Mladá Boleslav, 2 February 2026 – In 2025, 1,065,000 Škoda vehicles were produced worldwide, representing a year-on-year increase of 15%. In addition, the carmaker built more than 329,000 battery systems for Škoda electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, as well as for other Volkswagen Group models, along with more than 1,030,000 transmissions and over 500,000 engines. At the Czech carmaker’s main plant in Mladá Boleslav, 605,600 Škoda vehicles rolled off the production line (year-on-year +4.9%). Due to high demand and flexibility in production, Škoda’s all-electric compact SUV Elroq reached the mark of 112,500 units built since series production started in January 2025; the larger all-electric SUV Enyaq followed with around 77,000 units. In Vietnam, a new plant was opened with partner Thanh Cong Group: the Slavia and Kushaq models are assembled here from completely knocked down (CKD) kits supplied from India, where output also rose significantly due to the high demand for the Kylaq SUV.

Mladá Boleslav/Kochi, 20 January 2026 – Škoda Auto India has introduced the updated Kushaq in the key Indian market. Featuring segment-first technologies – including an all-new eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission and a Rear Seat Massage function – together with additional features and standard equipment, the model follows Škoda Auto India’s principle of making European engineering more accessible on Indian roads. The updated Kushaq builds on the success of its predecessor, which sold more than 94,900 units and is exported to growth markets such as Vietnam, the Middle East, and Africa. This will further support the brand in establishing India as its second strong pillar outside its European home market.

Mladá Boleslav, 19 January 2026 – Škoda Auto delivered 1,043,900 vehicles to customers worldwide (+12.7%), recording its strongest sales performance in the past six years. In Europe (EU 27+4), Škoda delivered 836,200 vehicles (+9.9%), for the first time becoming the third best-selling car brand in its core market. A key driver of this performance was the success of Škoda’s BEV and PHEV models: one in four Škoda models (25.7%) were delivered with a plug. Additionally, strong demand for the Elroq and Enyaq lifted Škoda to fourth place among Europe’s electric vehicle manufacturers. Germany remains Škoda’s largest market, with 211,100 deliveries (+12.8%), followed by the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, India and Poland. The Octavia, Kodiaq, Kamiq, Fabia and Karoq were the best-selling models. Momentum also continued with internationalisation; deliveries in India almost doubled to 70,600 vehicles (+96.1%), while production of the Slavia and Kushaq began in Vietnam. 2026 will see two new electric models: the urban crossover Epiq and the seven-seater family SUV Peaq will double Škoda’s all-electric portfolio.
