In FY26 sales, Volkswagen and Skoda combined to register a total of over 1.13 lakh units with the Kylaq alone accounting for nearly 43 per cent of the total
Last financial year saw told two different stories unfold for the Volkswagen Group. Skoda closed the year with 75,555 units as it endured a massive 68 per cent jump over FY2025’s 44,862 units while Volkswagen slipped 11 per cent from 42,230 units in the previous fiscal to 37,576 units.
Skoda’s locally-made compact SUV racked up 49,089 units in FY2026 as against just 10,205 units in its partial first year of sales in FY2025 with a 381 per cent year-on-year surge. The Kylaq alone accounted for nearly 65 per cent of Skoda’s total FY2026 volume – carrying the brand on its shoulders through the year. It demonstrated precisely what an entry-level and right-priced product can do for a European brand in the Indian market.
Strip the Kylaq out of Skoda’s numbers, however, and the picture looks far less impressive. The Kushaq fell 41 per cent from 17,358 to 10,191 units while the Slavia slipped 8 per cent to 14,382 units. The Superb essentially exited the market with just 4 units sold against 52 the previous year. The Kodiaq was the only other model to post positive growth – edging up 8 per cent to 1,793 units.

The Octavia made a quiet return with 96 units as Skoda’s overall growth was heavily concentrated in a single model. Volkswagen’s year was harder to spin positively. Total sales fell from 42,230 to 37,576 units with the Taigun bearing the brunt of the decline. The midsize SUV shed 31 per cent of its volume – dropping from 19,910 to 13,702 units.
A significant fall for a model that has been central to Volkswagen’s India strategy since launch. The Tiguan had an even steeper drop falling 51 per cent from 888 to just 434 units. The Virtus was the one bright spot by growing 7 per cent to 22,959 units to retain its position as Volkswagen’s best-selling model in the country.
