Ahead of the launch of the new Kushaq Monte Carlo, Skoda has quietly introduced two new variants to the Kushaq line-up. The first of the two new variants is the new Ambition Classic variant sitting below the standard Ambition trim. Available with the 1.0 TSI engine with manual and automatic gearbox options, it is positioned between Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 50,000 lower than the Ambition and gets some cosmetic and feature differences. The second new variant, as per dealers, is called the Kushaq Active Peace and is positioned below the regular Kushaq Active trim.
Starting with the Ambition Classic, the variant gets a contrast finish to the roof foil and some revised chrome detailing to help stand out. On the inside, it gets new suede upholstery along with missing out on features such as auto climate control and MySkoda connected car technology. The new Ambition Classic is priced at Rs. 12.69 lakh for the manual and Rs. 14.09 lakh for the automatic.
As per dealers, the new Kushaq Active Peace is only available as a manual with the 1.0 TSI engine. Priced at Rs. 9.99 lakh, the variant is priced about Rs. 1.20 lakh lower than the standard Active variant and misses out on the touchscreen infotainment system and speakers. The remainder of the features are the same as the regular Active variant
