Škoda Model Production : 2024-25










Škoda made just over a million cars in 2025, up from 925,000. That's a 15% rise in volume. The leading model is the medium sized Octavia car, although unit production was down 13%. The medium to large size Kodiaq SUV closed the gap somewhat with a 14% increase. 

The small Elroq electric crossover and small Kylaq SUV were two models that joined the swelling ranks of models. The latter for the Indian market, joining the compact Slavia saloon car in that capacity.

So where are they made? Primarily in the Czech Republic, with 86% of the total. India's contribution is now 7%. and has passed Slovakia. Vietnam and Spain have just become new countries where Škodas are sourced. 

The 'Others' entry is for the SEAT/Cupra Ateca which Škoda makes in their behalf. They are siblings of the Karoq. I probably should have left them off the chart but it adds some additional information.


Škoda Global Deliveries : 2023-25

Škoda was founded 130 years ago in 2025. It was taken over by VW gradually from 1991 to 2000. It was then transformed into the successful brand it is today.

Škoda deliveries were up 13% in 2025. The main market is Germany and as Škoda is owned by VW, that's something that isn't lost on the car buyer there. The home market is next, followed by the UK. Deliveries in India have been moving up quickly and is now the fourth country on the list.

Regions. The reliance on Europe is clearly shown, with 82% of the total sales from there.

Singapore Passenger Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-Feb)











Registrations were up 3% in February and up 26% YTD. For a market that is open to all brands and doesn't have a local hero to support, it's amazing that BYD has captured 25% of it. One in every four cars!

Toyota and Lexus are inexplicably lumped together yet well and truly second. Sure, 15.7% market share is good but to be left behind like that is not often what Toyota experiences. Tesla is solid in third place. So the top three have over half of the total sales. 

The next three are doing it tough, then we have Chery and MG coming after them. Chinese car manufacturers have surplus production capacity and they want to utlilise that to a greater extent. Singapore is part of the solution. 

Please note: The 2025 share below is for the complete year.
