Skoda confirmed that it is going to hike the prices of all its vehicles in our market from January 1 2021. The price hike is pinpointed to go up by up to 2.5 per cent. As per its latest statement, the price changes are the result of the increase in production and material cost caused by the recent “significant volatility in the global commodity prices and foreign exchange rates”.

It is a common practice for all car manufacturers to revise the price scheme at the beginning of the year. Before Skoda, we have seen multiple carmakers to announce their plan to hike of the prices of its line-up, from the largest car brands like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai Mahindra, Kia, to less popular brands like Honda, Renault, Ford, Volkswagen and more. Similar to Skoda, most of them cites the increment of production cost as the main reason for the price updates.
