Skoda Auto India is making waves at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 in New Delhi, held from January 17 to 22. With an impressive showcase of eight models, Skoda’s pavilion in Hall 3-01 at Bharat Mandapam exemplifies its century-old global legacy of innovation, performance and its steadfast commitment to sustainable mobility.

The Skoda Kylaq, the brand’s first-ever sub-4-metre SUV designed specifically for India, is a highlight of the expo. The Kylaq in Olive Gold seamlessly combines contemporary design with cutting-edge engineering. Powered by a reliable 1.0 TSI engine with options for a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, it is available in four variants and seven colours. Its robust safety features, earning it a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, underscore Skoda’s emphasis on passenger protection.

Skoda’s all-new Kodiaq stands as a testament to luxury and versatility. This seven-seater 4x4 SUV combines spacious interiors with refined driving dynamics and off-road capabilities, making it an ideal choice for those seeking comfort and adventure in one package. Equally impressive is the fourth-generation Skoda Superb, a sedan that redefines elegance and sophistication. With its premium features and spacious interiors, the Superb continues to set benchmarks in the executive sedan category.

The facelifted Skoda Octavia vRS, a performance icon, returns to the spotlight with its thrilling agility and dynamic driving experience. Renowned for its speed and precision, it remains a favourite among enthusiasts. Adding to Skoda’s innovative line-up is the Elroq, an entry-level global EV that balances sleek design, practicality and environmental consciousness, positioning itself as a promising addition to Europe’s EV market.

Skoda’s Vision 7S, a futuristic concept car, offers a glimpse into the future of mobility. This vehicle embodies Skoda’s Modern Solid design language and showcases sustainability and advanced technology. It represents the brand’s commitment to driving electric mobility forward with intuitive and eco-friendly innovations.

The Skoda pavilion at the expo is designed to engage visitors through four unique zones. The Safety Zone highlights Skoda’s dedication to passenger protection, a core pillar of its engineering philosophy. The Power Zone celebrates the brand’s racing heritage with simulators and soundscapes, while the Sustainability Zone underscores Skoda’s eco-friendly initiatives and evolving product line-up. Finally, the Luxury Zone showcases Skoda’s craftsmanship, offering a blend of style and superior comfort.

An accessorised version of the Kylaq is also on display, featuring over 30 bespoke additions. From UV-protect sun blinds to premium 7D spill-proof mats, this version sets a new standard for personalisation, catering to the unique preferences of Indian consumers.

As Skoda Auto celebrates 130 years globally and 25 years in India, the brand reinforces its dedication to combining European engineering excellence with the evolving needs of the Indian market. By integrating innovation and sustainability, Škoda continues to pave the way for a greener and more dynamic future in mobility.

Speaking on the company’s participation, Brand Director Petr Janeba said, “The Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 is a remarkable opportunity for us to demonstrate our evolving global and Indian portfolio of ICE and EV vehicles. India is the second leg we stand on globally outside Europe and is a key market for us. From the all-new Kylaq to our insight into the future with the Vision 7S, all our models showcased at Bharat Mobility Expo focus on delivering innovation along with European design and performance for the ever-important Indian market. The technology and design from these products are going to be the key to our further expansion in India and our endeavour to attract newer customers in the Škoda Auto India family.”
