“Škoda’s strong nine-month results prove that our strategy is working: We are growing profitably, electrifying faster, and expanding globally. Holding firm as Europe’s No. 3 car brand while doubling deliveries in India shows the power of our team, our partners, and our customer’s trust. We’re driving forward with confidence, efficiency, and the courage to shape the future of mobility.”
Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Škoda Auto
“Our results remain very strong after the third quarter. This is a great achievement, especially given the ongoing challenges in the market. The increase of 5.4% in operating profit to €1.790 billion and strong development in net cash flow demonstrate the solid foundation of our successful business model and the consistent implementation of our Next Level Efficiency+ programme. In addition, we continue to look for cost-saving potential within Brand Group Core synergies, such as in the development and production of the upcoming Epiq all-electric crossover. We remain confident in our ability to maintain a positive trajectory through disciplined cost management and a clear focus on our strategic objectives.”
Holger Peters, Škoda Auto Board Member for Finance, IT, and Legal Affairs
“In the first three quarters, demand for Škoda vehicles grew significantly. In Europe, we’re outperforming the overall market, holding third place thanks to our broad model line-up, while also being the second best-selling brand among important fleet customers. Moreover, almost one in four Škoda cars delivered in Europe is now electrified. That makes us optimistic for the future. Our next step will be the launch of the new fully electric crossover Epiq, which will be Škoda’s new entry model into electric mobility, with a price that will match the ICE Kamiq in many markets.”
Martin Jahn, Škoda Auto Board Member for Sales and Marketing
Škoda Auto continues its solid performance in its 130th-anniversary year
Škoda Auto delivered a total of 765,700 (2024: 671,300) vehicles to customers worldwide over the first three quarters. The year-on-year increase of 14.1% was driven by stronger sales in key European markets and in India, alongside the brand’s broadest and most up-to-date model line-up, covering all powertrain types.
As a result, the Czech manufacturer is outpacing the overall market, remaining the third best-selling brand in Europe (EU27+4). The brand’s strategic objective is to remain among the top three most sought-after carmakers in Europe by 2030.
Škoda also recorded significant growth in its largest market, Germany, with 153,800 deliveries, corresponding to an absolute increase of 13,800 vehicles (+9.9% YoY). Other notable increases were recorded in the second-largest market, the Czech Republic (67,700; +6,000; +9.8%) and the third-largest market, the United Kingdom (66,100; +7,800; +13.4%), as well as Denmark (15,100; +5,600; +59.2%) and Spain (30,000; +5,400; +21.9%).
A standout achievement is ranking No. 2 in Europe for fleet sales (excluding company cars and rentals).
Electrification accelerates: Elroq and Enyaq among Europe’s most sought-after electric vehicles
Over the first three quarters of this year, Škoda Auto delivered 150,700 vehicles with an electrified drivetrain worldwide (BEVs and PHEVs). In Europe, the combined BEV and PHEV delivery share stood at 24.1% (2024: 11.1%). In the BEV category, Škoda became the fourth best-selling brand with a market share of 6.6%.
The success of Škoda’s BEV models has been pivotal: the brand delivered 118,600 BEVs globally – 60,400 units of the Elroq and 58,200 units of the Enyaq family. In Europe, both models rank among the top ten electric vehicles: the Elroq ranks third and the Enyaq ranks sixth.
In the Czech Republic, Denmark and Slovakia, the Elroq is the best-selling BEV; in Austria, the Netherlands and Switzerland, it is among the top three. The Enyaq placed in the top three in the Czech Republic, Germany, Finland, Austria, Slovakia and Switzerland. Customer demand continues to rise; in September, Škoda Auto recorded an all-time monthly high for EV deliveries (17,400), and by the end of October, the company had received more than 170,000 orders for fully electric models worldwide. Škoda’s most popular model remains the Octavia with 142,200 deliveries to customers, followed by the Kodiaq and Kamiq.
Internationalisation and success in India continue; production launched in Vietnam
In the international markets, Škoda recorded delivery increases, as well. In India, Škoda further strengthened its second pillar alongside its core European market. Total deliveries to customers more than doubled year-on-year, reaching an all-time high of 49,400 (+106.1%). The Kylaq accounted for a substantial share with 30,100 vehicles delivered. In September, the brand achieved the milestone of 100,000 Kushaq units built.
In Vietnam, production and sales of the Slavia saloon began in September, the brand’s second locally assembled model, following the Kushaq. In October, the Škoda Kodiaq won the ‘Family Car of the Year’ title at Vietnam’s renowned Better Choice Awards.
In Turkey, the second-largest overseas market for Škoda, deliveries reached 32,200 vehicles (+7.0%), driven by strong demand for the Superb and Octavia. In Morocco, the automaker achieved 4,500 deliveries (+43.8%), further solidifying its footprint in the North African region.
Further electrified portfolio: Epiq city SUV crossover and a large 7-seater family SUV
In September, the show car of the Škoda Epiq provided a close-to-production preview of an upcoming fully electric urban SUV crossover scheduled for 2026. It will be Škoda’s entry model into e-mobility, priced similarly to its ICE counterpart, the Kamiq, in many markets. The Czech carmaker will also present the production version of the Vision 7S concept study, an all-electric large family SUV. Looking further ahead, the recently presented Vision O provides a concrete outlook on Škoda’s electric future in the estate car segment and the evolved Modern Solid design language.
