Skoda has launched the Kushaq Monte Carlo in India as the SUV’s new top-spec trim level that pays homage to the carmaker’s century-old rallying legacy. It’s offered with both 1-litre and 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine options, either with a standard 6-speed manual transmission or an automatic gearbox.

You’ll have to shell out a premium of Rs 70,000 over the Style variant to buy the Monte Carlo variant.
The Monte Carlo trim level adds plenty of sporty cues to the Kushaq Monte Carlo. At the front, you get a glossy-black front grille and black trim bits in the bumper. Moreover, the Kushaq’s 17-inch alloy wheels are inspired by the now-discontinued Skoda Octavia RS 245 sports sedan.
The ORVMs are black and the roof is finished in Carbon Steel Grey, both of which nicely contrast with the red and white body colours. The 1.5-litre Monte Carlo variant gets another distinguishing cosmetic touch: red brake calipers. At the rear, the SUV gets gloss black tailgate trim, badges, and spoiler and faux diffuser.
Inside, the compact SUV gets an all-black interior theme with sporty gloss-red trim pieces on the dashboard and door pads. The upholstery has a two-tone red-and-black theme, and the headrests feature “Monte Carlo” inscriptions at the front and rear. Other sporty bits include aluminium pedals, red ambient lighting and a red theme for the digital driver’s display, a new addition in the Kushaq, and 10-inch infotainment screens.
Rest of the features are the same as the top-spec Style, and you can read about it in our variants explained story.
The Kushaq Monte Carlo will be offered with both the petrol engines, paired with manual and automatic transmissions. Take a look at the specifications:
