The duo of Volkswagen and Skoda have been busy for several years with the launch of India 2.0, but what is in store for them in 2024? Well, both brands will be relying on specific imports to fill their coffers for the next 12 months. There are mid-life updates and other special editions for models like Kushaq, Slavia, Taigun and Virtus. Let’s have a closer look at Škoda and Volkswagen’s 2024 launches.
Skoda is set to relaunch the previous generation saloon in limited quantities after it was discontinued due to the implementation of BS6.2. The company will install a 190 hp 2.0-liter TSI turbo gasoline engine paired with a 7-speed DSG gearbox. However, unlike before, the Superb will not be assembled locally in India but will be imported as a CBU (completely assembled).

The second-generation Kodiaq is more practical than the previous example. It is slightly longer than the previous model, so there is more space in the third row and in the trunk. Meanwhile, the interior is shared with the next-generation Superb and will get the same power train.
