SkodaAuto India also initiated the Skoda Prize, the largest and the most prestigious awards on the Indian visual arts scene.

Looking at the year gone by Mr. Thomas Kuehl, Director & Board Member, Sales and Marketing, SkodaAuto India said "I am extremely delighted with SkodaAuto's growth as we gear up for the exciting year ahead. The efforts and hard work put by Skoda India in year 2010 has reaped satisfying results. The calendar year 2010 was a favourable one for the Indian Economy and we were able to make the most of it through new product introductions and high impact and innovative marketing initiatives. We intend to take our success to new level in the year 2011 and continue our endeavour to offer only the best to the Indian consumer.

Mr. Kuehl further added, "SkodaAuto focused on aggressive network expansion strategy across India to boost its sales in this competitive market. Year 2010 happened to be a year of small cars. An array of cars was launched in hatchback sector but Skoda's all new Fabia maintained its niche in the market. Also, Yeti's launch in November has met with an exceptional response. Looking ahead, this year we promise that SkodaAuto's cars will continue to add more zeal and zest in customers' lives."

The year 2011 has begun and with no surprise all the automobile manufacturers have planned something or the other to offer to the ever curious Indian buyers. Apart from new launches from existing brands a number of global majors are also heading towards India which were otherwise unsure about our market.

The most interesting of all the launches from the sedan segment will be new Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire which promises to be shorter than the existing Dzire and will pull itself into the under 4 meter segment. Although the car is getting a bit shorter in length, as expected there would be no compromise done with the existing features except for the boot volume which is said to get reduced by a very small amount. Other than the length the width and height will also remain the same.
