Skoda to launch its first EV in India by September 2025

Skoda is considering the Enyaq and Elroq electric SUVs for the Indian market.

It’s been a year since Skoda first showcased the Enyaq iV in India. Since then, there have been talks of the brand entering the electric vehicle space, but the plans are yet to materialize.

Skoda India’s brand director Petr Janeba has now confirmed that the first EV will be launched by September 2025. “Our first electric SUV is coming by September latest,” he said.

Janeba, though, stopped short of revealing the exact model that will be offered in India. “We now have the Elroq, which is also based on the MEB platform. So, the Elroq, Enyaq and the Enyaq Coupe are three cars based on the same platform. We will take the final call on which of these three will be coming to India after the EV policy from the government is finalised by March 2025,” he said.

The Skoda Enyaq is based on the MEB platform, which is shared with the Volkswagen ID.4. The Elroq is also based on the same electric architecture. Measuring 4.2 meters in length, the Elroq is slightly smaller than the Enyaq iV.
