Skoda Auto India has taken a stylish leap with the launch of the Elegance Editions for the Kushaq and Slavia models, featuring an exclusive Deep Black color. Following recent upgrades to both cars, the Elegance Editions are positioned as limited, special variants and come exclusively with the potent 1.5 TSI engine.
Petr Šolc, Brand Director, Skoda Auto India, stated, “The aesthetics, body color, and cosmetic aspects of the new Elegance editions will appeal to customers with a keen design sense while continuing to offer immense value and pride of ownership.”
Design and Features
The Elegance Editions stand out with the all-new Deep Black paint, complemented by rich chrome elements. Additional design enhancements include a Chrome Lower Door Garnish, a calligraphic ‘Elegance’ inscription on the B-pillars, and model-specific alloy wheels.
Inside the cabin, the ‘Elegance’ badge on the steering wheel and sporty aluminum pedals greet the driver. Customers will also enjoy attractive textile mats and ‘Elegance’ branded cushions, seat-belt cushions, and neck rests, adding both utility and aesthetics to the interior.
Exclusivity and Power
These special editions are exclusively powered by the 1.5 TSI turbo-petrol engine, providing customers with the option to choose between a 7-speed DSG automatic or a 6-speed manual transmission. Škoda Auto India plans to manufacture a limited number of Elegance Edition Kushaq and Slavia models, maintaining exclusivity for the fortunate owners.
Equipment and Safety
Building on recent feature additions, the Elegance Editions boast electric seats for the driver and co-driver, an illuminated footwell area, and a 25.4 cm infotainment screen with Škoda Play Apps. Safety remains a priority, with both the Kushaq and Slavia having earned a full 5-star rating for adults and children under Global NCAP’s stringent crash-test protocols.
Engine Innovation
The Elegance Editions are powered exclusively by the state-of-the-art 1.5 TSI engine, featuring advanced technologies such as variable vane geometry in the turbocharger and Active Cylinder Technology (ACT). The engine delivers 110 kW (150 PS) of power and 250 Nm of torque while ensuring fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
