Hot on the heels of launching the new-gen Skoda Kodiaq in India this April, the Czech carmaker isn’t slowing down. With a strong focus on premium sedans, facelifts, and performance upgrades, Skoda is preparing to launch a diverse lineup throughout 2025 — and possibly early 2026.
While sedans continue to lose ground to SUVs globally, Skoda remains bullish on their appeal in India. Comfort, practicality, highway performance — and a dedicated fanbase — keep sedans alive and well. At the same time, the company is exploring new ground with performance models and EVs.
Here’s a look at 7 Skoda cars set to arrive (or speculated) in India in the coming months.
1. Skoda Superb (Fourth-Gen) – The Return of the Premium King
The Skoda Superb has long been a benchmark in the D-segment, known for its limousine-like comfort at an executive price. Now in its fourth generation, the Superb is coming back to India via the CBU (Completely Built-Up) route.
Under the hood, it retains its creamy-smooth 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine, mated to a 7-speed DSG gearbox. The power delivery is expected to be strong yet refined, ideal for highway cruising or chauffeur-driven comfort. Later, a diesel engine variant is likely to be added — a nod to Indian buyers who still value fuel economy and torque.
Inside, the cabin gets a massive design uplift with plush materials, a floating touchscreen, digital cockpit, and optional ADAS tech. With the price expected north of ₹45 lakh, this is Skoda’s answer to buyers seeking premium sedan luxury without stepping into German luxury territory.
2. Skoda Octavia RS – A Practical Sports Sedan
The Octavia RS is more than just a fast car — it’s a cult favourite. It bridges the gap between family sedan and performance machine like few others can. Slated for launch in limited numbers, this CBU import is going to be a collector’s dream.
At its heart is a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine delivering 261 bhp and 370 Nm, allowing a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 6.6 seconds. It’s paired with a quick-shifting 7-speed DSG and a sporty suspension setup.
But it’s not all aggression. The RS is still practical, with a big boot, four-door comfort, and everyday usability. The cabin gets sporty touches like contrast stitching, metal pedals, and sport seats — while still offering a big infotainment system and safety features.
3. Skoda Octavia Diesel – The Long-Distance Cruiser
The Octavia Diesel is Skoda’s move to win back diesel lovers, especially those clocking thousands of kilometers a month. Known for its effortless highway cruising and low running costs, this version is all about mature, fuss-free driving.
Power comes from a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine (150 bhp / 340 Nm), tuned for torque and efficiency. Paired with a DSG automatic, it’s ideal for long commutes or road trips.
Expect subtle visual updates, refined NVH levels, and a familiar Octavia layout inside. Those who miss diesel-powered sedans will finally get a new option that balances economy, comfort, and features.
4. Skoda Slavia Facelift – Tech-Savvy & Stylish Refresh
The Slavia has been a solid seller for Skoda since 2022, offering an alternative to crossovers with its spacious cabin and turbocharged performance. Now due for a facelift in late 2025, this mid-size sedan will sharpen its appeal.
On the outside, expect a redesigned grille, new LED headlamps, updated bumpers, and refreshed alloys inspired by the global Octavia. Inside, the layout will see cosmetic tweaks with possible additions like a larger infotainment screen, 360-degree camera, and ADAS.
Engines remain unchanged: the peppy 1.0 TSI and the more refined 1.5 TSI EVO. What’s likely is that Skoda will focus more on tech and safety to attract the younger urban buyer.
5. Skoda Kushaq Facelift – Urban SUV, Evolved
Since its launch, the Kushaq has been a consistent performer for Skoda in the compact SUV segment. The upcoming facelift, expected in late 2025, aims to keep it fresh amidst rising competition.
Expect a redesigned front fascia with sleeker LED headlamps, updated grille design, and sharper tail-lamp graphics. Inside, the Kushaq may see improved materials, a bigger infotainment display, and feature updates like ADAS, 360 degree camera, and much more
It will retain its engine options — the punchy 1.0 TSI and the more dynamic 1.5 TSI — making it one of the most fun-to-drive SUVs in its class. This facelift will be crucial in helping Skoda defend its territory against newcomers from Kia, Hyundai, and Honda.
6. Skoda Kodiaq RS – The Beast in a Tuxedo (Speculated)
With the new Kodiaq already launched, the next big buzz is around the Kodiaq RS, Skoda’s flagship performance SUV — still under speculation, but heavily anticipated.
Globally, the Kodiaq RS comes with a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, all-wheel drive, and a dual-clutch gearbox. The focus is on delivering performance in a premium, family-friendly package. It gets RS-specific sporty touches like red calipers, unique alloy wheels, and aggressive bumpers.
If launched in India, it will target buyers who want the presence of an SUV but don’t want to compromise on speed or driving thrill.
7. Skoda Enyaq iV & Elroq – EVs That Could Change the Game (Speculated)
Though not confirmed, the Skoda Enyaq iV and Skoda Elroq are strong contenders for Skoda India’s future roadmap.
- The Enyaq iV is a large, premium electric SUV already on sale in Europe. With over 500 km range, stunning interiors, and a futuristic design, it’s expected to be Skoda’s halo EV — likely launched as a CBU to gauge response.
- The Elroq, expected to be revealed globally in 2025, could become Skoda’s entry-level electric SUV. Compact yet tech-laden, this EV could be localized later if the market demand grows.
These models signal Skoda’s intent to play a serious role in India’s electric mobility shift.
Final Word: Skoda’s 2025–26 Lineup Is its Most Diverse Yet
With a balanced mix of performance (Octavia RS, Kodiaq RS), practicality (Octavia Diesel, Superb, Slavia), mass appeal (Kushaq facelift) and EV ambition (Enyaq, Elroq), Skoda is covering all bases. Whether you’re looking for a thrilling drive, a diesel workhorse, or an electric future, Skoda’s got something coming for you.
Stay tuned — the next 12 months are going to be big for the Czech brand in India.
