Below are the current prices for the most popular models (as of May 2026):

• 🚗 Octavia: from 1,899,000 rubles (1.6 TSI, 150 hp) to 2,999,000 rubles (2.0 TSI, 245 hp, RS version)
• 🚙 Kodiaq: from 3,299,000 rubles (1.5 TSI, front-wheel drive) to 4,899,000 rubles (2.0 TDI, all-wheel drive, 7 seats)

• 🌍 Kushaq (for India, but available in Russia): from 1,799,000 rubles (1.0 TSI) to 2,299,000 rubles (1.5 TSI, automatic)

Please note hybrid versions: for example, Octavia iV and Superb iV are equipped with a system plug-in hybrid, which allows you to travel up to 60 km on electric power. This is relevant for cities with entry restrictions for gasoline cars (for example, Moscow after 2026). Moreover, the cost of such models is only 20-25% higher than that of analogues with internal combustion engines.

Owner reviews: pros and cons of purchasing through Auto.ru

Analysis of reviews on independent sites (for example, Drive2 or Avto.ru) shows that the majority of customers are satisfied with the online ordering process through Skoda Auto.ru, but there are also typical complaints. For example, many note delivery delays (up to 3-4 months for popular models like Kodiaq), as well as discrepancies between colors in photographs and in reality (especially for shades Velvet Red and Race Blue).

Among the advantages most often mentioned are:

• ✅ Price transparency — all taxes and fees are indicated on the site, there are no hidden fees.
• ✅ Flexible trade-in conditions — you can rent out any car, even one not made in the Czech Republic.
• ✅ Free shipping to a dealer within a radius of 200 km from Moscow or St. Petersburg.
• ✅ Online order status tracking through your personal account.

However, there are also critical points. For example, owners Enyaq iV complain about slow charging at stations with a power of less than 50 kW (time to 100% increases from 40 minutes to 2 hours). And the buyers Octavia note that the basic configurations do not have heated steering wheel, although this is the standard for competitors like Volkswagen Golf.

⚠️ Attention: When applying for a loan through the website, some dealers impose additional options (for example, extended warranty or anti-corrosion treatment). Their cost can reach 100,000 rubles, but you can refuse them - this does not affect the approval of the loan.

Interesting trend: about 30% of buyers Kamiaq and Scala choose individual interior trim (eg leather seats Nappa or decorative wood inserts). This option increases the cost by 50,000–80,000 rubles, but significantly increases the comfort and prestige of the car. At the same time, the website has a visualizer that shows how the salon will look with the selected materials.

• 🔄 Trade-in with premium - when trading in an old car for a new one Škoda adds 20,000–30,000 rubles to the market value.

Pay special attention credit programs. For example, in 2026 the bank Raiffeisen offers a loan for Octavia and Karoq at 3.9% per annum with a down payment of 30%.
