Skoda Auto India’s sporty new car, the Octavia RS, is already a hit! All 100 units were booked in under 20 minutes when reservations opened on October 6, 2025, for Rs 2.5 lakh each. This happened days before the official launch on October 17, showing how much fans love this fast sedan. Deliveries will start on November 6, and the car, brought fully built from the Czech Republic, is expected to cost around Rs 45-55 lakh. Here’s everything you need to know about this exciting ride.
The Octavia RS looks sharp with a sporty style. It has a wide front grille, sleek LED Matrix headlights with daytime running lights, and 19-inch alloy wheels (not 18-inch as mentioned in your details) for a bold look. The body is 15 mm lower than the regular Octavia, giving it a racy stance, with black accents and a rear spoiler for extra flair.
Inside, you get comfy sport seats with red stitching, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and metal pedals. A big 13-inch touchscreen controls music, maps, and calls, while a 10-inch digital driver display shows speed and trip info. Extras like wireless phone charging, dual-zone air conditioning, and an 11-speaker sound system make it feel premium.
Under the hood, the Octavia RS has a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine. Unlike your info, which says 216 horsepower, the latest specs confirm it delivers 265 horsepower and 370 Nm of pulling power. This matches the global model and makes it quicker than past versions. Power goes to the front wheels through a seven-speed automatic gearbox (called DSG in some markets).
The car can zoom from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds and hit a top speed of 250 km/h. A special exhaust adds a deep growl for that sporty feel, and an electronic grip system helps it hug corners better. Like you noted, it skips the adjustable suspension (Dynamic Chassis Control) available elsewhere to keep things simple.
Safety is solid with six airbags, stability control, and smart aids like lane-keeping help and emergency braking. It comes in five colors—Mamba Green, Magic Black, Race Blue, Candy White, and Velvet Red—with green being a fan favorite that sold out first.
Ashish Gupta, Skoda’s India boss, said: “The Octavia RS is a legend here, and this sell-out proves its pull. We’re thrilled to bring it back with more power and style.” Since its debut in India in 2004, it’s been a go-to for speed lovers, and this fourth-generation model ups the game.
If you missed booking one, check with dealers after October 17—some orders might cancel once prices are final. For those who love fast, fun cars, this RS is worth watching. Visit Skoda’s website or a showroom for updates—the launch is just days away!
