Now, for the uninitiated, the Monte Carlo edition of cars from Skoda pays homage to the company's legacy and pedigree in motorsport and rallying, and this treatment is always given to Skoda's special cars. Considering the Kushaq has been the best-selling Skoda model in India, it was a no-brainer to bring in the Monte Carlo version of the compact SUV. The SUV come with the Monte Carlo badging on the front fenders, and it is offered in two colour options - Tornado Red and Candy White.
