Skoda has unveiled the new Sportline trims for its popular models, the Slavia and Kushaq, in conjunction with the launch of the Monte Carlo edition. The Sportline variant brings several cosmetic upgrades, similar to the Monte Carlo, while also offering a range of new features. This article highlights the key design and feature enhancements of both the sedan and SUV.
Skoda Slavia and Kushaq Sportline: A Closer Look
The Sportline trim has been introduced based on customer feedback and is positioned just below the Monte Carlo editions. Despite being a mid-level option, it includes many of the same cosmetic changes found in the top-tier models. These enhancements include blacked-out design elements across key exterior components like the grille, scuff plates, ORVMs (outside rearview mirrors), window surrounds, roof rails, taillights, and an aerodynamic kit that adds a sleek, sporty touch.
The Slavia Sportline rides on stylish 16-inch black alloy wheels, while the Kushaq Sportline ups the ante with larger 17-inch black alloys, adding to its bold road presence.
Interior and Features
The interior of the Sportline variants is equally impressive, featuring a range of premium enhancements. Key features include an electric sunroof, six airbags for added safety, rain-sensing wipers, an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror (IRVM), and a connectivity dongle for smart device integration.
Skoda also rolled out an initial offer for the first 5,000 buyers of the Sportline variants, providing benefits of up to Rs. 30,000. However, the duration of this offer was limited, so customers are encouraged to check with local dealerships for current promotions.
Powertrain Options
Under the hood, the Sportline variants come equipped with Skoda’s 1.0-litre TSI engine, delivering 115bhp of power and 178Nm of torque. This engine is paired with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission, providing drivers with flexibility based on their preferences.
For those seeking more power, Skoda also offers a 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine, which generates 148bhp and 250Nm of peak torque. This more robust engine is paired with a seven-speed DSG transmission, ensuring a smooth and dynamic driving experience.
In summary, Skoda’s new Sportline variants for the Slavia and Kushaq combine stylish cosmetic upgrades with enhanced features, providing customers with a more engaging and dynamic driving experience. Whether you prefer the sleek sedan or the bold SUV, the Sportline trim offers an attractive mid-level option with excellent powertrain choices.
