Škoda Production : 2023 / 24

I used to get data for Škoda from the VW Group but this year I couldn't find it and assume they have ceased the practice. So I have gone to Škoda Auto and it has more detail too, although some of that won't be used here anyway.

Summary: 

Twelve models were manufactured in 2024, up one from a year earlier. 925,000 units were made, up from 888,000 in 2023 and up 4%. Škoda take pride in the photography of their cars, not something that could be said of all car makers.

Model highlights: 

The Octavia (picture above) is what I call a medium sized car available in liftback and combi (estate or wagon) configurations and it is the most popular with 214,000 produced. The small crossover Kamiq is next with 125,000 made. 

The compact Fabia hatchback (bottom picture) was next with 121,000 assembled. The medium/large Kodiaq SUV accounted for 117,000 units followed by the medium sized Karoq SUV. The small crossover Enyaq reached 80,000 with two body styles, a hatchback and coupé. 

The Kushaq small SUV was made in India but is being discontinued however the small Slavia saloon continues on but with falling volume.

Production by country: 

90% of Škoda's production is in Czechia (Czech Rep). It was only 64% in 2019 but it has climbed primarily due to China no longer being an important market for Škoda. While there has been talk of exiting China, Škoda is remaining for now at least.

The new Kylaq crossover (picture right) will take the brand into a popular segment in India which it hasn't competed in before. 

The difference between total production by model and country is the latter includes cars made for SEAT which are classified as 'Others' below. They are manufactured in the Czechia.
