Skoda vs Volkswagen sales February 2026 India Kylaq Slavia Virtus Taigun analysis:
The February 2026 sales performance painted two very different pictures for Skoda Auto and Volkswagen in India, with one brand steadily building momentum while the other faced visible headwinds, as Skoda managed to post growth both year-on-year and month-on-month, whereas Volkswagen saw a decline on both fronts, reflecting shifting product cycles, upcoming launches, and changing buyer preferences across segments.
Skoda’s overall domestic tally stood at 6,361 units, marking a 14 per cent rise compared to 5,583 units in February last year, along with an 11 per cent improvement over January 2026, largely supported by strong demand for its newer offerings, even as certain models neared the end of their lifecycle and witnessed steep declines ahead of updates.
