Mumbai, July 1, 2025 – The Czech brand known for its razor-sharp grilles and sharp-witted ads has just added another feather to its bonnet — Škoda Auto India has clocked its highest-ever half-yearly sales with a revved-up 36,194 units sold between January and June 2025. That’s a jaw-dropping 134% growth over the same period last year. If Škoda had an odometer for achievements, it would’ve spun like a DJ on a Saturday night.
And there’s more — the brand has zoomed ahead in the popularity charts, vaulting into the Top 7 carmakers in India. That’s four positions up in just one year — the kind of jump even rally cars would envy.
🔧 From Octavia Dreams to Kylaq Reality
As Škoda celebrates its 25th year in India and 130 years globally, it’s not just blowing out candles — it’s blowing up charts. The launch of the Kylaq, its first sub-4m SUV, has clearly struck the right chord with Indian buyers who love their style with a side of practicality. Whether you’re in the fast lanes of Mumbai or the narrow gallis of Indore, the Kylaq has become everyone’s new compact crush.
In parallel, the second-gen Kodiaq luxury 4×4 is flexing its European muscle across Indian highways. And with the ever-dependable Kushaq and the suave Slavia sedan holding fort, Škoda now boasts a portfolio that says: Pick your flavour of Czech delight.
🏁 More Showrooms. More Škodas. More Swagger.
From just 120 touchpoints in 2021 to 295 (and counting) in 2025, Škoda is doing more outreach than your clingy ex. With a target of 350 touchpoints by year-end, the brand’s “Closer to the Customer” philosophy is now more literal than ever.
And while the cars are racking up numbers, the after-sales peace of mind is the cherry on top. From best-in-class warranties to complimentary Škoda Supercare packages that push your first service bill well into year two — owning a Škoda today is practically like having a Czech uncle who pays your bills.
🎙️ Official Word (with Zero Brake Puns, Surprisingly)
Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, said,
“Our landmark half-yearly sales reflect the strong acceptance of Škoda products and services by customers in India… This achievement encourages us to stay focused on being relevant through timely product actions, offer unique value to our customers… and to continue building trust with an unmatched ownership experience.”
(Translation: We’re killing it, and we’re only getting started.)
🏎️ Legacy, But Make It Turbocharged
With turbo-petrol tech across the board, a growing SUV family, and sedans that still make hearts skip a beat, Škoda is proving that you can build a legacy and have fun while doing it. And with a “global icon” teased for launch soon — let’s just say, the second half of 2025 might need an even bigger scoreboard.
If 2022 was a good year, and 2024 was a warm-up, then 2025 is Škoda’s full-bore turbocharged lap of honour. One that comes with more dealerships, more milestones, and way more Kylaqs per kilometre.
Škoda’s not just back — it’s shifting into overachiever mode.
