The popular Skoda Octavia RS will be returning, along with several EV models and other international products from the Volkswagen Group that will be arriving in our country.
For everyone, even automakers that schedule several new car releases for various markets, the start of a new calendar year signifies a fresh start. Even though we’ve already shown you what some automakers have planned for 2025, let’s take a look at what the Skoda-Volkswagen team may have in store for us. Volkswagen is anticipated to introduce the worldwide popular new-generation Tiguan to our shores, while Skoda is anticipated to offer the new generation Octavia RS and Superb.
Now that the background is established, let’s examine what Skoda and Volkswagen might anticipate in 2025:
Expected Date – January 17, 2025
Expected Price- Rs 45 lakh
After the introduction of BS6 phase 2, the Skoda Octavia, which had been on the Indian market for more than 20 years, was discontinued. The Octavia RS, which was given a makeover in the second half of 2024 and is still available worldwide, is anticipated to be on display at the next Bharat Mobility Global Expo in 2025. The worldwide available Octavia RS boasts a 2-liter turbo-petrol engine with 265 PS and 370 Nm, as well as an updated exterior and interior design.
New Skoda Kodiaq
Expected Launch- March 2025
Expected Price- Rs 40 lakh
The SUV has been seen on Indian roads a few times in 2024 after the Skoda Kodiaq’s generation update was unveiled in 2023. We think the new Skoda Kodiaq in India will keep the current model’s 2-liter turbo-petrol engine (190 PS/320 Nm), even though the global-spec Kodiaq has several powertrain alternatives, such as a mild and plug-in hybrid system.
New Skoda Superb
Expected Launch- August 2025
Expected Price- Rs 40 lakh
The fourth-generation Superb upgrade is anticipated to arrive in our country in 2025 after being unveiled globally in late 2023. It has completely new features and looks, such as level-2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). We anticipate that the India-spec vehicle will keep the current Superb’s 190 PS 2-liter turbo-petrol engine, even if the global-spec model has a variety of powertrain options.
Skoda Enyaq
Expected Launch- Late 2025
Expected Price- Rs 45 lakh
Skoda’s first all-electric SUV, the Enyaq, has been available internationally for a while and is anticipated to arrive in India in 2025. With a stated range of up to 566 kilometers, the all-electric Enyaq is available with several battery packs based on the market. Skoda also unveiled the designs for the upcoming Skoda Enyaq, but we will have to wait and see if the updated EV from last year or the new model will arrive in our country.
Skoda Elroq
Expected launch- In late 2025
Expected Price- Rs 35 lakh
The Czech automaker’s smallest all-electric SUV to date is the Elroq. The Elroq’s exterior is modeled around Skoda’s new Modern Solid design language, while the interior is influenced by Superb. The global version has a maximum stated range of 560 km and comes with three battery packs: 55 kWh, 63 kWh, and 82 kWh, depending on the market.
New Volkswagen Tiguan
Expected Launch- September 2025
Expected Price- Rs 37- 39 lakh
Like the Superb, the Tiguan’s most recent version made its world debut in late 2023 and had a fresh look influenced by Volkswagen’s electric lineup. Along with a new 15-inch entertainment system, the cabin was also upgraded. It is anticipated that the new generation Tiguan will continue to use a 2-liter turbo-petrol engine with an output comparable to the Skoda Superb.
Volkswagen Virtus And Taigun Model Year Updates
Expected Launch- To Be Announced
Model year revisions for the Volkswagen Taigun and Virtus, which were released in 2021 and 2022, respectively, are anticipated in 2025. Updates for both models are probably going to include some new features to make the cars look better in addition to some minor aesthetic adjustments. Both models are anticipated to maintain their 1.5-liter turbo-petrol with an output of 150 PS and 250 Nm and their 1-liter turbo-petrol with 115 PS and 178 Nm.
