With established rivals as well as several new players dominating the field of play, the Czech manufacturer plans to hit big and introduce five new and updated cars in 2020.
The decision to bring in the cars was made by Zac Hollis Director - Sales, Service and Marketing, Skoda Auto India, on Twitter on Tuesday. "So here we are first day back in the office and a big year ahead for Skoda in India with 5 new or updated models to be launched this year. As always you will get the first news here," he wrote on his feed.
