New Delhi: With the arrival of the new year, auto companies have begun increasing the prices of their cars.

The Slavia Monte Carlo 1.0 automatic has seen a price increase of up to ₹33,690. The Monte Carlo with the 1.5-liter DSG has also seen a significant price increase. These variants are popular with buyers due to their sporty design and advanced features. The Monte Carlo 1.5 DSG has seen a price increase of ₹29,207, a clear indication of the price increase in the top variants.

Other variants like Prestige and Sportline have also seen a price hike, but to a lesser extent than the Monte Carlo. The Prestige 1.0 automatic has seen a price hike of ₹27,690, while the Sportline 1.5 DSG has seen a price hike of ₹25,897. The Prestige variant with the 1.5-litre DSG powertrain has also seen a price hike, but it is less than the Monte Carlo, at around ₹23,207. The Signature and Sportline variants with the 1.0-litre engine have seen a marginal increase of up to ₹16,586.
However, the prices of some variants have remained unchanged. For example, the base Classic 1.0 manual variant remains available at the same price. After this change, the ex-showroom prices of the Slavia now range from ₹10 lakh to ₹17.99 lakh. The sedan is offered with two turbo petrol engine options - a 1.0-liter TSI and a more powerful 1.5-liter TSI.

This increase will directly impact buyers' budgets, especially those looking to purchase the top-end variants. While the base variants are still available at the old price, the top models will now require a higher budget. Skoda's price increase has been made to account for inflation and the cost of new technology and features.
