Škoda grew its China sales by 8.9% in Q1 to 59,200 units (1st quarter 2011: 54,400). The brand has been present in China since 2007, and China became its largest individual market by sales in 2010, repeating this performance in 2011 and in the first quarter of 2012.

“Škoda is successfully implementing its international growth strategy and is on course to selling 1.5 million cars per year worldwide by 2018. China has a large part in the brand’s sales success today, and its importance will grow further in the years ahead,” said Škoda CEO Winfried Vahland. “Entering Chinese market five years ago was a good decision for our brand. Our number four and five model lines in China will strengthen our offensive from 2013 and help us expand our favourable position in the country even further,” Vahland added.

Škoda’s new compact saloon, to be sold in Europe from 2012 and in China from 2013, will be positioned between the Fabia and the Octavia.
