Skoda Sales Analysis – May 2026
Skoda’s May 2026 performance reflects a mixed trend. The brand’s overall sales declined both YoY and MoM, primarily due to lower volumes from Kylaq and a sharp sequential drop in Kushaq. However, Kushaq’s 103% YoY growth and Slavia’s month-on-month improvement offer some positive signals.
The sales mix also shows Skoda’s increasing dependence on SUVs. Kylaq and Kushaq together contributed 4,753 units, which is over 82% of Skoda India’s May 2026 sales. This clearly underlines the SUV-led nature of Skoda’s current India strategy.
Key Takeaways
Skoda India sold 5,760 units in May 2026, down 15% YoY and 16% MoM. The Kylaq remained the best-selling Skoda model with 3,443 units, while the Kushaq delivered the strongest YoY growth at 103%. The Slavia remained relatively stable, posting a small month-on-month improvement, while the Kodiaq improved sequentially despite a YoY decline.
For Skoda, sustaining Kylaq momentum and building on Kushaq’s YoY recovery will be crucial in the coming months. With SUVs forming the majority of its volumes, Skoda’s India performance will continue to be closely linked to demand in the compact and mid-size SUV segments.
