If you’re into cars, you’ll love what Škoda just pulled off. To celebrate 25 golden years in India, the Czech marque has served up something extra special—the Škoda Anniversary Edition. It’s slick, sporty, and strictly limited. You get style, you get substance, and yes—you get bragging rights.
Why This Matters
Škoda isn’t just marking time. They’re celebrating a quarter century of carving out a niche. And they did it by revving up three of their hottest models—the Kushaq, Slavia, and Kylaq—with exclusive flair. Each Edition is capped at just 500 units. That’s not mass production. That’s VIP parking only.
What’s Under the Hood—And Outside of It
Sure, the engines are tried‑and‑tested. The Kushaq and Slavia stick with the 1.0‑litre TSI (manual or automatic) and the punchier 1.5‑litre TSI with DSG. The Kylaq keeps it simple with the 1.0‑litre TSI married to a six‑speed manual. Reliable? Absolutely. Flashy? You bet.
Visuals That Turn Heads
All three models flaunt an all‑black exterior with bold Tornado Red highlights. Think grill, bumper, spoiler—styled to the nines. Inside, LED puddle lamps, underbody lighting, and a fog‑lamp garnish elevate the vibe. Add a fin spoiler and that unmistakable 25‑year badge on the B‑pillar, and you’ve got one heck of a looker.
The Kylaq? It’s your canvas. Choose any of seven available colours, and slap on the same slick accessories kit. That includes that nifty 360‑degree camera. Bright lights, big smiles.

You. If you’re a Škoda fan who likes to stand out. If limited runs and bold styling make your heart race. If you appreciate a hint of understated luxury and are okay with spending a premium—this is your moment.
Plus, with just 500 units per model, collectors and enthusiasts alike are likely to jump in quick. Because once they’re gone? They’re gone.
In Summary

So if you’re hunting for flair, infamy, or just a memorable ride—these editions might be your golden ticket.
