Given the rising input costs and logistic charges, Skoda India will increase the prices of its cars and SUVs from the next month.
Skoda India has announced a price hike, which will come into effect from January 1, 2022. The price hike will be applicable to all the models currently on sale. Currently, Skoda India has the Rapid, Kushaq, Octavia, and Superb on sale. The Skoda Slavia will join the portfolio mostly by Q1 of 2022.
Coming back to the price increase, all Skoda cars will be dearer by three per cent from next month.
Following is the current price range of the four Skoda cars on sale:
Skoda Rapid: Rs 7.80 lakh – Rs 13.49 lakh
Skoda Kushaq: Rs 10.79 lakh – Rs 18 lakh
Skoda Octavia: Rs 26.29 lakh – Rs 29.29 lakh
Skoda Superb: Rs 32.85 lakh – Rs 35.85 lakh
All the above-mentioned prices are ex-showroom and will see an upward revision in the coming weeks.
That being said, Skoda has pulled the plug on the Rapid and the sedans, which are on sale until the remaining stock.
‘The decision to increase prices from January 1, 2022, is a result of the rising input costs and increased operational costs,’ Skoda Auto Brand Director Zac Hollis said in a statement.
‘Despite the macro-economic challenges, the company has worked to ensure that the customer impact in terms of the incremental price increase is minimal,' Zac further added.
