Skoda must navigate cost pressures, import duties, and competition from Tata, MG, and international EV-focused OEMs.
Expected Outcome
If executed well, the strategy solidifies Skoda’s position as a premium but value-driven brand—preparing it for an electric future with a strengthened dealer network.
