Why Have The Prices Been Reduced From When Can You Benefit?
The Central Government recently updated the GST rates for passenger vehicles, particularly favouring models with smaller capacity turbo-petrol engines. As a result, cars that earlier attracted higher cess rates now fall under lower tax brackets, directly reducing their ex-showroom prices. The models like the Skoda Kylaq, Kushaq and Slavia have benefitted the most thanks to their 1-litre and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol options. Even the flagship Kodiaq has gained from a revised structure on bigger SUVs.
The new pricing is applicable from today, so buyers walking into Skoda dealerships can now avail of these reduced ex-showroom prices straight away.
Rivals
The Skoda Kylaq goes up against rivals like Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV3XO, Kia Sonet and Syros, Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger.
The Skoda Kushaq takes on the bigger ones in the compact SUV segment like Hyundai Creta, Maruti Grand Vitara, Tata Curvv, Kia Seltos, Honda Elevate, Volkswagen Taigun, MG Astor and Citroen Basalt.
The Skoda Slavia competes with the Hyundai Verna, Honda City, and its sibling, Volkswagen Taigun.
Meanwhile, the Kodiaq, being a premium offering, finds a handful of rivals in the likes of MG Gloster, Toyota Fortuner, as well as Jeep Meridian.
