Škoda has unveiled its new Slavia Monte Carlo, a premium variant of its popular Slavia sedan. The Monte Carlo edition builds on the standard model’s success, bringing a host of aesthetic upgrades, premium features, and a more dynamic driving experience.
Design and Styling
The Škoda Slavia Monte Carlo edition is a visual treat, sporting a host of exclusive design elements that set it apart from the regular Slavia. The exterior features a striking blacked-out front grille, gloss black ORVMs (Outside Rear View Mirrors), and a black roof that gives the car a sportier, more aggressive stance. The Monte Carlo badging on the fenders and the 17-inch alloy wheels with a dual-tone finish further enhance its sporty appeal.
The interior of the Slavia Monte Carlo is equally impressive, featuring a black and red theme that adds to the car’s sporty character. The dashboard, seat upholstery, and door trims feature red accents, and ambient lighting enhances the car’s overall design.
Performance
Under the hood, the Slavia Monte Carlo comes with the same engine options as the standard Slavia. It is available with two engine choices: a 1.0-liter TSI petrol engine producing 115 PS and a 1.5-liter TSI petrol engine churning out 150 PS. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed manual transmission as standard, with an option for a 6-speed torque converter automatic with the 1.0 TSI and a 7-speed DSG automatic with the 1.5 TSI.
The Monte Carlo edition maintains the Slavia’s reputation for a smooth and responsive driving experience, with the added benefit of its sporty styling and premium features making the driving experience even more enjoyable.
Features and Technology
The designers equipped the Škoda Slavia Monte Carlo with a host of premium features, making it a well-rounded package. It includes a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a fully digital instrument cluster, ventilated front seats, a wireless phone charger, and a sunroof. Safety features include six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, a rear parking camera, and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
The Monte Carlo edition also boasts a premium sound system, enhancing the in-cabin experience for both the driver and passengers.
Price and Availability
Experts expect the Škoda Slavia Monte Carlo to have a slightly higher price than the standard Slavia, reflecting its premium positioning. While Škoda will reveal the exact pricing closer to the launch date, many anticipate it will start around INR 15.79 lakh (ex-showroom). Customers will find the Monte Carlo edition available at Škoda dealerships across India, and it should hit the market soon, offering a more stylish and feature-rich option in the compact sedan segment.
The Škoda Slavia Monte Carlo is a stylish, feature-packed sedan that builds on the strong foundation of the standard Slavia. The sporty design, premium features, and dynamic performance of the Monte Carlo edition are set to appeal to customers who want a sedan that stands out in both style and substance.
