These limited-run vehicles are designed to offer discerning buyers something truly special, commemorating Skoda’s enduring legacy and commitment to the Indian automotive landscape.
A Quarter-Century of Excellence: The Skoda Limited Edition Lineup
To mark this momentous occasion, Skoda has meticulously crafted limited editions of its top-selling models. These aren’t just cosmetic upgrades; they come packed with premium features and distinctive design elements that set them apart. With only 500 units available for each model, these Skoda Limited Edition vehicles are poised to become sought-after collector’s items for enthusiasts and loyal customers alike.
Skoda Kushaq Monte Carlo Limited Edition: Sporty Sophistication
The Skoda Kushaq limited edition builds upon the already popular Monte Carlo trim, elevating its sporty appeal with exclusive design cues and enhanced features. Available in striking Deep Black and Tornado Red paint options, each variant boasts contrasting accents – Deep Black models feature Tornado Red accessories, while Tornado Red versions get sleek Deep Black detailing. Exterior enhancements include a fog lamp garnish, trunk garnish, and lower door garnish, along with a fin spoiler and the distinctive ‘25th Anniversary’ badging on the B-pillar.
But the enhancements don’t stop there. The Kushaq Monte Carlo Limited Edition comes with a complimentary accessories kit that includes a 360-degree camera setup, puddle lamps, and underbody lights, adding both convenience and a touch of flair. Under the hood, it offers both the 1.0-litre TSI engine (114bhp and 178Nm) and the more powerful 1.5-litre TSI engine (148bhp and 250Nm of peak torque), paired with manual, automatic, or DSG transmission options.
Skoda Slavia Monte Carlo Limited Edition: Elegance Meets Exclusivity
Following in the footsteps of its SUV sibling, the Skoda Slavia limited edition also receives the Monte Carlo treatment, offering a blend of elegant design and a feature-rich experience. Available in the same Deep Black and Tornado Red exterior colors, the Slavia Monte Carlo Limited Edition features a front bumper spoiler, trunk, and lower door garnishes in contrasting colors.
