\u0160koda Auto is set to celebrate a series of significant anniversaries in 2026, marking key milestones in the company’s history. The first anniversary is the 125th year of \u0160koda Motorsport, which began in 1901 when Narcis Podsedn\u00ed\u010dek achieved a “moral victory” in the Paris-Berlin race on a Laurin & Klement Slavia B motorcycle. This marked the start of \u0160koda’s involvement in motorsport, which has been an integral part of the company’s DNA ever since. Today, \u0160koda is celebrating its global success with the \u0160koda Fabia RS Rally2 rally car.<\/p>\n
Another significant anniversary is the 35th year since \u0160koda joined the Volkswagen Group in 1991. This partnership has been instrumental in transforming \u0160koda into a dynamically growing global player, with access to group technology, purchasing scale, and engineering expertise. This has enabled the company to expand its model portfolio, modernize its plants, and improve the quality, safety, and connectivity of its vehicles. Today, \u0160koda offers the broadest range of models in its history, including efficient combustion, hybrid, and all-electric vehicles.<\/p>\n
The \u0160koda Octavia is also celebrating its 30th birthday, having been unveiled in 1996 as the first \u0160koda model developed entirely under the Volkswagen Group umbrella. The Octavia has been the brand’s bestseller for three decades, with each generation incorporating innovative technologies to raise standards in safety, connectivity, and efficiency. The current fourth generation continues this successful formula, combining modern design, outstanding space, and practicality, efficiency, and excellent value for money.<\/p>\n
In addition to these anniversaries, \u0160koda is also marking other significant milestones, including the 90th anniversary of the \u0160koda Favorit, the 80th anniversary of the \u0160koda 1101 “Tudor”, the 50th anniversary of the \u0160koda 120, and the 50th anniversary of the rally debut of the \u0160koda 130 RS. These anniversaries highlight \u0160koda’s rich history and its commitment to innovation, quality, and performance. Throughout 2026, \u0160koda will be celebrating these milestones with various events and activities, showcasing its heritage and its vision for the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
