Kushaq Sales to Rebound in 1-2 Months: Skoda India Chief

The Skoda Kushaq has experienced a decline in sales in recent months, largely due to the cannibalisation by the newly launched Kylaq, which shares similar underpinnings and features. Since its launch in March, the Kylaq has seen impressive growth, drawing customers away from its elder sibling. But Skoda Auto India Managing Director Ashish Gupta is confident that Kushaq will recapture its sales momentum in the next one or two months.

Gupta credited the slump to dealers getting accustomed to a new customer base brought about by the Kylaq. He stated that demand for the Kushaq is still high, but the dealers are on a learning curve to deal with two different buyer profiles. With this adjustment happening quickly under sales pressure, Gupta expressed confidence in the Kushaq’s recovery in the near future.
