Skoda surpasses 3 million SUVs

Three million and it’s not over yet. Several generations have succeeded each other, but Skoda’s SUV success story continues.

As a gift for this impressive record, the anniversary vehicle is a black Skoda Kodiaq Sportline, manufactured at the historic Kvasiny plant. In the Czech Republic, Škoda produces the Kamiq, Enyaq, and Enyaq Coupé at the Mladá Boleslav site, while the Karoq and Kodiaq come off the production line in Kvasiny. Moreover, the automaker builds its SUV models in China, India, Ukraine, and Slovakia.

Under the sign of the Kodiaq

The choice of vehicle is not trivial since, with 841,000 units produced to date, the Kodiaq has played a significant role in reaching this milestone. The second generation of the SUV is expected to be introduced in the coming weeks, featuring a plug-in hybrid version with an electric-only range of over 100 kilometers.

It all started in 2009 with the Skoda Yeti, which, despite—or perhaps because of—a very distinctive style as a small, high-riding hatchback, sold 684,000 units. The lineup gradually expanded with the addition of the Kodiaq, Karoq, and Kamiq, as well as the first fully electric SUV, the Enyaq.

Enyaq ushers Skoda into the electric era

In September 2020, Skoda Auto entered the world of electric mobility with the launch of the Enyaq, its first series model based on the Volkswagen Group’s modular electric matrix (MEB). In January 2022, the Enyaq Coupé followed, offering a sporty aesthetic while maintaining a spacious interior. To date, more than 166,000 units of the Enyaq and Enyaq Coupé have been produced at the Mladá Boleslav factory.

The lineup is complemented by a very special model, the Kushaq, which has been produced since 2021 in India and is exclusively available in the Indian market. In the second half of 2024, the small Czech SUV will attempt to make inroads in Vietnam.
