Skoda Octavia RS Deliveries: Over a month after Skoda Auto launched the performance-spec Octavia RS sedan in India, customer deliveries of the sedan have begun across dealerships in the country. The Czech-based auto manufacturer had opened bookings on October 6 for Rs 2.50 lakh, and all 100 units were spoken for on the first day itself. That said, the brand is expected to bring the second batch of vehicles by early 2026.
Priced at Rs 49.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the Skoda Octavia RS is around Rs 92,000 less expensive than its mechanically similar rival, the Volkswagen Golf GTI. It is a fully imported model offered in a single variant and five colour options (Mamba Green, Magic Black, Candy White, Race Blue, and Velvet Red).
Skoda Octavia RS: Engine, Performance
The Octavia RS has been brought back with a more powerful 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine, producing 261bhp and 370Nm of peak torque. This makes the sedan the most powerful Octavia yet.

Power is transmitted to the front wheels through a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox. 0-100km/h comes up in a claimed 6.4 seconds, while the top speed is limited to 250km/h. The sedan comes standard with a sports exhaust system, but misses out on Dynamic Chassis Control.
Skoda Octavia RS: Feature Highlights
Two digital displays, 3-zone climate control, an 11-speaker Canton premium audio system, Type-C charging ports, aluminium pedals, and powered and heated front seats form part of the features list. With 5 stars from Euro NCAP, the sporty sedan prioritises safety with 10 airbags, a 360-degree camera, ESC, an electronic parking brake (with auto hold), TPMS, adaptive cruise control, and park assist, among others.
