1. Skoda Slavia Facelift – Upcoming Skoda Cars
Slavia has always punched above its weight. Buyers who did their research and chose it over flashier rivals never looked back. Premium build, punchy TSI engines, a massive boot, and a genuine European driving feel at a mid-size sedan price. But it’s been over 4 years since launch, and the segment has moved on. So Skoda is giving the Slavia the update it genuinely needs.
Spy shots suggest a revised front bumper with sharper detailing, a refreshed grille with integrated lighting elements inspired by the Kushaq facelift, and connected LED tail lamps. just cleaner, more modern, and more competitive. Inside, a new black-and-beige dashboard layout is expected to make the cabin feel airier, complemented by a new 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. An electronic parking brake and rear massaging seats are also expected to arrive.
The 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre TSI turbo-petrol engines continue, with the new 8-speed transmission in 1.0-litre variants possibly carried forward from the Kushaq. Other options include a 7-speed DSG for the 1.5 TSI, and a 1.0-litre TSI with a 6-speed manual gearbox. It is expected to be priced between Rs 12 lakh and Rs 23 lakh (on-road, Mumbai), with a launch scheduled for late 2026.

2. Skoda Kodiaq RS
For years, Indian enthusiasts who wanted an RS-badged Skoda had only one option: the Octavia RS. A brilliant car, but just five seats and no ground clearance. What if you wanted that same thrill but with seven seats, all-wheel drive, and the height to go anywhere easily?
Skoda has answered that question with the Kodiaq RS, set to launch in India by June 2026 as a limited-volume CBU import, making it Skoda’s very first RS-badged SUV in the country; under the hood, it is expected to come with a 2.0-litre TSI turbo-petrol engine producing around 265 bhp and 400 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic and all-wheel drive. The global-spec model claims a 0-100 kmph sprint in 6.3 seconds and a top speed of around 231 kmph.
On the outside, the RS gets restyled bumpers, blacked-out roof rails and window frames, Skoda’s signature grille with a dark treatment, 20-inch alloy wheels, and red brake callipers. Inside, an all-dark cabin with red contrast stitching, heavily bolstered RS sport seats, a 13-inch touchscreen, and a fully digital driver display completes the performance picture. It is expected to be priced between Rs 60 lakh and Rs 68 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).

3. Skoda Superb Diesel – Upcoming Skoda Cars
It is the kind of car where you sit in the back seat and immediately understand what a large, comfortable, premium sedan actually feels like. India fell in love with it. Then Skoda pulled it from the market in 2023. But now it is back. And this time, it is bringing diesel.
The new Superb features sweptback LED headlamps, a revised front bumper, wraparound LED taillights, and a new dual-tone black-and-brown interior with a large freestanding 13-inch touchscreen, three Smart Rotary Dials for key functions, a fully digital instrument cluster, and a heads-up display.
The new-generation Superb diesel is expected to launch by October 2026 as a CBU import, powered by a 2.0-litre TDI engine producing around 193 hp and 400 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed DSG gearbox. Moreover, it is very likely to get an AWD drivetrain. Expected price around Rs 55 to 62 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).

4. Skoda Elroq
India’s EV market has been largely a domestic affair. Tata, Mahindra, MG, and Hyundai are all fighting in the same space. But now Skoda may bring one of Europe’s most acclaimed electric SUVs to India, built on VW Group’s proven MEB platform, the same foundation that underpins the Volkswagen ID.4 and Audi Q4 e-tron.
The Elroq will mark Skoda’s entry into the electric SUV space in India, expected by mid-2027, and will feature the brand’s new Modern Solid design language with a closed-off front end. Globally, it is available with 52 kWh, 59 kWh, and 77 kWh battery options. The 52 kWh provides a range of 340 km, the 59 kWh provides a range of 430 km, and the top 77 kWh version delivers up to 560 km of claimed range. The dual-motor variant produces 282 bhp with 545 Nm of torque. Fast charging from 10 to 80 per cent takes under 28 minutes.
Features include dual digital displays, a 360-degree camera, connected-car technology, Level 2 ADAS, powered front seats, and a full LED lighting package throughout. It is expected to be priced between Rs 40 to 55 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
