V\u00f3\u00f3r deze beslissing overwoog het merk vorig jaar om de PHEV-technologie van SAIC te gebruiken voor zijn Chinese modellen.<\/p>\n<p>Skoda betrad de Chinese markt voor het eerst in 2005 via een partnerschap met SAIC Volkswagen en lanceerde zijn merk officieel in 2006. De reis naar de lokale markt begon met het debuut van het eerste in eigen land geproduceerde model, de Octavia, in 2007. Gepositioneerd als een \u201cbetaalbare Duitse auto\u201d met hoge kosten-prestaties, won Skoda snel aan populariteit en bereikte in 2018 zijn verkoopspunt met 341.000 leveringen.<\/p>\n<p>Op zijn hoogtepunt was China wereldwijd de grootste markt voor Skoda, ondersteund door een dealernetwerk van meer dan 500 verkooppunten en een gevarieerd productaanbod, waaronder populaire sedans en SUV's zoals de Octavia, Superb en Kodiaq.<\/p>\n<p>De periode na de piek in 2018 zag Skoda echter een dramatische terugval in China. De verkoop kelderde tot 15.000 eenheden in 2025, een duizelingwekkende daling van 95% ten opzichte van de piek. Deze scherpe daling bracht het marktaandeel terug tot minder dan 0,1% en leidde tot een aanzienlijke inkrimping van de verkoopkanalen.<\/p>\n<p>Veel van de overgebleven dealers zijn ge\u00efntegreerd in SAIC Volkswagen showrooms als \u201cshop-in-shop\u201d formules, waardoor de onafhankelijke operationele capaciteit van het merk effectief is uitgehold. Het is nogal vreemd dat Skoda, dat het de laatste tijd erg goed doet in Europa met zijn nieuwe volledig elektrische modellen, Chinese klanten niet meer kan overtuigen.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_183446\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-183446\" style=\"width: 1740px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-183446 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Scherm%C2%ADafbeelding-2026-03-26-om-10.32.14.png?resize=640%2C395&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Scherm%C2%ADafbeelding-2026-03-26-om-10.32.14.png?w=1740&amp;ssl=1 1740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Scherm%C2%ADafbeelding-2026-03-26-om-10.32.14.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-183446\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Het lijkt een beetje vreemd dat Skoda's volledig elektrische Elroq, Europa's nummer twee EV bestseller in 2025, de Chinese klant niet zou kunnen overtuigen. Problemen met de prijs? \/Skoda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>China stopt medio 2026, focus op India en Zuidoost-Azi\u00eb<\/h4>\n<p>Omdat buitenlandse autofabrikanten te maken hebben met hevige concurrentie van opkomende lokale merken, daalde de verkoop van Skoda vorig jaar tot slechts 15.000 eenheden. \u201cHet bedrijf zal Skoda-modellen blijven verkopen op de Chinese markt in samenwerking met een regionale partner tot medio 2026,\u201d zei Skoda in een verklaring. De dienst na verkoop voor Skoda-auto's zal ook in de toekomst in China worden aangeboden, voegde het bedrijf eraan toe.<\/p>\n<p>Als onderdeel van een strategische herpositionering om zijn wereldwijde activiteiten te optimaliseren, zei Skoda dat het zijn aanwezigheid in India en Zuidoost-Azi\u00eb wil versterken. De automaker zag de verkoop in deze opkomende Aziatische markten in 2025 al groeien.<\/p>\n<h4>Moeilijke jaren voor VW Groep<\/h4>\n<p>Moedermaatschappij Volkswagen heeft een paar moeilijke jaren achter de rug in China, waar oudere autofabrikanten blijven worstelen in een door technologie gedreven EV-markt. Lokale merken BYD en Geely hebben het Duitse bedrijf ingehaald in de totale verkoop, waarmee een einde is gekomen aan de jarenlange dominantie in het land.<\/p>\n<p>In tegenstelling tot de volledige terugtrekking van Skoda hopen Volkswagen en zijn luxedochter Audi het verloren terrein in China terug te winnen met een reeks nieuwe productlanceringen. De ID.UNYX 08, het eerste gezamenlijk door Volkswagen en Xpeng ontwikkelde model, is in China al in massaproductie gegaan.<\/p>\n<p>Op woensdag is Audi in China begonnen met de voorverkoop van de A6L e-tron, een middelgrote tot grote luxe elektrische sedan die de verkoop van EV's in 's werelds grootste automarkt moet stimuleren. Ook worden daar de eerste AUDI-modellen ge\u00efntroduceerd die speciaal gericht zijn op de Chinese markt.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Czech carmaker Skoda, part of the Volkswagen Group, will officially exit China by mid-year, underscoring the challenges foreign brands face amid fierce competition in the world&#8217;s largest auto market.
