Under the bonnet, the Skoda Octavia RS uses Volkswagen Group’s well-known EA888 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine tuned to deliver 265hp and 370Nm, mated to a 7-speed DSG that channels power to the front wheels. Skoda claims a 0–100kph sprint in 6.4 seconds and a governed top speed of 250kph, while a sports exhaust is standard equipment. There’s no Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) on the India-spec car.
The Skoda Octavia RS gets a clearly sporty makeover with chiselled bumpers, blacked-out exterior trim, RS badging, a lip spoiler and 19-inch aero-optimised alloy wheels. Buyers can choose from five exterior colours, including Candy White, Magic Black, Mamba Green, Race Blue and Velvet Red, paired with an all-black cabin trimmed with red contrast stitching and sports seats for a driver-centric feel.
