Skoda’s All-New Sub-4M SUV – The small SUV segment houses the fiercest competition in India, and every car maker looks to get its share of the pie. Now, Skoda shall enter this field with an entirely new small sub-4 m SUV, which has custom built for Indian conditions, and will be launched in 2025 as a part of the India 2.5 plan of the company. This model will fight against the Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, and Kia Sonet. Given Skoda’s pedigree regarding premium design, strong build quality, and robust engines behind it, this new SUV could potentially turn out to be among the most exciting launches of 2025.
New Design
This is the new compact SUV from Skoda, which will be decorated with the typical Skoda signature of sharp edges, clean lines, and a premium European appearance. Expect a bold new front grille, crystal-cut LED headlamps, and a strong upright stance, which gives an imposing road presence to the SUV. While most of the sub-four-meter-length SUVs get on with bizarre styling cues or give fanciful curves, this is the route that Skoda will probably take with an elegant yet sophisticated design. For the insides, Skoda’s hallmark would find expression in soft-touch materials, chic design, and a cabin ambience that is a class above its actual space.
TSI Engine Performance Power
As mentioned, Skoda’s biggest ace would be its peppy TSI turbo-petrol engine line-up, consisting of a 1.0 L TSI and possibly a higher 1.5 L TSI in the top trims-elaborated upon imminently. Historically, these engines have been known to achieve high acceleration and have been fuel-efficient while driving smoothly. If Skoda plonks in the 1.5 TSI, this vehicle would instantly become the strongest in the entire segment.
In addition, multiple transmission configurations, such as a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed torque converter, and a 7-speed DSG, would give customers the empowerment of choice based on whether they want performance or comfort.

Feature With Modern Tech Hardware
Expect the 2025 Skoda compact SUV to be brimming with features demanded by the Indian customer. A large screen infotainment system will be included. It will have wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, a fully digital instrument cluster, ventilated seats, a premium sound system, cruise control, wireless charging, and automatic climate control. Skoda may also have AVT technologies, like hill hold and electronic stability control, adding a possible Level-1 ADAS in top trims for a clear advantage over many competitors.
Stronger Safety
Safety is always a forte for Skoda. It is expected from this new SUV to exhibit a very solid body structure along with a good number of airbags, ABS, ESC, traction control, and ISOFIX mounts. Because of such features, expectations are very high to achieve a very fine crash-test rating, as safety is now among the most sought-after features among Indian buyers. This two-wheeler is to be built according to the international variety of Skoda in build quality, ensuring that this model will stand out in the corporate crowd, wherein some competitors are known not to fortify themselves against structural strength.

The SUV will be launching towards the end of 2025, priced competitively to attract entry-level clients and first-time buyers. If Skoda can provide superior quality, powerful engines, and other features that offer substance at competitive prices, this SUV might be one huge disappointment to the compact SUV segment. With a rise in growing interest in the brand in India and renewed investment in localisation, the Skoda sub-four still looks good to be one of the awaited launches in 2025.
