Škoda Auto India recorded its best-ever sales year in 2025, selling 72,665 units — a staggering 107% growth over the previous year. This is the highest annual sales figure in Škoda India’s 25-year history, driven by the runaway success of the Kylaq and a growing network of dealerships across the country.
As one of the longest-serving Škoda dealers in Tamil Nadu, Gurudev Motors has been part of this incredible growth story since 2005.
The Numbers That Tell the Story
| Metric | 2024 | 2025 | Growth |

| Annual Sales (India) | 35,166 | 72,665 | +107% |

What Is Driving This Growth?
1. The Kylaq Effect
The Škoda Kylaq, launched in late 2024, single-handedly transformed Škoda’s position in India. With a starting price under Rs 8 lakh, 5-star safety, and European build quality, the Kylaq attracted a whole new segment of buyers who previously considered Škoda out of reach. Over 43,000 Kylaq units were sold in 2025 alone, and the model crossed the 50,000 production milestone in early 2026.
2. Complete 5-Star Safety Lineup
Škoda is the only mainstream brand in India where every model in the lineup carries a 5-star crash test rating. The Kylaq, Kushaq, and Slavia all hold 5-star ratings — a fact that resonates strongly with safety-conscious Indian families.
3. Expanded Dealer Network
Škoda expanded its presence to 318 customer touchpoints across 180 cities, with over 7,500 trained service professionals. In Tamil Nadu, Gurudev Motors operates 5 showrooms and 5 service centres across Chennai, Trichy, Vellore, and Thanjavur.
What Is Coming in 2026?
Škoda India has announced 10 product actions for 2026, including:
- Kushaq Facelift — Launching March 2026 with new design, features, and 8-speed AT
