Škoda Auto confirmed its dominant position on the domestic market in 2025, maintaining a market share of nearly one third of all new passenger car registrations in the Czech Republic. A total of 83,890 new Škoda vehicles were registered during the year, securing a 33.7 % market share and keeping the brand firmly at the top of the Czech automotive market. Overall new car registrations in the country reached 248,719 units, representing a year-on-year increase of 7.4 %.

The Octavia range once again proved to be Škoda’s strongest model line, remaining the best-selling vehicle in the country with 18,330 registrations and a 7.4 % market share. Škoda models accounted for seven of the ten best-selling cars overall, including Kamiq, Karoq, Kodiaq, Fabia, Scala and Superb. According to Škoda Auto, strong results in the final quarter of the year, combined with high demand from private customers and targeted operational leasing offers for corporate clients, played a key role in sustaining growth in an increasingly competitive market.

Electric mobility was another important driver of Škoda’s success. The Czech battery electric vehicle (BEV) market grew by more than 26 % year on year, with Škoda achieving a leading 38.1 % share. The all-electric Škoda Elroq became the best-selling electric car of 2025, followed by the Enyaq. Initiatives such as the Škoda Explore programme, which allows customers to test electric vehicles for up to 15 days, further support the company’s strategy to accelerate the adoption of low-emission mobility both domestically and in export markets.
