Mladá Boleslav, 19 January 2026 – Škoda Auto delivered 1,043,900 vehicles to customers worldwide (+12.7%), recording its strongest sales performance in the past six years. In Europe (EU 27+4), Škoda delivered 836,200 vehicles (+9.9%), for the first time becoming the third best-selling car brand in its core market. A key driver of this performance was the success of Škoda’s BEV and PHEV models: one in four Škoda models (25.7%) were delivered with a plug. Additionally, strong demand for the Elroq and Enyaq lifted Škoda to fourth place among Europe’s electric vehicle manufacturers. Germany remains Škoda’s largest market, with 211,100 deliveries (+12.8%), followed by the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, India and Poland. The Octavia, Kodiaq, Kamiq, Fabia and Karoq were the best-selling models. Momentum also continued with internationalisation; deliveries in India almost doubled to 70,600 vehicles (+96.1%), while production of the Slavia and Kushaq began in Vietnam. 2026 will see two new electric models: the urban crossover Epiq and the seven-seater family SUV Peaq will double Škoda’s all-electric portfolio.

“Škoda Auto is reaching new levels of success. In 2025, our deliveries surpassed the one million vehicle mark, making Škoda the third best-selling car brand in Europe, our core market. This achievement reflects the outstanding commitment of our Škodians worldwide, the strength of our dealer partners, and the trust of our customers. Together with our sales partners, we are not just selling products – we are delivering reliable mobility, accessible technology, and high-quality service across the entire customer journey. Our robust business model enables us to offer competitive vehicles while ensuring long-term value through strong aftersales, digital services, and personal customer support. The past year also marked strong momentum in our international growth strategy, with continued traction in India, ASEAN, and the Middle East. Our approach of freedom of choice in powertrains – ranging from highly efficient combustion engines and mild and plug in hybrids to an expanding portfolio of practical all electric vehicles – is clearly resonating with customers. Looking ahead, we are excited to build on this success with the upcoming world premieres of two all new, fully electric models: the urban SUV Epiq and the seven-seater Peaq, our new flagship. These vehicles will double our all-electric portfolio and make electromobility even more accessible, supported by a strong dealer network and comprehensive services that give customers confidence at every step.”


Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Škoda Auto

“Our worldwide deliveries to customers rose significantly, resulting in a 12.7% increase compared to last year, with the Octavia once again leading our portfolio and surpassing 190,000 deliveries. In Europe, we achieved great success overall – especially with our new electric Enyaq and Elroq, which helped Škoda climb to fourth place among all BEV manufacturers with almost 175,000 deliveries. We also continued to strengthen our dynamic growth markets, led by India, where we almost doubled our sales to 70,600 vehicles, primarily thanks to the newly introduced Kylaq. At the same time, we continue to raise the Škoda brand to the next level across all touchpoints, with more than 1,200 dealerships already rebranded in 2025.”

Advancing electromobility: Škoda ranks fourth among best-selling EV manufacturers in Europe; Elroq ranks second in Europe
In terms of battery-electric vehicle deliveries, Germany (51,000; +106.6%), Denmark (16,700; +191%) and the Netherlands (15,100; +300%) were Škoda’s strongest markets. In the Czech Republic, the car manufacturer delivered 6,000 BEVs to customers (+245.7%).

In Škoda’s core market Europe (EU27+4), BEV and PHEV models accounted for 25.7% (+116.5%) of all Škoda deliveries – meaning one in four Škoda vehicles sold was delivered with a plug.

In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the compact SUV ranked among the top three most sought-after models.

Model line-up: Deliveries of electrified models more than doubled; Octavia remains top choice among customers
The Octavia remains Škoda’s best-selling model, with 190,300 units delivered worldwide (-11.8%). The current fourth generation, on the market since 2020, recently surpassed the mark of 1,000,000 units sold. The milestone car was delivered to a customer in the Czech Republic. The Octavia is followed by the Kodiaq (130,400 deliveries), Kamiq (125,900) and Fabia (119,100). Deliveries of electrified vehicles (BEV and PHEV models) more than doubled year-on-year: Škoda delivered 174,900 battery-electric vehicles and 43,800 plug-in hybrids – a combined total of 218,700 vehicles (+117.5%).

Progress in internationalisation: record results in India; growth in Türkiye and North Africa
Škoda Auto’s internationalisation strategy is delivering results. In India, the car manufacturer achieved record deliveries of 70,600 vehicles (+96.1%). Growth was driven in particular by the high demand for the locally produced Kylaq SUV in the popular sub-4-metre segment. Škoda Auto is also expanding its footprint in the ASEAN region: In Vietnam, CKD production of the Slavia and Kushaq began last year in cooperation with partner Thanh Cong Group. Škoda Auto also entered the Saudi Arabian market, strengthening its presence in the Middle East.

Additionally, Škoda deliveries are gaining momentum in Türkiye (45,100; +6.8%) and North Africa, specifically in Morocco (6,000; +37.1%) and Egypt (5,300; +32.9%).

2026 highlights: two all-new electric models to expand the comprehensive model line-up and make electromobility even more accessible
In the first half of this year, Škoda will unveil the all-new, fully electric urban SUV crossover Epiq, followed by the large seven-seater family SUV Peaq. With these two additions, Škoda will double its all-electric portfolio, expanding customer choice in electric mobility and making it more affordable with the entry-level all-electric SUV crossover Epiq.
