Keep up with the latest Škoda news

Škoda UK has developed a new addition to its award-winning Enyaq range in the form of a commercial Cargo variant. The new model, which has been developed with conversion specialists Strongs Plastic Products Ltd, will be available exclusively to fleet customers via Škoda’s Area Fleet Managers.

Škoda UK has launched a new TV advert campaign, called ‘Electric, but Škoda’, a tongue in cheek take on outdated and misconceived stereotypes of electric car drivers.

Seventy-five years ago, Škoda lined up for the first time at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans with the Škoda Sport racing special. This unique car, meticulously restored to its original condition, has since made several return appearances on the renowned circuit as part of the prestigious Le Mans Classic for historic sports cars. This year, as Škoda celebrates its 130th anniversary, the car was again among the highlights of the event, also due to its performance on the track.

The 112th Tour de France gets underway tomorrow, and Škoda Auto is once again joining as the main partner – its 22nd year in this role. The carmaker is providing up to 225 fully electric or plug-in hybrid  support vehicles for the organisers. Among them will be two ‘Red Cars’ – the new Škoda Enyaq and Superb iV – for Race Director Christian Prudhomme. Škoda is also the longstanding sponsor of the green jersey for the leader of the points classification and supplies the trophies for the overall winner, points leader, mountain classification leader, and best young rider.

Škoda has dominated the 2025 Auto Express New Car Awards by claiming no fewer than four category wins along with the coveted Car of the Year award. In a remarkable haul of silverware, the new Elroq took top honours by winning both its sector and the overall title. The brand’s latest all-electric SUV was joined on the winner’s podium by the Octavia, Superb and Kodiaq, all of which proved unbeatable in their respective categories. The Elroq’s win marks the fifth time that a Škoda model has been named Auto Express Car of the Year.

Apparently, Gus Greensmith and co-driver Jonas Andersson are made for rough events. After winning WRC2 at Safari Rally Kenya with RaceSeven’s Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, the British-Swedish duo finished the gruelling Acropolis Rally Greece second in the category.

Škoda Auto has taken another significant step toward future-proofing its main plant in Mladá Boleslav by laying the foundation stone for an advanced paint shop. Scheduled to open in 2029, the facility will have a daily capacity of up to 1,600 units. The state-of-the-art facility will utilise automation, robotics, and advanced technologies to enhance the quality of each protective coating applied. Capable of painting vehicles built on both internal combustion (ICE) and electric platforms, the facility will significantly enhance operational efficiency and flexibility.

The new Škoda Superb has been hailed by Autocar as one of the finest cars it has ever tested, earning the magazine’s prestigious Five-Star Car award. Reserved for only the most exceptional vehicles, Autocar’s five-star rating is rarely given.
