The Anniversary Edition is based on the Kushaq’s Style variant, demanding Rs 30,000 extra. Here’s the variant-wise price:

What’s New?

The Kushaq Anniversary Edition gets a handful of cosmetic upgrades including a lower chrome garnish, door end garnish, the ‘Anniversary Edition’ foil on the C-pillar, and an exclusive badging. Since it’s based on the Style variant, you already get 17-inch alloys, LED headlamps, several chrome highlights, and roof rails. 

In terms of features, the Anniversary Edition gains a 10-inch touchscreen system with a 6-speaker sound system and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The same touchscreen unit was replaced by a smaller 8-inch unit in the rest of the variants and is now equipped with the Monte Carlo edition. 

Other features include an electric sunroof, automatic AC, cruise control, wireless charging, an 8-inch digital driver’s display (the Virtual Cockpit), paddle shifters, up to six airbags, a rear parking camera, and TPMS. 

An Anniversary Edition Accessory Kit’s There Too!

With this edition, Skoda will also give exclusive accessories including chrome ribs for the grille, door wind visor, curtain pillow, mud flap, 3D rubber mat, neck pillow, body cover, car key cover, and sunblinds for an additional cost of Rs 9,500.
