If you’re eyeing a Skoda this fall, you’ll notice a price bump. From October 1, the ex‑showroom price of the KylaQ, Kushaq and Kodiaq will climb by up to ₹20,000, a 1.2% rise at most.
The hike comes as Skoda cites rising input and operational costs, echoing a trend across the industry where tariffs and component prices are on the rise. This adjustment aligns with the broader auto market’s move towards higher production costs. Buyers will now pay a slightly steeper price, but the brand maintains its value proposition in design and build quality.
In the compact SUV arena, the adjusted price may narrow the gap with competitors like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. The KylaQ, once a mid‑priced alternative, could now sit closer to the price points that define the segment. This could shift how buyers weigh features versus cost.
Meanwhile, Skoda’s updated Slavia sedan is slated for launch on October 6, featuring an 8‑speed automatic gearbox and a 1.0‑litre TSI engine. The facelifted model will also carry a new six‑speed automatic for the 1.5‑litre variant. This launch adds fresh competition to the sedan market.
Dealers across India will start charging the new prices on Oct 1, while the Slavia will hit showrooms a few days later. Buyers should check with local showrooms for variant‑specific pricing and any available incentives.
