Skoda
- ŠKODA is adding the popular MONTE CARLO
trim level to its new SCALA compact car portfolio. It acts as a homage to the carmaker's
successful rally history and lends the dynamic SCALA an even sportier appearance thanks
to striking black features and black 'ŠKODA' lettering on the tailgate.
Oliver Stefani, Head of ŠKODA Design, pointed out that, "With the new MONTE CARLO variant
we are emphasising the sporty and dynamic character of the ŠKODA SCALA even further. The black
details, large alloy wheels and illustrious name link back to our successful rally cars and appeal even
more to a target group of younger customers who value sportiness and an emotive, lifestyle-oriented
design."
Numerous black design elements lend the dynamic ŠKODA SCALA MONTE CARLO an even sportier
appearance. The frame surrounding the distinctive ŠKODA radiator grille positioned between the full
LED headlights comes in gloss black, as do sections of the revised front apron. The SCALA was the
first ŠKODA production model on the European market to bear 'ŠKODA' lettering on the centre of the
tailgate instead of the ŠKODA logo. This is also gloss-black (or chrome as an option) for the
SCALA MONTE CARLO
The ŠKODA SCALA MONTE CARLO, which is available with any of the engines in the portfolio,
boasts tinted rear window and rear side windows (SunSet) as well as a panoramic roof and
an extended rear window including a black roof spoiler - all as standard. A gloss-black rear diffuser,
gloss-black model lettering and full LED tail lights round off the sporty appearance of the new
top-of-the-range SCALA variant.
Sports seats and leather detailing refine the interior
The interior of the ŠKODA SCALA MONTE CARLO is also particularly dynamic. The sport seats with
integrated headrests are height-adjustable and have special MONTE CARLO covers. Instrument panel
features its own design. The multifunction sports steering wheel is clad in perforated leather that, just
like the leather on the gearstick knob and handbrake lever, is adorned with red decorative stitching.
The LED ambient lighting is coloured to match, bathing the centre console in red light (or optional
in white light). Footwell, storage compartments in the doors, and door handles are illuminated
as well, however in the standard white light. The air vents in the dashboard and decorative trims offer
a selection of two different designs. The interior also includes LED reading lights. Aluminium pedal
covers, SCALA lettering on the door sills and a black roof lining complete the sporty atmosphere
in the interior.
