Most premium cars these days are available in a corporate edition version, which is stripped of all or most luxury features and comes at a discounted price. Now Skoda Auto India has also launched a cheaper, stripped down version of the Laura, namely Laura classic.
The new base petrol variant with a 1.8-litre TSi engine will retail for Rs 11.99 lakh ex-showroom Delhi and would not have many goodies available otherwise on the tech laden Laura. The features that would be taken off to reduce the price are
• Rear parking sensors
• Auto climate control
• Leather wrapped steering wheel
• Fog lamps
• Lumbar support
• Central arm rest at front
• AC vents for the backseat
• Storage compartment below the front seat
• Alloy wheels
• 6 CD changer is now replaced by a single CD player
