, roof, outside rearview mirrors and more. This edition is expected to be brought in two colour options - red and white. In addition, the Monte Carlo Editon of the Skoda Kushaq will get a new set of tyres, 205/55 R17 and the design of the alloy wheels will be similar to that of the Octavia RS245. Do expect Monte Carlo edition badging on the front fenders and the boot lid of the Kushaq.
Moving towards the inside, the analogue instrument cluster will now be replaced by a digital console. This is seen in the higher variants of the Skoda Slavia and VW Taigun. Unlike the grey and black upholstery design present in the Kushaq, it will now be replaced by black and red and highlights of red inserts will be seen on the centre console, dashboard and on all four doors.
