Skoda will soon launch a new vehicle in India. This vehicle has been named the Skoda Octavia RS. This vehicle offers sporty looks and excellent performance. Pre-bookings have already begun ahead of the launch. Let’s explore the features of this vehicle and find out if it’s right for you.
Elegant and Premium Interiors:
The Skoda Octavia RS features an all-black interior with red inserts. This design gives it a sporty and premium feel. For comfortable seating, the car features sports seats and RS badging. A 13-inch central display and navigation system are standard. Features include a three-spoke steering wheel and electric adjustable seats.
Digital and Smart Technology:
The Skoda Octavia RS features a 10-inch digital instrument cluster, memory function, and seat cushions. Carbon fiber elements and aluminum-finished pedals add to its attractive appearance. Its LED matrix headlights and rear LED lights make it stylish and safe. The vehicle’s 18- and 19-inch alloy wheels also enhance its sporty appearance.
Powerful Engine and Excellent Performance:
This car is expected to be powered by a 2-liter TSI engine, which produces 265 horsepower and 370 Nm of torque. This represents 15 kW more power than the outgoing version. Equipped with a 7-speed DSG transmission, this car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds. Its top speed is claimed to be 250 km/h.
When will pre-booking start?
Pre-booking dates for the Skoda Octavia RS will be announced soon. Interested customers can book the car through Skoda’s official website or at dealerships. Pre-booking slots will be limited, so book soon.
Additionally, the Skoda Octavia RS will be launched in India on October 17, 2025. This model will be available as an FBU (Fully Built Unit). Following its launch, sales will be limited. Therefore, interested buyers should make a quick decision.
Overview & Return to India
The Octavia RS is making a comeback in India in November 2025.
It will be imported as a fully built unit (CBU), with a limited initial batch of 100 units.
The RS had been absent from the Indian market since about 2023, when the regular Octavia was shelved under stricter emission norms.
Engine & Performance:
The RS comes with a 2.0-litre TSI turbo petrol engine, mated to a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox.
Power & torque: roughly 261 bhp (or ~265 PS in some sources) and 370 Nm torque.
Performance claims:
0-100 km/h in about 6.4 seconds.
Top speed electronically limited to 250 km/h.
Design, Styling & Features
Visual upgrades vs regular Octavia: blacked-out grille, sharper front bumper / bigger air intakes, RS badging, dual exhaust tips, rear diffuser.
Ride height lowered by about 15 mm vs standard Octavia.
Electronics & tech:
13-inch infotainment screen.
Heads-Up Display.
10-inch fully digital driver display (“cluster”).
Safety & driver aids: multiple airbags (front, side, curtain), driver assistance systems.
Drawbacks & What’s Not Present:
The RS in India won’t get Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) as standard. The company said this couldn’t be altered in the UK spec import rule they’re using.
Fixed features: There seems to be no option to change the 19-inch “Elias” anthracite wheels or some other equipment; colours will have limited choices.
Price & Exclusivity:
Expected ex-showroom price in India: ₹50-55 lakh.
Only 100 units in initial import, so it will be fairly exclusive.
