Skoda bets on safety, new launches for growth

Deccan Chronicle  

Pune: The Czech automaker Skoda is betting big on the safety quotient of its present fleet of cars to target double digit growth this year. Skoda’s popular midsize SUV Kushaq and sedan Slavia have already passed the global NCAP crash test, scoring a full 5-star rating for adult and child occupants under updated safety test protocol. “Today the key buying criteria for increasing numbers of Indian buyers has moved away from price or features to safety and our products fit the requirement,” said Petr Solc, Brand Director at Skoda Auto India. “Every Skoda, whether made for India, or the world, is fully 5-star safe for adults and children,” Solc noted, saying safety is at the core of its strategy.
