Skoda Kodiaq First Petrol SUV from India to Reach Mount Everest North Face Base Camp

The Czech carmaker has had its best-ever half-yearly sales already, marking significant growth in the Indian market

The Skoda Kodiaq has become the first petrol-powered SUV from India to have reached the Mount Everest North Face base camp. This feat has been recognized by both India and the Asia Book of Records. In the last few years, Skoda has experienced a massive surge in demand and sales. The heavily localized MQB A0 IN platform has been the major reason for that. That is why we have cars like the Kylaq, Slavia and Kushaq doing high volumes. This platform and localization have ensured that the service, repair and maintenance costs remain competitive.

Skoda Kodiaq is First Petrol SUV from India to Reach Mt. Everest Base Camp

In a remarkable achievement, the Skoda Kodiaq has become the first petrol SUV from India to reach the North Face Base Camp of Mount Everest. This journey has been officially recognised by the India Book of Records and the Asia Book of Records. The expedition covered more than 6,000 kilometres. It passed through India, Nepal, and China. The Kodiaq tackled tough roads, freezing temperatures, and high altitudes to reach the base camp on the Tibetan side of Everest. This drive tested the SUV in real-world conditions.

It showed how the vehicle performs in extreme weather and terrain. The journey was not just about reaching the destination, but also about proving what modern engineering can do. The Kodiaq’s success on this route highlights its strong build and reliable design. The route demanded steady handling and consistent power, both of which the vehicle delivered. While many vehicles have made it to the southern base camp in Nepal, this journey to the northern side is less common and more demanding. This milestone marks an important moment for Indian automotive efforts in global adventures.

Speaking on this occasion, Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, said, “At Škoda Auto India, we believe exploration drives progress. This achievement stands as a testament to this and finds great synergy with our strategy of being relevant, driving differentiation, and enhancing trust. Relevant because it reflects the growing ambition of Indian customers to go farther and demand more from their vehicles. Differentiated because no other petrol SUV has ever taken on such a formidable challenge and triumphed. And above all, it reinforces trust – trust in our products, our engineering, and our commitment to safety, quality, and reliability. We will continue with our focus on enabling journeys that go beyond the ordinary.”
