Skoda Surpasses 250 Customer Touchpoints Milestone in India; Targets 350 Outlets By Next Year's End

Skoda has crossed a milestone of 250 client touchpoints in the country with the recently inaugurated outlet in Gulbarga, Karnataka. While addressing this noteworthy accomplishment, the automaker stated that it hopes to reach 350 customer touchpoints across India by the end of 2024. Skoda cited the Kushaq and the Slavia as two important sales stimulants that helped in the brand's success. In a recent development, the Slavia sedan and the Kushaq SUV from the Czech manufacturer retrieved the 10-inch touchscreen device that went missing on models in May of last year due to an inadequate supply of semiconductor chips. This 10-inch screen was formerly offered on the Kushaq and Slavia's mid-level Ambition variants. However, it is right now only available on both models' top-tier Style editions. Meanwhile, the 8.0-inch screen will remain standard on the cars' mid-level Ambition models. Let's take a more detailed look at further information.
