Skoda Cars in India

Skoda builds cars the European way, with thick doors, tight panel gaps and a solid feel that holds up over years of use. Its five car range in India covers three SUVs and two sedans, so most buyers find a shape that suits them. Ex-showroom prices span from 7.59 lakh right up to 56.69 lakh, a wide gap for such a small lineup. Skoda cars in India have earned a strong name for crash safety, with several models scoring five stars in independent tests.

The Skoda Kylaq is the natural place to start. It is the brand's cheapest car, a sub-4-metre SUV that brings the sturdy build down to a first-car budget. Step up and the Skoda Kushaq price gets you a larger compact SUV with lively turbo petrol engines and a grown-up cabin.

Near the top of the range sits the Skoda Kodiaq, a seven seat SUV with all wheel drive and a genuinely premium interior. The everyday sedan, the Slavia sedan, offers a huge boot and a planted, confident highway ride for far less than a German luxury badge. If you are cross-shopping the Kushaq against a Hyundai Creta, the Skoda feels more solid to drive, though the Creta counters with more features on paper.

Sitting apart from the rest is the Skoda Octavia RS, a 265 PS turbo petrol sports sedan brought in as a full import in tiny numbers. It is the dearest car Skoda sells here and speaks to buyers who want real pace without giving up back seat and boot room. Across the whole lineup you get a premium feel that usually costs a lot more elsewhere.
