Thrill at the Core
At the heart of the Octavia RS is a 2.0 TSI turbocharged petrol engine, producing 195 kW (265 PS) of power and 370 Nm of torque. Paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission, the car accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 250 km/h. Its advanced chassis setup, progressive steering, and sports suspension deliver precise handling and driving dynamics.
Statement on Wheels
The all-new Octavia RS continues Škoda’s bold design language, accentuated by full LED Matrix headlights, LED tail lamps with dynamic indicators, and glossy black styling elements. Sitting on striking 19-inch Elias anthracite alloy wheels with low-profile 225/40 R19 sports tyres, the car projects an unmistakably sporty and aggressive stance. Measuring 4,709 mm in length, 1,829 mm in width, and 1,457 mm in height, along with a wheelbase of 2,677 mm, and a segment-leading boot capacity of 600 litres(expandable to 1,555 litres with the rear seats folded), the Octavia RS balances sleek proportions with everyday usability. Its dynamic silhouette is further complemented by a choice of five vibrant colour options: Mamba Green, Candy White, Race Blue, Magic Black, and Velvet Red.
Athletic Elegance
Inside, the Octavia RS strikes a balance between sportiness and premium comfort. The cabin features Suedia/Leather upholstery with red contrast stitching, Sports front seats with electric adjust, memory, heating and massage functions, along with ambient lighting, and a virtual cockpit. Customers also benefit from three-zone climate control, wireless charging, and a 32.77cm infotainment system with wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Smarter. Safer. Sharper.
The Octavia RS is equipped with Škoda’s latest ADAS suite, including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Assist, and Intelligent Park Assist. Safety is further enhanced with 10 airbags, a 360-degree Area View camera, ISOFIX child seat mounts, a Head-Up Display, and driving stability systems. The car also features the premium Canton 675W 11-speaker sound system with subwoofer, along with an electrically operated boot with virtual pedal, and a bunch of Simply Clever features, among others.
Owning the Extraordinary
As with every Škoda, the Octavia RSis backed by Škoda Auto India’s industry-best ownership package, including a 4-year/100,000 km warranty and 4-year complimentary Road-Side Assistance.
The Legacy
Launched in 2001, the Octavia was Škoda’s very first car in India and set the tone for the brand’s identity as a maker of aspirational, driver-focused, and solid-built cars. The RS first came to India in 2004 as thefirst-ever turbocharged petrol engine passenger car in the country. Now, in its latest RS form, the Octavia has returned as a symbol of Škoda’s enduring commitment to India, bringing together legacy, innovation, and pure performance.
