The design of the 2025 Skoda Octavia RS is reinforced by the performance of its 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine. This engine is calibrated to deliver 216 hp and produce a peak torque of 370 Nm. The power is transmitted to the front wheels via a seven-speed DSG transmission. According to the UK-spec model, this version will not include the Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) available in other regions.
Utilizing the power from the 2.0-litre engine, the vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds. Additionally, the maximum speed is limited to 250 km/h. True to its RS designation, the car sits 15 mm lower than the standard model. To enhance its sporty character, the Czech manufacturer has fitted the vehicle with a unique exhaust system that differs from the regular version.
