Now in gas and diesel: the new Skoda Octavia RS debuted
Four months ago, Skoda introduced the hybrid version of the Octavia RS, which received the iV prefix in the title. She became the first electrified “charged” model of the Czech brand.

Acceleration to “hundreds” takes 6.7 seconds, and the maximum speed is limited at around 250 km / h.
the diesel version is equipped with a 2.0-liter tdi-unit, which develops 2 hundred hp. power and 400 Nm of torque. The motor is combined exclusively with the DSG gearbox, and an all-wheel-drive system is available as an option. The diesel Octavia RS accelerates from zero to “hundreds” in 6.8 seconds.
All versions of the Octavia RS received a sports body kit that debuted earlier on the RS iV model, a blackened radiator grille, unique bumpers, exclusive LED fog lights, and matrix headlights. The image is completed by 18-inch black rims with red brake calipers.
The interior of the “charged” Octavia is made in black, which is complemented by decorative inserts and red stitching. The equipment includes sports seats, a three-spoke steering wheel covered in leather, a digital dashboard, and multimedia with an enlarged screen.
