Skoda is on course to sell one million vehicles before the end of the month, according to the latest figures.
The automaker is expected to reach the sales target by by the end of November, which is one month earlier than in 2015.
In particular, the Skoda Superb has proved the top seller, with sales up by 85.2 per cent, and it is expected the company will continue to benefit from the introduction of new models such as the Kodiaq and Octavia.
“The current financial year shows that Skoda can sustainably tap into new customer segments with a modern model range on the international markets,” said Skoda's chief executive officer Bernhard Maier.
He added: “We will also continue our growth course in 2017. The new Skoda Kodiaq is going to play an important role in this; the model will expand our range in the growing SUV segment.”
The first Skoda Kodiaqs are expected to be delivered in the UK by the end of February 2017.
