The Comeback of an Icon
The Octavia vRS has always enjoyed cult status in India, majorly because of its mix of practicality and performance. After making enthusiasts wait for years, the performance-focused sedan is finally making a comeback in 2025. Skoda had showcased the car at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo earlier this year, and now with production-spec units seen out on the roads, its launch seems closer than ever.
Skoda Octavia vRS: Styling
The latest test mule spotted carries the bold and aggressive stance that the vRS badge is known for. Expect to see signature touches like the blacked-out butterfly grille, sporty bumpers, sharp LED headlamps, and dual-tone alloy wheels designed for aerodynamic efficiency. The trademark vRS paint shade - a striking lime yellow will once again set it apart on Indian roads.
Skoda Octavia vRS: Under the Hood
Powering the Octavia vRS will be a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine, producing around 265 PS and 370 Nm of torque, paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (DSG). Skoda claims the car can sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds, before topping out at 250 kmph. The sedan will also come equipped with sports suspension (lowered for better dynamics), electronic differential, and adaptive chassis control for an engaging drive.
Skoda Octavia vRS: Cabin and Features
In terms of interior feel and features, the vRS is expected to boast a dark-themed interior with sporty red accents. A 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 10-inch digital driver's display, ambient lighting, wireless charging, premium audio, and powered sports seats with memory function are some of the highlights. Skoda is also expected to load it with a 360-degree camera, multiple airbags and advanced driver aids to make sure performance is balanced with safety.
Skoda Octavia vRS: Limited Numbers
Skoda has already confirmed that the Octavia vRS will come to India as a fully imported model and only 100 units will be available. Bookings are expected to begin on October 6, 2025, with the price announcement scheduled for October 17, 2025. Deliveries will commence from November 6, 2025, giving enthusiasts little time to grab one before it's sold out.
Expected Price & Rivals
The Octavia vRS is likely to be priced around Rs. 45 lakh (ex-showroom), placing it in the same ballpark as entry-level luxury sedans like the Audi A4, BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, and the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine. But unlike its rivals, the vRS focuses more on driving dynamics and exclusivity, making it a niche yet highly desirable choice.
