Following the success of its India 2.0 program, Skoda India is now preparing to launch up to five new cars in the country for buyers seeking premium and powerful vehicles. According to what we know so far, Skoda will soon launch up to five new cars in India as part of their India 2.5 campaign, and here is everything you need to know about the upcoming Skoda cars in India.
Skoda’s portfolio in the country is expected to grow with the introduction of the new Skoda Superb, Skoda Enyaq EV, and Skoda Octavia RS iV. Unlike in the past, the Skoda Superb and the new Octavia RS iV will be imported into India via the CKD (completely knocked down) or CBU (completely built unit) route.
The company has yet to comment on the total allocation of these sedans for the Indian market, but it is expected to increase the total number of units of the Kodiaq SUV brought into the country next year.
Next Gen Slavia and Kushaq
Moving on, the Czech automaker is also expected to launch the updated Slavia and Kushaq SUVs in the country soon. Both of these vehicles were introduced in the country as part of the India 2.0 programme, and they entice buyers with their feature-rich interiors and powerful powertrain options.
The Skoda Slavia competes against the Hyundai Verna and the Honda City, while the Skoda Kushaq competes against the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder.
Skoda is also said to be developing a new compact vehicle to compete with the Hyundai Venue, Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, and Mahindra XUV300. This new SUV is expected to be based on the MQB AO IN platform and powered by the 1.0L TSI engine found in Slavia and Kushaq in India. The brand will soon release more information ahead of the launch late next year.
