Skoda Auto India has released its monthly sales numbers for October 2021, during which, the company sold 3,065 units in the country. Compared to 1,421 units that were sold during the same month in 2020, Skoda witnessed a year-on-year growth of 116 per cent. Now Skoda says that its sales were largely driven by demand for the new Kushaq compact SUV, which is right now the company's best-selling model. Considering the Kushaq was not on sale in India in October 2020, the comparison won't be ideal, and this is merely an anomaly.
A more apt comparison would be with September 2021, when the company sold 3,027 cars in India. Compared to it, Skoda Auto India witnesses a month-on-month growth of 1.2 per cent in October 2021.
Skoda says that in addition to the Kushq, the numbers have been on the rise for the Superb, Octavia and Rapid too

In fact, Skoda says that the numbers have been on the rise for the Superb, Octavia and Rapid too, all of which have contributed to the increasing sales volumes.
