Mladá Boleslav, 30 April 2026 – In the first quarter of 2026, Škoda Auto continued its growth trajectory and became Europe’s second best-selling car brand*, delivering 222,500 vehicles (+17.1%) and significantly outperforming the overall market. Worldwide deliveries to customers rose 14.0% year on year to 271,900 vehicles. This performance was driven largely by the all-electric Elroq and Enyaq, which ranked second and fifth respectively among the best-selling BEVs in Europe. Škoda Auto also delivered solid financial results, with revenue of €7.9 billion (+9.1%), a record-high operating profit of €660 million (+20.9%) marking the strongest first-quarter result in the company’s history, a return on sales of 8.3%, and net cash flow of €867 million (+64.4%). These results were supported by a broad, modern model line-up, strict cost discipline, and synergies within the Volkswagen Group and Brand Group Core. Beyond Europe, Škoda also recorded continued growth in India (17,400 vehicles; +16.7%), Morocco (1,700 vehicles; +45.0%) and Egypt (1,600 vehicles; +58.5%).

Mladá Boleslav, 16 April 2026 – Škoda Auto is returning to Milan Design Week after a successful debut in 2025 to present a unique artistic brand exhibition at Palazzo del Senato. Combining art and innovation, the creative concept introduces visitors to Škoda’s current design approach. The exhibition and large-scale installations, created by Spanish architect and artist Ricardo Orts, founder of Ulises Studio, draw on the playfulness and curiosity associated with modelling clay – the central motif of the global marketing campaign for the upcoming Škoda Epiq. The electric compact crossover, while still camouflaged, will also form part of the exhibition.
