Rising input costs are cited as the reason behind the hike

Skoda India has announced that from 1 January, 2022, it’ll hike the prices of its models by up to 3 percent. Zac Hollis, Skoda’s Director of Sales and Marketing, cites rising input and operational costs as the reason for the hike, but has reassured that “the customer impact in terms of the incremental price increase is minimal.”

Before the prices are officially announced, here’s a handy table to give you an idea of how much you have pay for each Skoda model currently: 

Model 

Current Ex-showroom Price 

Skoda Kushaq 

Rs 10.79 lakh to Rs 18 lakh 

Skoda Rapid 

Rs 7.79 lakh to Rs 13.49lakh 

Skoda Octavia 

Rs 26.29 lakh to Rs 29.29 lakh 

Skoda Superb 

Rs 31.99 lakh to Rs 35.85 lakh 

 

The Rapid sedan is the most affordable Skoda vehicle on sale, but it is likely to be discontinued after the launch of the Skoda Slavia sedan in March 2022. The Slavia is based on VW-Skoda’s MQB A0 IN platform that’s heavily localised, and prices are expected to start at Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom). Similar to the Rapid, it’ll rival the Honda City and Hyundai Verna upon its launch. 

 

In addition, Skoda is set to launch the facelifted Kodiaq SUV in India in January. It’s a Toyota Fortuner rival that could cost Rs 35 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards, powered by a 2-litre turbo petrol engine that replaces the earlier 2-litre TDI turbo diesel.
