Chandigarh: In a momentous celebration of Škoda Auto India’s 25-year journey, the company has reintroduced one of its most revered performance icons – the all-new Octavia RS. Launched as a Fully Built Unit (FBU) in limited numbers, the Octavia RS has once again captured the imagination of automobile enthusiasts across the country. Demonstrating its unmatched popularity, the vehicle was sold out within just 20 minutes of opening pre-bookings, underscoring the cult-like following the RS badge commands in India.

Commenting on this remarkable milestone, Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, said, “The response to the Octavia RS has been phenomenal. This iconic model has truly ignited the passion of driving enthusiasts across India, reinforcing the cult status that the Octavia RS enjoys globally. As we celebrate 25 years of Škoda in India, the RS badge continues to represent performance, emotion, and the unwavering trust our customers place in the brand.”

Engineered for Pure Thrill

Powering the Octavia RS is a 2.0 TSI turbocharged petrol engine that produces a staggering 265 PS of power and 370 Nm of torque. This performance powerhouse accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds while being electronically limited to a top speed of 250 km/h. Mated to a slick 7-speed DSG automatic transmission, the Octavia RS combines exhilarating acceleration with precision control. With progressive steering, sports suspension, and a finely tuned chassis, the vehicle delivers an engaging and confident driving experience on every terrain.

Dynamic and Bold Design

Staying true to Škoda’s distinctive design language, the Octavia RS features sleek yet aggressive styling. Full LED Matrix headlights, LED tail lamps with dynamic indicators, and gloss black RS elements make a commanding visual statement. Its 19-inch Elias anthracite alloy wheels and low-profile performance tyres accentuate its sporty appeal. Measuring 4,709 mm in length and offering a segment-best 600-litre boot space (expandable to 1,555 litres), the Octavia RS delivers both performance and practicality. The model is available in five head-turning colours: Mamba Green, Candy White, Race Blue, Magic Black, and Velvet Red.

Sporty Interiors with Premium Comfort

The cabin of the Octavia RS is meticulously crafted to offer an athletic yet luxurious experience. With Suedia-Leather upholstery, red contrast stitching, and ergonomically designed sports seats equipped with electric adjustment, memory, heating, and massage functions, comfort meets performance in every detail. Advanced features such as ambient lighting, a 32.77 cm infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, three-zone climate control, and wireless charging further enhance the driving experience.

Advanced Safety and Smart Technology

Safety remains a key priority in the Octavia RS, which comes equipped with Škoda’s latest ADAS suite. This includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Assist, and Intelligent Park Assist. The vehicle features 10 airbags, a 360-degree Area View camera, ISOFIX mounts, and a Head-Up Display for enhanced driver awareness. The premium Canton 675W 11-speaker sound system, 11 advanced speakers, and an electrically operated boot with a virtual pedal reflect Škoda’s commitment to innovation and user convenience.

Celebrating a Legacy

The Octavia holds a special place in Škoda’s legacy as the brand’s first launch in India in 2001. It redefined the premium executive sedan segment and built a strong reputation for performance and reliability. The RS variant, first introduced in 2004, became a symbol of performance luxury and driving excitement. The reintroduction of the Octavia RS in 2025 marks a historic chapter, blending legacy, cutting-edge innovation, and the spirit of pure driving pleasure.

The all-new Škoda Octavia RS is priced at ₹49,99,000 (ex-showroom). Customers will also benefit from Škoda Auto India’s 4-year/100,000 km warranty and 4-year complimentary roadside assistance, ensuring peace of mind and unmatched ownership value.
