The special edition features a couple of cosmetic changes including blacked-out design elements for the exterior and a new theme for the interior. In this article, we have detailed the special edition of the Slavia using 10 real life images: 

Skoda Slavia Monte Carlo: Design 

The Monte Carlo brings in dualtone red and black hues for the exterior, which look striking and appealing. All the chrome elements upfront have been dechromed and changed to black. The Monte Carlo treatment includes a blacked-out grille, black fog lamp garnish and a small black front lip. As seen on the standard Slavia, it gets LED DRLs and LED headlamps. 

In profile, it gets blacked-out 16-inch alloy wheels with red brake callipers for contrast. Further dialing up the sportiness quotient are the black side skirting, black ORVMs, and dark chrome accents for the door handles. You also get the “Monte Carlo” badging on the front fender. 

From the rear, you can notice the black lettering for the SKODA badge, and darkened LED tail lamps. Additionally you also get a tiny black trunk spoiler and a black bumper garnish which complete the overall sporty look of the sedan. 

The Monte Carlo edition comes in its unique red shade, but if you want the blacked out elements in a different colour, you can opt for the new Sportline variants. However, the Sportline is not available in the top-spec guise. To learn more about the Sportline variant, check out our story on the same.
