Kylaq remained Skoda’s best-selling model in July 2026, with dispatches of 3,727 units. Sales were up 10% YoYfrom 3,377 units in July 2025, although volumes declined 8% MoM from 4,039 units in June.
The Kylaq alone contributed roughly 65% of Skoda’s total July volumes, highlighting how important the sub-4-metre SUV has become to the brand’s India strategy.
Skoda dispatched 993 units of the Slavia during July 2026, down 15% YoY from 1,168 units recorded during the corresponding month last year. Compared with June 2026 sales of 1,083 units, Slavia volumes were also lower by 8% MoM.
Kushaq registered sales of 833 units in July, representing an 8% YoY decline from 901 units in July 2025. Month-on-month performance was weaker, with dispatches falling 16% from 992 units in June 2026.
With the Kylaq now positioned as Skoda's principal volume product, the sales mix within the company’s SUV portfolio has shifted considerably towards the smaller and more accessible model.
At the premium end of the portfolio, the Skoda Kodiaq recorded 156 units in July 2026, compared with 106 units both in July 2025 and June 2026. This translated into strong 47% growth on both YoY and MoM bases.
Skoda also recorded one unit of the Octavia during July 2026. Meanwhile, no Superb dispatches were reported during the month, compared with two units in July last year.
Kylaq Accounts for Nearly Two-Thirds of Skoda Sales
Skoda's July 2026 sales mix clearly illustrates the growing importance of the Kylaq.
Approximate contribution to total sales stood at:
Kylaq: 65.3%
Slavia: 17.4%
Kushaq: 14.6%
Kodiaq: 2.7%
Combined, the Kylaq, Kushaq and Kodiaq SUVs accounted for over 82% of Skoda's total volumes during the month.
Skoda July 2026 Sales – Key Takeaways
Skoda ended July 2026 with 5,710 units, delivering 3% YoY growth but an 8% MoM decline. The Kylaq remains the clear cornerstone of the company’s volume strategy, recording double-digit annual growth and contributing nearly two-thirds of total dispatches. In contrast, the Slavia and Kushaq remained under pressure, declining on both annual and monthly comparisons.
The Kodiaq provided a bright spot at the premium end with a 47% increase, although its comparatively low volumes mean the brand's overall performance continues to depend heavily on the Kylaq.
Going forward, sustaining Kylaq momentum while strengthening demand for the Kushaq and Slavia will remain important if Skoda intends to build on the substantial expansion of its Indian product portfolio.
