Škoda Auto delivered 1,043,900 vehicles to customers worldwide in 2025, marking a robust year-on-year growth of 12.7% and its best sales performance in the last six years. In Europe (EU 27+4), deliveries reached 836,200 units, up 9.9%, enabling Škoda to become the third best-selling car brand in the region for the first time.
Electrification played a crucial role in this success, with battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles accounting for 25.7% of total deliveries. Strong customer demand for models such as the Elroq and Enyaq positioned Škoda as the fourth-largest electric vehicle manufacturer in Europe.
Germany continued to be Škoda’s largest market with 211,100 deliveries, reflecting a growth of 12.8%. This was followed by the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, India and Poland. The Octavia, Kodiaq, Kamiq, Fabia and Karoq emerged as the brand’s top-selling models during the year.
Škoda’s international expansion also gathered pace. Deliveries in India nearly doubled to 70,600 units, registering a sharp 96.1% increase, while production of the Slavia and Kushaq commenced in Vietnam. Looking ahead to 2026, Škoda plans to strengthen its electric lineup with the launch of two new models—the urban crossover Epiq and the seven-seat family SUV Peaq—effectively doubling its all-electric portfolio.
“Škoda Auto has reached a new milestone in its growth journey. In 2025, we surpassed one million vehicle deliveries, positioning Škoda as the third best-selling car brand in Europe—our core market. This success is a testament to the dedication of our Škodians across the globe, the strength of our dealer partners, and, above all, the confidence our customers place in us.
Together with our sales partners, we are doing more than selling cars; we are providing dependable mobility, accessible technologies, and high-quality service throughout the entire customer lifecycle. Our resilient business model allows us to offer competitive products while delivering long-term value through strong aftersales support, digital solutions, and personalised customer care.
The past year also delivered strong momentum for our international expansion, with continued progress in India, ASEAN markets, and the Middle East. Our strategy of offering freedom of choice in powertrains—from efficient combustion engines and mild and plug-in hybrids to a growing range of practical all-electric vehicles—is clearly resonating with customers.
Looking ahead, we are excited to build on this success with the world premieres of two all-new fully electric models: the urban SUV Epiq and the seven-seater Peaq, our future flagship. These additions will double our all-electric portfolio and further democratise electromobility, backed by a robust dealer network and comprehensive services that inspire customer confidence at every stage,” said Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Škoda Auto.
“Our global deliveries to customers recorded strong growth, rising 12.7% year-on-year, with the Octavia once again leading our model range and exceeding 190,000 units sold. In Europe, we delivered an excellent overall performance, driven in particular by the success of our new electric models, the Enyaq and Elroq. Their strong demand helped Škoda secure fourth place among all BEV manufacturers, with nearly 175,000 electric vehicles delivered.
We also continued to reinforce our presence in high-growth markets, led by India, where sales almost doubled to 70,600 vehicles, largely supported by the launch of the new Kylaq. In parallel, we are elevating the Škoda brand experience across all customer touchpoints, with more than 1,200 dealerships worldwide already rebranded during 2025,” said Martin Jahn, Škoda Auto Board Member for Sales and Marketing.
Third-best selling brand in its European core market:
With 836,200 vehicles delivered to customers in its core market Europe (+9.9%), the brand secured third place among all manufacturers – a position it aims to defend and strengthen in the coming years. Germany remains Škoda’s largest market, with 211,100 deliveries (+24,000 year on year; +12.8%), followed by the Czech Republic (91,800; +7,300), the United Kingdom (83,300; +4,600), Poland (65,200; +3,800) and France (50,800; +5,200). Particularly strong gains were recorded in Denmark (+6,800) and the Netherlands (+5,900).
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. The Elroq finished as the second best-selling EV in the region overall, ranking first in the Czech Republic, Denmark, the Netherlands and Slovakia. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the compact SUV ranked among the top three most sought-after models. The larger Enyaq finished seventh among Europe’s best-selling BEV models, ranking in the top three in the Czech Republic, Finland, Switzerland, Austria and Slovakia.
Thanks to the success of its battery-electric model range, Škoda secured fourth place among the best-selling EV manufacturers, with a market share of 6.8%.
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.
