2025 Skoda Octavia RS booking and delivery dates
Deliveries to commence three weeks after price reveal.
Skoda will open order books for the Octavia RS via its official website on Monday, October 6. It is likely to fill up quickly, as the carmaker will bring just 100 units to India. Following the price reveal on October 17, deliveries will commence on November 6.
Octavia RS price likely to land in the Rs 50 lakh range.
The 2025 Octavia RS price is expected to be priced similar to the Volkswagen Golf GTI, which costs Rs 50.91 lakh. Therefore, the Octavia RS will serve as the halo model for Skoda India.
2025 Skoda Octavia RS engine and gearbox
265hp, 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, but no Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC).
The Octavia RS will come to India in UK-spec form (built in Czech Republic), so it'll be powered by the EA888 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine developing 265hp and 370Nm. This engine is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic channeling power to the front wheels, with a claimed 0-100kph time of 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 250kph.
However, there is a notable feature that isn't available in UK-spec Octavia RS models as standard – Dynamic Chassic Control. DCC effectively impacts the Octavia RS' driving manners by making constant adjustments to the suspension damping, steering system and transmission. To that end, the 2025 Octavia RS models sold in India won't offer DCC.
All prices are ex-showroom, India.
