Key Highlights from Skoda-VW Sales for December 2025
Skoda: Kylaq Drives Majority of Volumes
The Skoda Kylaq continued to lead the Skoda portfolio with 3,668 units sold in December 2025, accounting for roughly 66% of the brand’s total monthly volumes. It registered a modest 3.7% month-on-month increase compared to 3,538 units in November 2025, reflecting sustained interest in the brand’s sub-4-metre SUV entry.
The Kylaq’s popularity reinforces Skoda’s strategy to tap into the high-growth compact SUV segment, competing with rivals like the Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet. Its blend of practicality, safety credentials and performance has translated into strong showroom traction throughout 2025.

Kushaq Shows Mixed Trends
In December 2025, the Skoda Kushaq posted 958 units, a figure that reflects a 61% year-on-year decline, but an encouraging 63% MoM gain over November 2025, indicating renewed interest in the established mid-size SUV. The MoM rise could be attributed to refreshed stock or production re-start momentum toward year-end.
In contrast, the Slavia sedan continued to face declining interest, with 711 units sold, down sharply on both YoY and MoM bases. Shifting buyer preference away from conventional sedans toward SUVs likely contributes to the softer demand for this model.
Kodiaq Strength in Premium SUV Segment
The Skoda Kodiaq, a premium 7-seater SUV, recorded 230 units in December 2025 — representing 18.5% YoY growth and 50% MoM growth — demonstrating consistent demand for larger SUVs within Skoda’s line-up. Despite its niche positioning, such upswing highlights sustained interest among affluent buyers looking for spacious, feature-loaded vehicles.
Volkswagen’s Monthly Performance: Virtus Leads
Among Volkswagen’s offerings, the Virtus midsize sedan stood out with 2,378 units sold in December 2025. This performance reflected a 5.4% YoY increase and 6.9% MoM growth, reinforcing the Virtus’s role as a cornerstone model contributing nearly 56% of Volkswagen’s total monthly volume.
The Taigun compact SUV also showed positive movement, rebounding strongly by 65% MoM (from 1,077 units in November 2025) to 1,778 units, despite trailing in YoY volumes. This suggests improved demand or inventory replenishment toward year-end.
Additionally, the Volkswagen Tiguan saw incremental improvement with 100 units, marking a 163% MoM jump, likely due to fresh inventory dispatches.

Looking at the Skoda-VW sales for December 2025 as a combined entity, total dispatches stood at 9,823 units, marking a monthly improvement from 8,833 units in November 2025, but a mixed year-on-year outcome. The uptick in combined volumes highlights stabilising momentum driven by core models, even though some segments faced softer demand compared to the previous year.
This stabilisation is encouraging ahead of 2026, when refreshed models and new launches are expected to further shape buyer preferences across both mass-market and premium SUV categories.
Forward Outlook: 2026 and Beyond
With stabilising MoM performance and strategic refreshes planned for 2026, the Skoda-VW portfolio appears well positioned to build on this month’s performance. Upcoming launches and refreshed variants, combined with expanded networks and enhanced localisation strategies, are expected to support continued engagement with Indian customers over the coming year.
