In my opinion, the monte carlo looks absolutely stunning, It has that aggressive yet calm look. Changing the chrome around the grille to matte black on my white kushaq has been lingering around my mind ever since I saw this version. I feel this will be a good refresh for the kushaq.
Is it too soon to think about the slavia's monte carlo version?

Interiors look quite cheap and does not compliment the exterior. Seats does not give you a feeling of sitting inside a 20L car is quite pathetic

The wheel alloys, the red trim additions all over the interiors - IMHO, they ruined a good chance of continuing the classy Skoda design language. As another member has rightly commented earlier: straight out of a Karol Bagh mod job!

Recently got my grille and taillights wrapped. Planning to get the roof rails and alloys painted to black as well. Once they start selling the grills from the MC at the service center, might just replace the grill with an original MC grill.

Looks rad!

It is glossy in pic like monte carlo edition!

Skoda India has added a new variant to the Kushaq's line-up, called the Ambition Classic priced from Rs 12.69 lakh for the manual and Rs 14.09 lakh for the automatic (ex-showroom, India).

- Kushaq Ambition Classic is positioned between the Active and Ambition variants, available only with the 1.0 TSI engine with 6-speed manual and automatic gearbox options.

Skoda has skipped a few features on the Ambition Classic variant. For instance, it misses out on automatic climate control and gets black suede seat covers instead of dual-tone fabric seats available in the Ambition variant.

However, the 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto has been retained.

So they deleted climate control and auto folding mirrors and gave a 25k reduction in price.

One would rather buy the active and customize to individual tastes except the drl headlights and rear wiper.

One should expect discounts to continue in Kushaq for a long time.

Hello, does anyone has idea if & how can we order Kushaq Ambition's music system. I have purchased Kushaq Active peace variant & came to know from a YouTube channel that this variant has the necessary wiring to support higher variant's system & camera.

On inquiring about getting Ambition's music system, the dealership flatly refused stating Skoda doesn't allow this & told that it can't be ordered.

I am not entirely convinced with this reasoning of system can't be ordered as there would be cases where this has to be completely replaced & workshop would have to get it.

Could be that they are pushing classic variant to tide over the chip shortages. Otherwise doesn't make sense to introduce a variant with 25k gap.

Chips could then be used for slavia.

Skoda Kushaq prices now start at Rs 9.99 lakh, with the introduction of New entry-level Active Peace variant.





Active Peace variant misses out on the touchscreen infotainment system and speakers that are standard on the Active variant.

I was able to check out the Monte Carlo version at a dealership yard today. The car looks sportier & bulkier than its brethren. In features, apart from updated allows, red stitching & inserts in the cabin (which I did not like and is just like Taigun) & digital cockpit, I noticed that the roof liner has also been updated. It looks and feels much nicer than the present one.

Did you check with dealership or service center. Service centers are usually happy to if they can. But there are many integrations, camera, mid, steering controls. Any clue on the quote.

Does the Kushaq/Taigun/Slavia/Virtus (basically all MQB-A0-IN vehicles) come with a rear ARB (anti roll bar) , alongwith the rear torsion beam ?

I checked with the dealership as of now & they informed that they will install only Active variant system as & when it is made available from Skoda. The price quoted for this system is approx. 30K.
They didn't have quotes for Ambition system & installation as they stated that its not possible.

I will try to ask in service centers as well in Bangalore.

Monte Carlo looks super cool. Hope they also get in white, that will surely be a looker.
