Skoda India has officially confirmed the launch plans for the 2025 Octavia RS, and excitement is already building among enthusiasts. With limited units, a powerful turbo-petrol engine, and its status as a performance halo model for the brand, this RS is expected to sell out fast.
Here’s everything you need to know about its pricing, pre-bookings, and delivery schedule.
Bookings
Pre-bookings for the new Octavia RS will open on Monday, October 6, 2025, through Skoda India’s official website. Only 100 units will be allocated for the Indian market, making it an exclusive offering.
Given the limited availability, bookings are expected to fill up quickly. Those interested should be prepared to reserve early.
Price
Skoda will announce the official prices on Friday, October 17, 2025. Industry insiders expect the price to land in the ₹50 lakh range (ex-showroom), aligning it closely with its sibling, the Volkswagen Golf GTI (₹50.91 lakh).
This premium pricing positions the Octavia RS as Skoda’s halo performance model in India, targeting driving enthusiasts looking for a blend of practicality and speed.
Deliveries
Deliveries of the Octavia RS will start on November 6, 2025—exactly three weeks after the price announcement. Customers who manage to secure a booking will be among the first to drive home one of the most exclusive Skoda models ever sold in India.
Engine
The 2025 Octavia RS comes to India in UK-spec form, manufactured in the Czech Republic. Under the hood is the EA888 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, delivering:
- Power: 265hp
- Torque: 370Nm
- Transmission: 7-speed dual-clutch automatic
- Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive
- 0–100 km/h: 6.4 seconds
- Top speed: 250 km/h
This setup ensures that the RS remains one of the quickest sedans in its class, combining everyday usability with high-performance thrills.
Features
One notable omission from the India-spec Octavia RS is Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC).
DCC is an adaptive suspension technology that continuously adjusts damping, steering, and transmission responses to enhance handling and comfort. While it adds versatility to the driving experience, Skoda has chosen not to offer it in Indian models.
Even without DCC, the Octavia RS retains its strong appeal thanks to its performance-tuned suspension, sporty design cues, and the proven EA888 powertrain.
