5 Key Things You Need To Know About The New Skoda Octavia RS
Marking 25 years of its journey in India, Skoda Auto India has brought back a legend - the all-new Octavia RS, priced at Rs 49.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The performance sedan returned as a limited-run, fully built unit (FBU), and enthusiasts wasted no time - every unit was sold out within just 20 minutes of pre-bookings opening. That said, here are top 5 things you need to know about the new Skoda Octavia RS.
Power & Performance
At its core, the Octavia RS is powered by a 2.0-litre TSI turbo-petrol engine producing 265PS and 370Nm of torque, mated to a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission. This powerhouse can sprint from 0-100km/h in just 6.4 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h.
The car's sports suspension, progressive steering, and RS-tuned chassis deliver sharp handling and exceptional stability, ensuring the RS remains as thrilling as ever on winding roads and open highways alike.
Design & Shades
The new Octavia RS blends elegance with aggression through LED Matrix headlights, dynamic LED tail lamps, and gloss black exterior detailing. Sitting on 19-inch Elias anthracite alloy wheels with low-profile tyres, the RS boasts a commanding and athletic stance.
Buyers can choose from five distinct colours - Mamba Green, Candy White, Race Blue, Magic Black, and Velvet Red - each highlighting a different side of the RS's sporty personality.
Features
Inside, the Octavia RS combines sportiness with high-end luxury. The cabin is upholstered in Suedia leather with red contrast stitching, while sports seats offer massage and memory functions for superior comfort.
A 32.77 cm touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, three-zone climate control, and a Canton 675W 11-speaker sound system create an immersive driving experience. Furthermore, the ambient lighting and RS-specific trim accents complete the sporty yet elegant look of the cabin.
Safety & Technology
The Octavia RS is loaded with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for enhanced safety and control. Key features include Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Assist, and Intelligent Park Assist.
Complementing these are 10 airbags, a 360° Area View camera, Head-Up Display, ISOFIX mounts, and electronic stability aids. Ground clearance stands at 128mm, ensuring confident road manners without compromising stance.
Skoda's Ownership Promise
Backing the Octavia RS is Skoda Auto India's 4-year / 100,000 km warranty and 4-year complimentary roadside assistance, reinforcing the brand's reputation for reliability and customer care.
DriveSpark Thinks
First introduced in 2004, the Octavia RS set new benchmarks for performance sedans in India with its turbo-petrol power and driver-focused dynamics. Two decades later, the RS badge returns in a more advanced, powerful and luxurious avatar - combining heritage, technology, and pure performance.
Deliveries for the 2025 Skoda Octavia RS begin from November 6, 2025, making it one of the most anticipated car launches of the year.
That said, the reintroduction of the Octavia RS not only celebrates Skoda's 25 years in India but also reminds enthusiasts why the RS badge remains one of the most revered names in performance motoring.
