Auto news India - Skoda news

Last week had a new Kia MPV teased, the upcoming MG Windsor EV Pro spied and a popular Hyundai nameplate hitting a milestone alongside updates on Volkswagen, Skoda and Mahindra cars

April saw the launch of blacked-out editions, model year updates, new-gen SUVs, and a special edition of a two-door roadster with a manual gearbox choice

The recall is issued for over 25,000 units manufactured between May 24, 2024 and April 1, 2025

From SUV-coupes like the Mahindra XEV 9e to sub-4m SUVs including the Kia Syros, Bharat NCAP has tested a total of 5 cars in 2025 till now

Not only does the list includes facelifts of popular mass-market models, but it also features performance-focused cars and premium EVs

True to the RS name, the Skoda Kodiaq RS offers multiple upgrades catered towards a sportier driving experience over the standard model

Models like Tata Tigor, Hyundai Verna and Honda City records the maximum decline in sales amidst an overall slump in the segment

With the reintroduction of diesel engines, Skoda will become a more lucrative option for fuel conscious customers

Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet and Mahindra XUV 3XO reported year-on-year growth while models like Nexon, Venue, Magnite and Kiger have seen a decline in sales

While most of these features are not dealbreakers, the Tiguan R Line’s additional safety kit is a noteworthy miss in the new Kodiaq

Hyundai Creta, Maruti Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder are the only three models to register growth in FY25

Both SUVs have debuted in their new generation avatars recently, which made us ask our CarDekho Instagram followers about their choice between the two models

While the 2025 Kodiaq and Tiguan R Line share most of the features, the Skoda SUV gets a few things extra

The Kodiaq and Fortuner, though both equipped with good features and powertrains, are built for completely different types of buyers

While most of the Simply Clever Features are standard to both the Sportline and Selection L&K, the latter gets three additional fitments for its boot
