April 2025 marked a pivotal month for Skoda in India as the newly launched Kylaq stormed the charts, offsetting worrying declines across other key models.

Skoda April 2025 Sales: Model-Wise Performance Breakdown
Kylaq
- April 2025 Sales: 5,364
- M-o-M Growth: +1%
A major win for Skoda, the Kylaq debuted with over 5,300 units sold in April, accounting for the bulk of Skoda April 2025 sales. Positioned smartly in the compact SUV space with premium touches, Kylaq appears to have struck the right chord with buyers seeking European refinement at a semi-premium price.
Slavia
- April 2025 Sales: 1,048
- Y-o-Y Growth: -16%
- M-o-M Growth: -12%
The Slavia has struggled to keep pace amid the sedan segment’s shrinking share. A double-digit decline on both fronts shows that despite its elegant design and turbocharged engines, it faces intense competition from Japanese and Korean counterparts.
Kushaq
- April 2025 Sales: 783
- Y-o-Y Growth: -32%
- M-o-M Growth: -13%
Once a breakout hope in Skoda’s India portfolio, the Kushaq has seen a steady decline. The overlap with Kylaq’s positioning may be causing internal cannibalization. Its premium pricing also puts it in direct competition with better-established nameplates.
Kodiaq
- April 2025 Sales: 107
- Y-o-Y Growth: -31%
- M-o-M Growth: +723%
While overall numbers are modest, the Kodiaq experienced a massive monthly surge. This may be due to a new batch of allocations or updated variants. It remains a low-volume, high-margin product catering to a niche audience.
Superb
- April 2025 Sales: 0
- Y-o-Y Growth: -100%
The Superb, once a benchmark in the premium sedan space, has officially exited the scene — at least for now. With no units sold this month, its role in Skoda April 2025 sales is effectively over unless a refreshed model re-enters later in the year.
Octavia
- April 2025 Sales: N/A
No official sales were reported for the Octavia, which has seen dwindling availability in recent months. This aligns with Skoda’s global portfolio restructuring and the Indian market’s declining demand for D-segment sedans.
Summary Table: Skoda April 2025 Sales Snapshot
| Category | Model(s) | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Top Performer (New) | Kylaq | Stellar debut with 5,364 units |
| Biggest M-o-M Jump | Kodiaq (+723%) | Supply push or fleet delivery surge |
| Top Decliners (Y-o-Y) | Kushaq (-32%), Slavia (-16%), Kodiaq (-31%) | Challenged by competition & segment shifts |
| Discontinued/Inactive | Superb, Octavia | No reported sales; exit or transition phase |
Conclusion: Kylaq Sparks New Momentum for Skoda
The Skoda April 2025 sales data shows that while legacy sedans and older SUVs are fading, new entrants like Kylaq offer a promising path forward. With SUV demand continuing to dominate and the sedan segment shrinking, Skoda’s strategic pivot is well-timed.
For future growth, Skoda must:
- Sustain Kylaq’s initial momentum with aggressive marketing and variants
- Address overlap between Kushaq and Kylaq to avoid product cannibalization
- Reassess its sedan portfolio strategy in line with market contraction
As the Indian market continues to move toward compact SUVs and EVs, Skoda’s next move — whether it’s expanding Kylaq’s reach or launching electrified models — will define its position in FY 2025–26.
