In full-year 2022, Skoda sales worldwide contracted by 17%, Germany remained the largest country market, and the Octavia was the top-selling model.
2022 (January to December): Global sales of Skoda cars were 16.7% lower with 731,300 vehicles delivered. Skoda was hit hard by the war in Ukraine — not only by losing sales in Russia, previously the second-largest market for Skoda, but also the resulting severe disruption in the supply chain and a sharp increase in energy costs. Sales in Germany, by far the largest market for Skoda, were flat while India was the only major market with higher sales. The Octavia remained by far the most popular Skoda model worldwide in 2022.
