Skoda Auto India announced the sale of over 100,000th vehicles in the last two years, marking a new milestone for the company. The sales figure is significant and is a result of the super success of the Kushaq and Slavia cars built on the MQB-A0-IN platform. A clean slate for Skoda in India, the new platform cars have been well accepted and continue to bring strong demand for the automaker. Notably, the Kushaq and Slavia helped Skoda to hit the one lakh sales milestone in just two years, which the company previously took six years to reach.

Skoda also revealed that it sold 48,755 units in the 2023 calendar year between January 1 and December 31. The number though was lower than 2022 when the company sold 53,721 units in a single year. However, the company attributed the marginal decline to “supply issues and related constraints." Furthermore, Skoda Auto registered a 100 per cent jump in sales of the Kodiaq in 2023, recording an all-time high sales volume.
