In a world of uncertainty, buying a used car feels risky. Many buyers worry about quality, history, or hidden flaws. Škoda Plus aims to change that perception completely.
This certified used car program delivers reliability and transparency. Customers get detailed vehicle history, technical inspections, and verified mileage. It’s a solution designed to offer peace of mind.
“All Škoda Plus cars undergo thorough technical inspections. Customers can count on dependable performance without unexpected repairs.,” says Jiří Soudek, who leads the program.
These high standards ensure trust and quality at every step.
Certified Quality for Peace of Mind
Not every car qualifies for Škoda Plus. The program follows strict rules to ensure only the best vehicles make it through.
These rules cover a car’s technical condition, mileage, and service history.
Each vehicle must pass a comprehensive technical inspection. Only cars with full-service histories are eligible.
For added security, they also come with a one-year warranty.
This level of detail reassures customers that they are buying a reliable vehicle. That is why over half a million cars have been sold in the Czech Republic alone.
Now, Škoda Plus plans to expand this success across Europe.
“We focus on delivering high-quality service, Our approach gives customers the confidence of buying new, even when it’s a used car.” says Soudek.
Škoda Plus leverages its digital platform to enhance the buying experience. Every car integrates into the broader Škoda ecosystem. Customers can browse detailed listings online with high-quality photos and verified documentation.
“Almost every buyer starts their search online,” Soudek explains. “We ensure they find clear and professional information from the start.”
This streamlined approach replicates the ease of buying a new car.
Adapting to Market Trends
The automotive market is changing rapidly—while petrol cars remain popular (43%), electric and hybrid options surge in demand. Plug-in hybrids account for 10% of sales, with electric vehicles at 6%.
Škoda Plus embraces this shift toward sustainable powertrains. The program introduces tools to support electric car buyers. These include battery condition certificates, ensuring customers know their vehicle’s battery health.
“The battery is the most expensive component of an electric car, We ensure buyers are fully informed about its condition.” Soudek explains.
This service guarantees the remaining battery capacity, offering critical peace of mind.
In addition, online calculators help customers simulate real-world scenarios. These tools estimate charging times and driving ranges and provide tips to optimize energy use tailored to individual driving habits.
Customers also enjoy a range of other benefits. Every Škoda Plus car has a mobility guarantee and the option to exchange the vehicle.
Buyers can even take the car for a thorough test drive before committing.
This customer-focused approach mirrors the process of buying new cars.
“Our goal is to make buying a used car just as enjoyable and secure, We put the customer first at every step.” Soudek emphasizes.
Electric vehicles, like the popular Škoda Enyaq, are leading this transition. In Scandinavia, for example, they top both new and used car sales.
Programs like Škoda Plus are crucial in supporting this market shift.
Driving Toward a Bright Future
The numbers show a promising outlook for the used car market. Europe expects 13 million new cars sold in 2024, compared to 40 million used cars.
With used car sales three times larger, Škoda Plus sees immense potential.
“We aim to professionalize used car sales across Europe, Our experience proves that quality and trust can transform this market.” Soudek says.
Expanding into new countries builds on the program’s proven success. By offering certified cars, detailed inspections, and excellent customer care, Škoda Plus is raising the standard.
The program’s commitment to innovation is clear. It’s designed to meet modern customer needs, from digital integration to battery certifications. Buyers enjoy transparency, convenience, and tailored services.
For many, buying a used car has been stressful and uncertain. Škoda Plus offers a refreshing alternative.
It eliminates guesswork and provides the same confidence as purchasing a new vehicle.
“We see a bright future for certified programs like this, they give customers what they deserve: trust, quality, and peace of mind.” Soudek concludes.
With a strong foundation and ambitious plans, Škoda Plus redefines the used car market. Its approach combines traditional values of reliability with modern tools and customer-centric services.
As it grows across Europe, it’s clear that Škoda Plus isn’t just selling cars. It’s transforming the way people buy them.
