Skoda Auto India has officially opened bookings for the second batch of its highly sought-after performance sedan, the Octavia RS. Following the rapid sell-out of the initial batch of one hundred units last year, the brand has allocated a much smaller batch of just fifty units for this release. This vehicle is a completely built-up import, carrying an ex-showroom price in New Delhi of fifty-six million sixty-nine thousand rupees. Deliveries for this latest allocation are anticipated to commence around the festive season.
Booking Priority and Color Options
Customers who attempted to secure an allocation during the previous rollout will receive priority treatment for this limited batch. The car is being offered in three distinct exterior shades, namely Mamba Green, Velvet Red, and Magic Black. Propelled by a two-liter turbo-petrol engine that churns out two hundred sixty-five horsepower, it remains a compelling choice for automotive enthusiasts who value high-speed dynamics. Given the scarcity of units, a swift sell-out is widely anticipated.
Aggressive Exterior and Cabin Styling
The design language of the Octavia RS leans heavily into an aggressive and sporty aesthetic. The front fascia is dominated by a honeycomb grille, distinct RS badging, matrix LED headlights, and V-shaped daytime running lights. Gloss black accents, nineteen-inch alloy wheels, red brake calipers, a rear spoiler, and twin exhaust tips heighten its road presence. Inside, the cabin adopts an all-black theme accented by contrasting red stitching. The front sports seats come equipped with power adjustment, memory settings, heating capabilities, and a massage function, complemented by a three-spoke steering wheel and ambient lighting.
Advanced Technology and Safety Equipment
Cabin technology is headlined by a thirteen-inch touchscreen infotainment system featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Drivers also benefit from a ten point two five-inch digital instrument cluster, a head-up display, a three-zone climate control system, an eleven-speaker Canton sound system, a three hundred sixty-degree camera, a powered tailgate, and a wireless smartphone charger. Safety provisions are comprehensive, boasting ten airbags, level two advanced driver assistance systems including adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and lane assist, alongside electronic stability control and ISOFIX anchorage points.
Engine Performance and Driving Dynamics
Under the hood lies a two-liter TSI turbo-petrol engine that delivers two hundred sixty-five horsepower and three hundred seventy newton-meters of torque. Power is channeled to the front wheels via a seven-speed direct-shift gearbox. The sedan accomplishes the sprint from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in just six point four seconds, while its top speed is electronically capped at two hundred fifty kilometers per hour. A sport-tuned suspension setup and progressive steering further refine the driving experience, making the Octavia RS a balanced blend of raw power and everyday usability.
