Slavia Anniversary Edition, Kushaq Lava Blue Edition: what’s new?
The main addition to Slavia Anniversary Editon is the return of the 10-inch touchscreen paired with a 380W speaker system. This infotainment system was discontinued last year in the Kushaq and Slavia due to global semiconductor shortage. However, Skoda reintroduced it in the Kushaq Anniversary Edition and Kushaq Monte Carlo last year itself.
In the Kushaq Lava Blue Edition, Skoda has also added puddle lamps that also project the Skoda logo.
Both cars get front and rear mudflaps, chrome finish on the grille and chrome garnish on the doors and trunk. While the Slavia gets Anniversary Edition badging on the C-pillar, the Kushaq gets Edition badges on the B-pillar. Furthermore, both also get the Lava Blue colour that is available on the Kodaiq, Octavia and Superb. This is the first time this colour is available on Skoda’s India 2.0 models.
On the inside, the Slavia gets Anniversary Edition inscribed on the scuff plate, steering wheel and pillows. The Kushaq gets the same but has Edition inscribed on the scuff plate and pillows.
