SKODA OCTAVIA RS
IN 2023, WHEN Skoda discontinued the Octavia sedan, it left a void for many enthusiasts. However, Skoda has plans to bring in the sedan’s most desirable version, the latest Octavia RS, which is based on the fourth-generation model. Being a sportier iteration of the sedan, it gets 19-inch alloy wheels, an allblack cabin theme and upholstery with red stitching and red brake callipers. This will be Skoda’s first plug-in hybrid car in India, featuring a 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine, offering an EV-only range of 60 km and a peak power of 245 PS. Expect features like wireless phone charging, power-adjustable driver seat with memory function, 10-inch touchscreen, and digital driver’s display.
Investors looking for twin engines of quality and growth.
Is it worth waiting for? Without a doubt, especially if you are a fan of sporty sedans at a relatively affordable price point. Add to it the exclusivity of owning Skoda’s first plug-in hybrid vehicle in India.
