Auto Sales July 2022: Skoda Sales Fall 26% Month-On-Month

Skoda India released its sales figures for the month of July 2022 reporting sales of 4,447 units. The company recorded a 44% growth in sales over July 2021 though sales were down month-on-month. The carmaker reported sales of 6,023 units in June 2022 with July figures down 26% in comparison.

Zac Hollis, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, said, “This is usually the period where big purchases are kept on hold as it’s the monsoon and deferred till the festive season kicks off. Yet, we have clocked in solid numbers on the back of our made-for-India, India 2.0 cars, the Kushaq and the Slavia. The Octavia and Superb are doing well in their respective segments. And the KODIAQ has already sold out soon after its launch in January. We intend on keeping up this energy and shall very soon record 2022 as the Biggest Year yet for us in our 2-decade legacy in India.”
