The price drop of Skoda Slavia and Kushaq will remain in place for a limited period; variants of both models renamed as well
Skoda Auto India has lowered the prices of its locally produced and popular offerings, the Slavia and Kushaq in the domestic market while the variants have been renamed as well. The midsize sedan now carries a starting price of Rs. 10.69 lakh while the Kushaq’s entry-level variant starts at Rs 10.89 lakh (ex-showroom).
The former is less expensive by Rs. 94,000 while the latter’s price has reduced by Rs. 1.10 lakh. According to the Czech auto major, the price drop has been implemented to appeal to a wider range of buyers. However, the new prices will be applicable only for a limited period of time and thus interested folks can check them out right away before the lucrative deal closes.
The brand has also renamed variants as the Active, Ambition, and Style monikers have been ditched in favour of Classic, Signature, and Prestige respectively. The Skoda Kushaq will retain its Onyx and Monte Carlo versions though. The Kushaq Onyx is available in 1.0L MT and 1.0L AT trims while the Signature, Monte Carlo and Prestige can be had with 1.0L and 1.5L petrol engines in both transmission choices. The Monte Carlo 1.5L AT’s price has been reduced by Rs. 2.19 lakh.
