Škoda Auto has produced its four-millionth SUV, confirming strong customer demand for this vehicle category. The brand’s first modern SUV was the Yeti, launched in 2009, and the line-up is now the largest in Škoda’s history, spanning seven model series worldwide: from the Indian-built sub-4-metre Kylaq and the Kushaq, through the Kamiq, Karoq and Kodiaq, to the fully electric Elroq and Enyaq, including the Enyaq Coupé. SUVs now account for roughly half of Škoda Auto’s total deliveries. Škoda SUVs are produced worldwide and, this year, assembly of the Kushaq from completely knocked down (CKD) kits from India began at a new plant in Vietnam.
Andreas Dick, Škoda Auto Board Member for Production and Logistics, said: “The success story of Škoda SUVs has reached another milestone – four million vehicles built is clear proof that our broad model range and global production network meet the diverse requirements of customers worldwide. From compact sub-4-metre SUVs to spacious seven-seaters, Škoda offers the right solution for a wide variety of needs. The growing community of Škoda SUV owners shows us that our product strategy resonates well with our customers and we are on the right track.” Škoda’s current portfolio comprises 12 model series, seven of them in the SUV segment. As a result, SUVs now account for more than 55% of the brand’s deliveries. In the first half of this year, SUVs were among Škoda’s best-selling models: the Kodiaq ranked second with 64,800 deliveries, followed by the compact Kamiq in third with 64,100 units sold. Some SUVs have only recently launched, and their full potential is yet to be reflected in the sales statistics. SUVs are also driving Škoda’s strong growth in India, where models are developed and manufactured to meet the needs of local customers. The second Indian model, the Kushaq, is exported to several other countries and, since earlier this year, has also been assembled from completely knocked down (CKD) kits at a new plant in Vietnam. Škoda SUVs are produced in the Czech Republic, India, Ukraine and Vietnam, and, since 2024, also in Kazakhstan.
