Pre-Booking and Delivery Timeline
As previously stated, on September 17, the Octavia RS will formally go on sale in India. Pre-booking is scheduled to begin on October 6, and delivery will begin on November 6. The sedan may only be reserved on the official Skoda Auto India website.
CBU Import and Limited Units
The CBU route will be used to sell the Skoda Octavia RS in India. It will therefore be subject to high taxes, and we anticipate that its ex-showroom price would exceed Rs. 50 lakh. There will reportedly be a 100-unit limit on the initial import shipment.
Powerful 2.0L EA888 TSI Engine
The powerful EA888 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine, which produces 265 horsepower and 370 Nm of peak torque, is the Skoda Octavia RS’s standout feature. The Volkswagen Golf GTI is being serviced by the same equipment. A DSG gearbox with seven speeds is attached to the motor. The sedan has an electronically controlled top speed of 250 kmph and can reach 100 kmph from a stop in 6.4 seconds.
Aggressive RS Styling and Design Highlights
The posture of the most recent Octavia RS is athletic yet graceful. The RS variant receives several aggressive design features with the facelift model, such as sporty RS bumpers, 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, a blacked-out butterfly grille, and dual-pod matrix sharp headlights with DRLs. Furthermore, the package includes an all-black rear diffuser with twin exhaust arrangement, a modest boot-lip spoiler, and a streamlined rear profile with LED tail lamps.
Feature-Rich Global Specification Model
The Octavia RS will be packed with cutting-edge features because it is an international specification vehicle. Sports seats, a 10.25-inch completely digital instrument cluster, a 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof, a head-up display, aluminium pedals, satellite navigation, and more are some of the features.

PPX Saying
On October 17, 2025, the Skoda Octavia RS Mk 4.5 will finally arrive in India as a limited-edition CBU import. With only 100 cars available, a price tag of over Rs. 50 lakh, and performance-driven statistics like 265 horsepower, 370 Nm, and a 0–100 time of 6.4 seconds, it is obvious that this car is targeted at fans seeking power and exclusivity. With its aggressive RS appearance and abundance of high-end amenities, the Octavia RS will be a performance icon in the Indian sedan market.
