Skoda’s division at Champion Motors is the first to publish a new price list for 2026 models, reflecting price reductions of NIS 500 to NIS 13,000 across all models except the compact Scala, which increased by NIS 500.
The new price list comes after we have become accustomed to January price lists always showing increases, even when there are no tax changes, and it reflects the continuation of the wave of price reductions that began with electric vehicles. So far this year, Skoda has delivered 20,500 cars in Israel, a 7% increase, making it one of the few European brands to record sales growth. Over the past year, Skoda focused on fleet sales and was among the major winners in the new officers’ vehicle tender, and it is possible that this move is intended to help attract private customers, especially for the Kodiaq, which was reduced by NIS 9,000–13,000, against the backdrop of growing competition in the 7-seat market from Chinese brands. During the month, it will be seen whether other importers continue this trend.
Fabia: The supermini models were reduced by NIS 4,000–6,000, with the base 1.0L (115 hp) model now priced at NIS 121,000 instead of NIS 125,000. A new 1.5L (150 hp) version was also added, priced at NIS 136,000.

Octavia: Reductions of NIS 500 to NIS 4,500 in the popular family car, with the base 1.5L (116 hp) model seeing the largest drop to NIS 160,000. The 150 hp version decreased by NIS 3,000 to NIS 165,000, and the sporty RS (2.0L, 265 hp) only by NIS 2,000 to NIS 263,000, despite strong competition from the much cheaper Hyundai Elantra N.
Superb: Reductions of NIS 4,000–6,000 in the executive model, with the base 1.5L (150 hp) model reduced by nearly the maximum amount to NIS 203,500. The 2.0L (204 hp) now starts at NIS 216,000, and the luxurious L&K (265 hp) is reduced by the maximum amount to NIS 279,000.
