Along with the new Kamiq Monte Carlo, Skoda is also offering the same treatment for the Scala, it compact model, already on the market for more than a year.

The new Scala Monte Carlo has an exterior design package that includes full LED headlights and tail lights, sport front bumper, extended tailgate glass, panoramic roof and black trim around the radiator grille. Like the Kamiq, the Scala Monte Carlo features a distinctive black rear diffuser, rear spoiler and black lettering across the tailgate. Striking 18-inch black Vega alloy wheels complete the exterior design package.

The Scala Monte Carlo’s interior mirrors that of the Kamiq and features an Amundsen infotainment system with 9.2-inch display, Virtual Cockpit, sports seats and a sports steering wheel. Monte Carlo owners also benefit from red ambient LED lighting, a black roof lining and leather pack with distinctive red stitching. Aluminium pedals, chrome surrounds on the air vents and door sills with Scala lettering completes the interior design package.

Scala Monte Carlo buyers can choose between two TSI petrol engines; a 1.0 TSI 115PS and 1.5 TSI 150PS, both of which can be specified with either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed DSG gearbox as an option. Positioned at the top of the range, Monte Carlo models are priced between £22,680 and £25,350 OTR. Order books for both models are open now with the first deliveries expected in Spring.
