Mangaluru, Jul 19: Škoda continues to strengthen its presence in the Indian automotive market, emerging as a preferred choice among car buyers, particularly in coastal Karnataka. Models like the Škoda Kushaq, Slavia, Kodiaq, and the newly launched Kylaq have significantly contributed to the brand's impressive sales performance in recent years.
In a remarkable achievement, Škoda Auto India recorded its highest-ever half-yearly sales in the first half of 2025, with 36,194 vehicles sold reflecting a robust 134% growth compared to the same period in 2024.
A major contributor to this success has been the all-new sub-4-metre SUV, the Škoda Kylaq. Since its launch, the Kylaq has gained tremendous popularity, with over 200 bookings already registered in the Mangaluru alone. This SUV has quickly become one of the most sought-after vehicles due to its outstanding comfort, refined driving experience, and feature-rich offerings.
Nationally, Škoda has delivered 20,000 units of the Kylaq in just the first half of 2025. Meanwhile, its popular compact SUV, the Kushaq, continues its successful run with over 90,000 units delivered under the brand's India 2.0 initiative.
Škoda Auto has also been expanding its retail footprint across India. The brand now operates in 169 cities with nearly 300 dealerships, reflecting its commitment to making its vehicles more accessible. Company officials have emphasized that this milestone is a testament to the growing consumer trust and confidence in Škoda's high-quality products and after-sales service.
The Kylaq has been especially appreciated for striking a perfect balance between daily practicality and long-term reliability. Even in dense city traffic, the Kylaq stands out with its superior speed control, smooth handling, and top-tier safety features. It comes loaded with premium amenities, making it not only convenient to drive but also comfortable for passengers. A standard three-year warranty adds further peace of mind for buyers.
