Škoda Auto India has marked a significant achievement in its 25th year in the country by crossing the milestone of 500,000 units sold. This landmark moment arrives as the brand records one of its strongest years ever, supported by consistent month-on-month momentum and growing customer trust. In November 2025 alone, Škoda Auto India sold 5,491 units, registering an impressive 90% year-on-year growth compared to the same period last year.
The company attributes this continued success to an expanding network, customer-centric ownership experiences, and a product portfolio that appeals to a diverse range of Indian buyers. Ashish Gupta, Brand Director of Škoda Auto India, expressed that their growing footprint, value-driven offerings, and robust lineup have been key contributors to both the 5 lakh cumulative sales and the company’s steady growth trajectory.
The brand’s strong foundation in India was built on its sedan legacy. The Octavia, a nameplate with 130 years of global brand heritage and 25 years in India, continues to be an icon. A highlight of the anniversary year was the return of the Octavia RS, which saw overwhelming enthusiasm with every unit allocated to India being sold out within just 20 minutes of bookings opening. Complementing this heritage is the Slavia sedan, available in both 1.0 TSI and 1.5 TSI variants, contributing to Škoda’s strong presence in the sedan segment.
In the SUV category, Škoda Auto India offers a wide range of options from INR 7.5 lakh to Rs 45.9 lakh, appealing to customers across various aspirations. The premium Kodiaq 4×4 continues to maintain its position as a unique luxury offering in its segment. The Kushaq, built on the India-focused MQB-A0-IN platform, not only blends comfort and performance but also became the first car in India to receive a full five-star rating for both adult and child occupants under Global NCAP’s updated safety norms.
Adding to this safety legacy is the Kylaq SUV, which has secured a five-star rating in Bharat NCAP’s safety tests. With over 320 customer touchpoints across 180 cities, Škoda Auto India’s network expansion further strengthens its connection with customers across the country.
As the brand continues to broaden its offerings and customer engagement initiatives, it remains poised for sustained growth, solidifying its journey through what is shaping up to be its biggest and most successful year in India.
