ŠKODA’s Best Year Ever Celebrated by 7 Year Warranty Promotion

ŠKODA just recorded its best ever year in Australia so now we have 7 Year Service packs. As a special launch promotion, until December 31 the warranty is extended by 2 years, to a 7-year warranty.

The temporary extension of the regular 5-year warranty would be welcome, and includes infotainment systems or starter batteries, which some other warranties omit. There is still a way to go to reach KIA’s permanent 7 year warranty though.

ŠKODA sold 7120 cars to August 31, 2021. This eclipsed the 2019 record of 7001, and that was for a full year.

ŠKODA brough in a standard five-year warranty, and was the first European car mekr to do so. So far, 15,000 Service Packs have been sold, making up 60% buyers fir 2021.

The 7 Year Service pack provides the first 3 services at no cost. It will stay in place after the “7 year warranty” launch promotion expires.

ŠKODA Australia Director, Michael Irmer, said “These are 7 years of full cover without common exclusions such as infotainment systems or starter batteries,” Mr Irmer said.

“We remain intent on becoming a leading brand in the sphere of lifetime ownership experience, with Service and Maintenance Subscription being a no commitment, ‘pay as you go’ offer complemented by the popular Service Packs.”

“With ŠKODA Finance we can also guarantee the minimum future value of the vehicle, together with Service pack and ŠKODA Insurance all that can be combined in our ‘No Worries Bundle’.”

Mr Irmer, who has led ŠKODA Australia since 2013, said that the brand’s sales growth – despite the unavailability of some current variants and impending production delays due to the global shortage of semi-conductors – reflected ŠKODA’s “emergence from its earlier niche status”.

“While I still see us very much as a challenger brand, there is growing awareness of ŠKODA’s unique, Simply Clever qualities,” he said.

“I think we have shown that value does not have to be built on a budget price sticker. Our customers have typically selected highly specified variants, which we make easy for them by bundling a wide array of options into attractive packages.”

Mr Irmer said that while production issues – notably of the award-winning Kamiq 85TSI – had curtailed an even better YTD result, ŠKODA remained the “fastest growing European brand”

“We have proven adept at finding solutions to supply, for example introducing the Kamiq 110TSI while we await the renewed availability of the 85TSI,” he said. “We hope to have the refreshed version of the Kodiaq SUV before year’s end with the new petrol version of the Kodiaq RS early in the New Year. Fabia, which has continued to be a successful entry point to the brand, arrives in a new generation during 2022.

“Electrification is firmly on the agenda. Next year we hope to announce timing for the introduction of the Enyaq, which has been resoundingly successful in Europe.”
