Skoda spoke about new products for Russia in 2020

In 2020, Skoda will introduce several new products to the Russian market at once. So, in the first quarter, Skoda Karoq crossover will appear at dealerships, in the first half of the year - the new Rapid, and in the fourth quarter - the new generation of Octavia. This was reported to the agency "AUTOSTAT" in the press service of Skoda Auto Russia, by adding that the technical specifications and specifications for the Russian market Karoq and Rapid will be disclosed in the mid-December of 2019, and for Octavia the data will be later.

Other new products, as well as models that leaves the Russian market, are not planned the next year. Recall that in October, Russian dealers of Skoda began the sales of the updated flagship of the Czech brand – Skoda Superb. The novelty is offered in liftback and station wagon bodies, as well as in SportLine and Laurin & Klement versions.

As AUTOSTAT previously reported, by the results of 10 months of 2019, Russian Skoda dealers sold 70,386 cars, which is 8% higher than the figure for the same period of the previous year. As a result, Skoda ranked the seventh in sales among all automakers in Russia, and the brand’s market share was 4.9% versus 4.5% a year before, according to AEB. Skoda compact liftback, sales of which reached 28,689 units (-1%), remains the bestseller of Skoda in the Russian market in January - October. Skoda Octavia is the second one – 20,717 buyers (+ 5%) chose it. Skoda Kodiaq finishes the top 3 with 19,881 sold cars (+ 71%).
