Skoda just dropped the MY25 versions of the Kushaq and Slavia, adding a few subtle refreshes to keep things fresh. But there’s more—right after the reveal, they quietly slapped on a price hike. No, not on the entire lineup, but only on select paint options. Whether you’re into mono-tone or dual-tone finishes, some colours will now cost you an extra ₹10,000. Let’s break it down so you don’t get caught off guard at the dealership.
Update
This price hike doesn’t affect the entire car, just the exterior paint. Specific colours across different variants have seen a uniform price rise of ₹10,000. And no, there are no added features or tech upgrades with this hike—it’s purely about how your car looks. Basically, your favourite colour might now come at a small premium.
Classic
Starting with the Classic variant—the most affordable one in the range—only one paint option sees the price jump. If you’re eyeing the Lava Blue finish, prepare to pay ₹10,000 more than the standard colours. The other colour options remain unchanged in this variant.
Signature
Moving up the ladder, the Signature variant has a wider set of affected colours. Lava Blue again makes the list, but it’s joined by Deep Black and Carbon Steel Matte. All three of these now carry the same ₹10,000 extra cost. So if you’re after a more premium or stealthy look, be ready to stretch the budget just a bit.
Sportline
This is where the price hike gets more noticeable. The Sportline variant now has seven colours affected by the ₹10,000 price bump. These include mono-tone shades like Lava Blue, Deep Black, and Carbon Steel Matte. On the dual-tone side, Brilliant Silver, Lava Blue, Candy White, and Tornado Red all get the same price treatment.
Here’s a summary:
| Variant | Affected Colours | Price Hike |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | Lava Blue | ₹10,000 |
| Signature | Lava Blue, Deep Black, Carbon Steel Matte | ₹10,000 |
| Sportline | 3 mono-tones + 4 dual-tone shades | ₹10,000 |
MonteCarlo
With the Monte Carlo trim, the premium paint options getting pricier are Carbon Steel Matte, Brilliant Silver dual-tone, and Lava Blue dual-tone. These colours already give off a sportier, upscale vibe—Skoda’s charging a bit more for the style statement.
Prestige
The Prestige variant shares the same list of affected dual-tone shades as Monte Carlo. If you’re looking at Carbon Steel Matte, Lava Blue dual-tone, or Brilliant Silver dual-tone for this variant, it’s the same ₹10,000 markup.
To wrap it up, Skoda’s targeting this price revision strategically. Instead of increasing the cost of the entire lineup, they’re focusing on what’s in demand—premium colours. From a business perspective, it’s clever. For buyers, though, it means double-checking colour prices before finalizing that purchase. So if you had your heart set on one of those stylish shades, just know you’ll need to dig a little deeper into your wallet.
