DreamLease is always on the lookout for the latest innovations in the automotive world, and Škoda Auto has delivered a stellar performance in 2024. With over 925,000 vehicles produced globally – a 4.2% increase on the previous year – Škoda’s momentum shows no signs of slowing. Here’s what this remarkable year means for drivers and why it could be the perfect time to consider a Škoda for your next lease.
Driving Innovation and Sustainability
Škoda Auto achieved its success by focusing on innovation and flexibility. The Mladá Boleslav plant, Škoda’s main production hub, produced 575,000 vehicles last year, cementing its reputation as a global leader. What’s unique? This plant combines internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicle (EV) production on one line, allowing it to seamlessly adapt to shifting demand.
One standout development is the forthcoming all-electric Elroq. Set to enter series production soon, this compact SUV promises to bring electric driving to the masses, with a daily production capacity of 600 units. Whether you're an eco-conscious driver or simply after the latest technology, the Elroq is sure to catch your attention.
Škoda also made strides in EV component production. In 2024, it manufactured over 280,000 battery systems for Volkswagen Group models, adding to the milestone of 1 million battery systems produced since 2019. Leasing an EV has never been more appealing, as Škoda continues to optimise its battery tech.
Expanding Horizons
Škoda’s ambition isn’t confined to Europe. The Czech carmaker strengthened its global footprint in 2024, with exciting developments in India and Vietnam. The introduction of the Kylaq compact SUV – Škoda’s first entry into the popular sub-4-metre segment – is a major highlight. Produced in India, the Kylaq positions Škoda as a serious player in emerging markets.
Vietnam, one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic economies, is also on Škoda’s radar. With production of the Slavia and Kushaq models from Indian CKD kits set to launch this year, Škoda aims to capture ASEAN market share. This globalisation effort ensures more customers worldwide can experience Škoda’s blend of style, performance, and practicality.
Engineering Excellence
Škoda’s reputation for reliability is backed by its engine and transmission production. In 2024, the Mladá Boleslav plant celebrated 125 years of engine development, producing nearly 500,000 engines and over 1 million transmissions. For drivers, this heritage translates to vehicles engineered with precision, whether you’re after smooth automatic transmissions or powerful turbocharged engines.
