The entry of the kylaq
The biggest reason for Skoda’s growth is its new compact SUV, the kylaq. Launched in December 2024, this car is the company’s most affordable offering. It quickly won the hearts of the people, with over 34,500 units sold so far. This has brought the company’s total sales to 53,355 units in the first nine months of 2025. In addition to the kylaq, Skoda’s Kushaq, Slavia, and Kodiaq have also consistently provided strong support. This means the company has impressed customers with its products across every segment.
GST 2.0 and the Festive Season Benefits
The implementation of the GST 2.0 tax slab in India and the start of the festive season have further boosted Skoda’s sales. Customers are now receiving more affordable prices and significant discounts, leading to increased footfall at showrooms. Skoda currently has 315 outlets spread across 177 cities. This vast network and attractive offers are proving to be a game-changer for the company.
