Other Models: Kodiaq and Kushaq Savings
Beyond Kylaq and Slavia, Skoda is extending GST-linked benefits across its portfolio:
- Kodiaq: Up to Rs. 3.3 lakh GST benefit, with additional festive offers of up to Rs. 2.5 lakh, giving savings as high as Rs. 5.8 lakh.
- Kushaq: Up to Rs. 66,000 GST reduction and festive offers worth Rs. 2.5 lakh, translating into a total benefit of around Rs. 3.1 lakh.
These reductions place Skoda's SUVs in a stronger position against rivals, particularly during peak festive demand. Since GST 2.0 rates officially apply from 22nd September, most buyers might have chosen to wait. To avoid a slowdown in sales ahead of Navratri and Diwali, Skoda rolled out equivalent festive discounts upfront. This allows customers to enjoy the lower prices immediately, keeping showrooms active and sales momentum intact.
Limited Period Offer - Valid Till 21st September
Skoda cars pre-festive pricing is valid only until 21st September 2025, which includes the additional offers, after which the official GST rates take over. Effectively, buyers booking cars now enjoy both the GST-linked reductions and limited-period festive incentives, making it the best window to purchase a Skoda.
Verdict
Skoda India's strategy blends policy-driven price cuts with festive market timing, delivering compelling savings across its lineup. With benefits reaching Rs. 1.19 lakh on the Kylaq, Rs. 63,000 on the Slavia, Rs. 3.1 lakh on the Kushaq, and up to Rs. 5.8 lakh on the Kodiaq, the brand is well-positioned to attract buyers who may have otherwise postponed purchases. As the festive season kicks off, Skoda's proactive move inline with the other industry contemporaries, ensures it remains a strong contender in both the SUV and sedan categories.
