Harnessing the power of the 2.0-litre engine, the vehicle can sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in just 6.4 seconds. Moreover, the top speed is capped at 250 kmph. True to its RS designation, the vehicle is lowered by 15 mm compared to the regular model. To accentuate its sporty demeanor, the Czech brand has equipped the car with a distinct exhaust system differing from the standard version.
Upon its launch, the Skoda Octavia RS is anticipated to be priced around Rs 50 lakh because it is a CBU. If it falls within this price bracket, it will directly compete with the Volkswagen Golf GTI. Following previous trends, its availability will be limited, with only 100 units offered in the Indian market.
