Car sales at Czech car maker Skoda Auto, a unit of Germany's Volkswagen , jumped 12.6 percent year-on-year in January-September to 462,429...

...units, the company said on Thursday.

The upgraded version of its flagship mid-sized Octavia model dominated sales, with 169,582 cars sold, up 12.3 percent.

The company's new multi-purpose (MPV) Roomster was the growth leader in percentage terms, with 47,183 units sold. Roomster was launched in mid-2006.

Skoda, the largest Czech company with sales equalling to 7.1 billion euros last year, aims to make 616,000 cars this year, and reach one million by 2010.

The company's board last month approved a 2 billion euro plan for domestic expansion in the next five years.
