ŠKODA AUTO India set the precedence in the contactless automotive purchase ecosystem with the market introduction of the OCTAVIA RS 245 over its centralized booking platform (https://www.buyskodaonline.co.in/) early this year. The overwhelming response from automobile enthusiasts and brand loyalists from across the nation prompted the Czech marque, celebrating 125 years of its rich history and heritage, to broaden the scope of its digital endeavours. Under the ‘INDIA 2.0’ project, ŠKODA AUTO will expand its geographical presence in the subcontinent, from 80 dealership facilities across 65 cities, today, to over 200 touchpoints across 150 cities, by 2025.
Zac Hollis, Brand Director – ŠKODA AUTO India, said: “We championed the online sales experience with the launch of the OCTAVIA RS 245. Today with the industry first one of a kind Virtual Conference we added three new products in our portfolio: the new RAPID 1.0 TSI, the new SUPERB and the all-new KAROQ. These provide a compelling combination of the brand’s emotive design, exquisite interiors, class leading safety and intelligent connectivity features. The latest ŠKODA offerings are deemed to be bestsellers, setting benchmarks for functionality, practicality and spaciousness in their segments.”
“The new ‘Simply Clever’ digital launch format testifies our commitment to use technology as a tool to stay connected with our patrons, more so in these unprecedented circumstances. In a phased manner, we will resume operations at our dealership facilities in strict adherence to the guidelines issued by the authorities to curtail any potential spread of the coronavirus. ŠKODA AUTO will continue to support the nation’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic with numerous CSR initiatives.” he added.
