Skoda Kushaq and Slavia Prices Cut By Upto Rs. 2.2 Lakh

Czech car manufacturer Skoda has revised the prices of their star products, the Slavia sedan and Kushaq SUV. The prices of both the Slavia and Kushaq have been reduced by up to Rs 2.2 lakh for a limited period. This discount is part of the brand’s initiative to make the products more accessible to buyers. The price for the Slavia now starts at Rs 10.69 lakh, ex-showroom, and the price for the Kushaq starts at Rs 10.89 lakh, ex-showroom.

Speaking on the enhancement, Petr Janeba, Brand Director, Skoda Auto India, said:

We have been in India for nearly a quarter of a century, and our commitment to this market is absolute. We have always been looking at offering more in product and affiliated actions. Since the announcement of our all-new compact SUV planned for 2025, we have maintained that with this new car, we are targeting new markets, younger customers, and more accessibility to the brand. While the new compact SUV will open new markets for us, we have achieved some efficiencies in the Kushaq and the Slavia, which has enabled us to enhance the value in our offerings and pass on the benefits to our customers and fans.

Not only has Skoda lowered the price, but they have also adopted a new nomenclature for the variants. Earlier, the models were available as Active, Ambition, and Style. These have been replaced with Classic, Signature, and Prestige. Besides this, Skoda continues to offer the Monte Carlo and Onyx editions with the Kushaq.

Regarding the price drop, the entry-level Classic variant of the Skoda Kushaq SUV is now priced at Rs 10.89 lakh, ex-showroom. This is actually Rs 1.1 lakh cheaper than the older, now discontinued Active variant. Depending on the variant, model, and engine options, customers stand a chance to benefit by up to 10 percent.

The Prestige, now the top-end variant, is priced at Rs 16.09 lakh, ex-showroom, and goes up to Rs 18.79 lakh, ex-showroom. This is a considerable drop compared to the older top-end variant. The Monte Carlo variant is now positioned below the Prestige, and the price for the same starts at Rs 15.60 lakh, ex-showroom, and goes up to Rs 18.30 lakh, ex-showroom. The Monte Carlo DCT sees the biggest price drop, of a whopping Rs. 2.19 lakh. 

Just like the Kushaq, the Slavia has also seen a price drop. The sedan is available in three trims: Classic, Signature, and Prestige. The Classic variant of the Slavia is now Rs 94,000 cheaper than the older Active variant. Even the prices of the higher variants of this sedan have come down, making the car more accessible. The price for the new Slavia goes up to Rs 18.69 lakh, ex-showroom.

Engine Options

Both the Kushaq SUV and Slavia sedan from Skoda come with two petrol engine options. The lower variants get a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine that generates 115 PS and 178 Nm of peak torque. This engine is available with a 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission option. The higher variants get the 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine that generates 150 PS and 250 Nm of peak torque. This engine is available with a manual and 7-speed DSG transmission.

Upcoming Skoda

Skoda is also working on an entry-level SUV for the Indian market. The manufacturer teased us with the concept model of the sub-4 meter SUV some time ago. Skoda is extensively testing the SUV, and it has been spotted on our roads several times. It is expected to look like a baby Kushaq and will be launched in the market in 2025.
