MAW Expanze Pvt. Ltd., the authorized distributor of Skoda in Nepal, has officially started the sales of the new Skoda Kushaq Monte Carlo edition in Nepal. The price of Kushaq Monte Carlo for manual and automatic transmission is Rs 71,90,000 and Rs 79, 90,000, respectively.

The new Kushaq Monte Carlo gets visual changes in the form of blacked-out bits and red accents in the cabin, along with add-ons to the feature list. The new Kushaq Monte Carlo is available in two colors: Tornado Red or Candy White. All the chrome has been replaced with a black finish, like the grille, ORVMs, and other cosmetic bits to lend the Kushaq a sportier look. The Kushaq continues to be powered by the same 1.0 TSI petrol engine that produces a power of 114 HP and torque of 178Nm.

The wheels are 17-inch alloys, with a design similar to that of the Skoda Octavia RS 245. The fenders get Monte Carlo badging instead of the company’s name, while the roof is offered in a carbon steel finish with matte black roof rails.

Inside, Skoda has now introduced an 8-inch digital instrument cluster for the Kushaq Monte Carlo with a red theme to go with the overall package. The layout of the cabin has not been altered. However, there are ruby-red metallic inserts in the cabin to give it a sporty feel. The seat upholstery is also a mix of red and black, with Monte Carlo stitched on the headrests. Other features include red ambient lighting and a 10-inch infotainment display with a red theme. As the Monte Carlo edition is based on the top trim, all the features offered with the Kushaq Style are also available.

“The Kushaq Monte Carlo is a car that appeals to the heart, to one willing to go the extra mile for the unique, subtle and sporty aesthetics. The Monte Carlo highlights a discrete sense of European style. It is homage to the fact that you are driving a name soaked in pedigree and legacy of rally sport, providing a thrilling experience,” said Raunak Agarwal, Executive Director of MAW Expanze.

The new Skoda Kushaq Monte Carlo is available for a test drive and booking at the Skoda showroom, Thapathali and dealers’ yard.
