About Skoda
Simply Clever to "Let's Explore"
Founded in 1895 as Laurin & Klement, Škoda is one of the world's oldest car manufacturers. In India, the brand has evolved from a premium niche player to a mass-market contender. Under its new brand philosophy
"Let's Explore," Škoda focuses on creating vehicles that serve as bold companions for everyday explorers, characterized by the new "Modern Solid" design language and smart, practical features.
The India 2.0 Hub (Pune)
Škoda leads the Volkswagen Group’s activities in the Indian subcontinent. Its manufacturing backbone is the state-of-the-art facility in
Chakan, Pune. This plant is the home of the highly localized
MQB-A0-IN platform, a chassis specifically engineered to meet India's diverse road conditions and cost structures while maintaining global quality standards. The facility also serves as a major export hub for ASEAN and Middle Eastern markets.
The 2026 Product Offensive
Škoda’s portfolio is currently the freshest it has been in decades, targeting high-growth segments with precision:
- Kylaq: The brand’s latest blockbuster. This sub-4 meter SUV brings Škoda’s driving dynamics and safety to the most competitive segment in India, offering a "big car" feel in a compact footprint.
- Kushaq: The mid-size SUV that turned the brand's fortunes around. The 2026 model continues to be a benchmark for handling and build quality, now updated with enhanced features.
- Slavia: A premium sedan that keeps the elegance of the three-box design alive. Known for its powerful 1.5 TSI engine, it offers a true enthusiast's driving experience.
- Kodiaq: The luxury flagship 4x4 SUV. The new generation offers limousine-like space combined with rugged capability, catering to India’s elite.
- Enyaq (Upcoming): Škoda remains committed to an electric future, with the Enyaq iV set to be its first premium EV offering in India, imported to showcase the brand’s technological prowess.
A Benchmark in Safety
Škoda Auto India holds a unique record: it is the only manufacturer in India to have a fleet of
crash-tested 5-star rated cars (Global NCAP) for both adult and child occupancy. Whether it's the Slavia or the Kushaq, safety is not an option but a standard, reinforced by a 4-year/100,000 km warranty that ensures peace of mind for every owner.
