Mladá Boleslav, 31 October 2025 – Škoda Auto has delivered a commanding performance in the first nine months of 2025, solidifying its position as Europe’s third best-selling car brand and highlighting its accelerating transition to electrification. With 765,700 vehicles delivered worldwide—a 14.1% year-on-year increase—the Czech manufacturer continues to outperform the broader market, demonstrating both resilience and strategic foresight.
Strong Financials Reflect Robust Business Model
Revenue rose to €22.344 billion, up 9.5% compared to the same period last year, while operating profit reached €1.790 billion, a 5.4% increase. Net cash flow remained healthy at €1.934 billion, underscoring the company’s disciplined financial management. Return on Sales (RoS) of 8.0% confirms Škoda’s status as one of Europe’s most profitable volume car brands, reflecting the enduring strength of its business model.
Holger Peters, Board Member for Finance, IT and Legal Affairs, emphasised the importance of these figures: “Our results demonstrate the solid foundation of Škoda’s business model. The consistent implementation of our Next Level Efficiency+ programme and cost management strategies ensures we remain on a positive trajectory, even amid challenging market conditions.”
Electrification Momentum Builds
Electrified vehicles now represent a growing share of Škoda’s portfolio. Worldwide, 150,700 vehicles with either BEV or PHEV drivetrains were delivered, with Europe accounting for a 24.1% share—more than double last year’s 11.1%. The Škoda Elroq and Enyaq have quickly become European best-sellers, ranking third and sixth respectively among BEVs. Notably, the Elroq surpassed 100,000 orders since its launch, while Škoda recorded a record 17,400 electric vehicle deliveries in a single month.
Martin Jahn, Board Member for Sales and Marketing, highlighted the significance of this growth: “Almost one in four Škoda cars delivered in Europe is now electrified. This, coupled with the upcoming launch of our fully electric Epiq crossover, positions Škoda as a serious contender in the EV market while maintaining accessibility and competitive pricing.”
Global Expansion Strengthens Market Presence
Škoda’s internationalisation strategy continues to bear fruit. In India, deliveries more than doubled to an all-time high of 49,400 units, with the locally produced Kylaq driving the majority of growth. Production in Vietnam also commenced this year, beginning with the Kushaq earlier in 2025 and the Slavia in September, while the Kodiaq earned recognition as ‘Family Car of the Year’ in the Vietnamese market. Turkey and Morocco also posted solid growth, further diversifying Škoda’s global footprint.
CEO Klaus Zellmer reflected on the company’s global trajectory: “Holding firm as Europe’s No. 3 brand while doubling deliveries in India shows the power of our team, partners, and customers’ trust. We are driving forward with confidence, efficiency, and the courage to shape the future of mobility.”
Model Line-up and Market Highlights
Europe remained the core market, with 616,300 deliveries (EU27, UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland). Growth in Germany, Škoda’s largest market, reached 153,800 units (+9.9%), while the Czech Republic (+9.8%) and the UK (+13.4%) also showed strong performance. The Octavia remains Škoda’s top-selling model globally with 142,200 units, followed by the Kodiaq and Kamiq.
In the BEV segment, the Elroq leads in the Czech Republic, Denmark, and Slovakia, while the Enyaq maintains top-three positions in key markets including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Škoda is now the fourth best-selling BEV brand in Europe, reflecting the brand’s commitment to sustainable mobility.
Looking Ahead: The Electric Future
Škoda’s pipeline reinforces its commitment to electrification. The Epiq crossover, slated for 2026, will serve as the brand’s accessible entry point into electric mobility, while the Vision 7S all-electric family SUV and the Vision O estate concept outline Škoda’s broader electric ambitions. Combined with a diversified ICE portfolio, Škoda is positioned to deliver both growth and profitability while leading the transition to sustainable mobility.
Conclusion
In its 130th anniversary year, Škoda Auto continues to outperform, with rising deliveries, strong financials, and accelerating electrification. Its dual focus on global expansion and innovative mobility solutions underscores the brand’s strategic clarity, setting the stage for continued growth in Europe and beyond.
