Skoda Auto India to Increase Prices by Up to 3% Starting January 2025
As the new year approaches, Skoda Auto India has announced a significant price hike across its portfolio. Starting from 1 January 2025, the prices of Skoda cars will increase by up to 3%. This price adjustment will affect all models except the newly launched Kylaq.
Reasons for the Price Hike
The primary reason behind this price hike is the rising input and operational costs. Over the past year, the automotive industry has faced numerous challenges, including increased costs of raw materials, logistics, and production. Skoda India has decided to pass on a portion of these increased costs to the customers to maintain its profitability and continue delivering high-quality vehicles.

Discounts and Offers
Despite the upcoming price hike, Skoda India is offering attractive year-end discounts on its models. Customers can avail of these discounts to purchase their desired Skoda car at a lower price before the new prices come into effect.

Furthermore, Skoda is gearing up to showcase the new Kodiaq and the Octavia RS at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025.
