Skoda Anniversary Edition Launched in India: Kushaq, Slavia & Kylaq Get 360-degree Camera, Limited to 500 Units

Skoda Auto India has launched the Skoda Anniversary Edition, a limited-run series based on the Kushaq, Slavia, and Kylaq. Capped at just 500 units for each model, these editions commemorate the brand’s 25 years in the Indian market with exclusive exterior design elements, few interior additions, and an accessories package. It is to be noted that the Skoda 25th Anniversary Editon treatment does not extend on to the Kodiaq range. Most recently SAVWPIL added Bentley to India operations portfolio. SAVWPIL will handle institutional sales, service, marketing and drive growth for Bentley in India.
