Mumbai, July 1, 2025 – Škoda Auto India is accelerating as it celebrates its 25th anniversary in India and its 130th anniversary globally. With 36,194 units sold in the first half of 2025, Škoda Auto has achieved its highest half-yearly sales in its 25-year history in India.

Our customers love to explore the world around them every day. With the addition of the Kylaq to our portfolio, we enable their journeys even more, offering an ‘SUV for Everyone’ as well as our sedan options. We aim to get ‘closer’ to our customers in India through our accessible products, services, and touchpoints across the country. This achievement encourages us to remain focused on being relevant through timely product initiatives, providing unique value to our customers by differentiating our offerings, and continuing to build trust with an unmatched ownership experience.”
Setting Sales Records
With sales of 36,194 units in H1 2025, Škoda Auto India is now among the top seven automotive brands in India, a jump of four positions from its 2024 ranking. This performance also surpasses Škoda Auto India’s previous half-yearly sales record of 28,899 units set in 2022.
SUVs For Everyone and Building the Sedan Legacy
Škoda Auto India began 2025 with the launch of the Kylaq, its first sub-4m SUV, providing a new entry point for customers into the Škoda family. This has helped the brand strengthen its presence in Tier 1 markets and expand further into Tier 2 and 3 cities. This was followed by the introduction of the all-new second-generation Kodiaq luxury 4×4. Together with the Kushaq, Škoda Auto India now offers a diverse range of SUVs tailored to meet various mobility needs across the country. The company continues to build on its sedan legacy with the Slavia sedan and an upcoming global icon soon to be introduced in India. Škoda Auto India also provides the most advanced range of automatic and direct injection turbocharged engines across its entire portfolio, delivering a convenient, comfortable, safe, and enjoyable mobility experience for customers.
Closer to Customers
Škoda Auto India has expanded its network from 120 touchpoints in 2021 to over 295 touchpoints today, to reach 350 touchpoints by the end of 2025. This reinforces the company’s commitment to providing a seamless customer experience throughout India.
To ensure peace of mind during ownership, Škoda Auto India offers class-leading standard warranties on all its products, along with a wide range of extended warranties and maintenance packages for customers to choose from. In addition, the Škoda Supercare maintenance package is now complimentary with every Škoda vehicle for one year.
This means that a Škoda owner’s first expense for routine service occurs only at the end of the second year of ownership or after 30,000 kilometres, whichever comes first.
