Skoda Octavia RS 2025 India Launch | Turbo Power & Price

The highly desirable Skoda Octavia RS is returning to India, and car fans can't be happier. The Octavia RS has been the car for performance enthusiasts because of its sporty design, powerful engine and premium features. This time, Skoda is making it even more exclusive, as only 100 units would be offered (one of the rarest launches of the year). Bookings for the Skoda Octavia RS will on October 6, 2025, with the price announcement made on 17 October; expected deliveries will start from November 6, 2025.

A Design That Blends Sporty Looks with Elegance

The 2025 Octavia RS isn’t just another sedan; it’s built to make a statement. Its sharp and aggressive styling gives it a road presence that regular sedans simply can’t match. Some of the highlights include:

• Gloss black butterfly grille that adds a bold touch

• Dual-pod matrix LED headlights with V-shaped DRLs

• Wraparound LED tail lamps with a split design

• Aerodynamic 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels

• Sleek boot lip spoiler and blacked-out mirrors

Inside, the cabin carries the same sporty yet premium vibe. The black-and-red theme sets the mood for performance, while modern touches like a 13-inch touchscreen, 10-inch digital display, wireless charging, heated seats, and premium audio ensure that comfort isn’t compromised.

Power Under the Hood: A True RS Experience

Performance has always been the RS badge’s biggest selling point, and the new Octavia RS sticks to that tradition. It is powered by the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol EA888 engine, producing an impressive 265 PS of power and 370 Nm of torque.

Key performance numbers include:

• 0–100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds

• Top speed electronically limited to 250 km/h

• 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox with smooth, fast shifts

Although the India version won’t get Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC), Skoda has tuned the suspension for a stiffer setup, giving drivers sharp handling and confidence at high speeds. Add in upgraded brakes and a limited-slip differential, and you have a sedan that’s made for enthusiasts.

Packed with Technology and Safety Features

The Octavia RS isn’t only about power and design. Skoda has ensured that the car is loaded with technology and safety features to match its premium price.

Tech highlights include:

• 13-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto

• Heads-up display (HUD) projecting information onto the windshield

• 10-inch fully digital driver’s display

• Ambient lighting with multiple color options

For safety, Skoda hasn’t cut corners. Buyers get:

• Multiple airbags (front, side, and curtain)

• 360-degree parking camera with surround view

• Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) including lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring

• Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and electronic parking brake with auto-hold

But what makes the RS stand out is its exclusivity. Only 100 units are being brought to India as Completely Built Units (CBUs) from the Czech Republic. This makes it a collector’s car for enthusiasts who want performance, luxury, and rarity in one package.
