Skoda, a Czech car manufacturer based in Mladá Boleslav, was established in 1895 in the Bohemian Kingdom, which was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now divided into the Czech Republic). It was originally known as Laurin & Klement, named after its founders Václav Laurin and Václav Klement. In 1948, Skoda Auto, then owned by Skoda Works, became a state-owned enterprise. After 1991, Skoda gradually underwent privatization and became a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group in 2000.
The Skoda brand officially entered the Vietnamese market in September 2023, with its official distributor being TC Motor. Currently, Skoda only sells 2 models in Vietnam, Kodiaq and Karoq.
