Exclusive, legendary: Škoda Octavia RS returns to India; pre-bookings from October 6
New Delhi, September 2025: Škoda Auto India will bring back its performance icon, the Octavia RS, with pre‑bookings opening on October 6, 2025 exclusively via the company’s official website, ahead of a limited‑numbers introduction as fully built units for driving enthusiasts across the country.
Announcing the comeback, Brand Director Ashish Gupta said the RS badge’s two‑decade legacy embodies performance and aspiration, and that the Octavia RS is “not just the return of a car, but the return of a spirit” for those who seek exclusivity and thrill behind the wheel.
With a sharper design and bolder stance, the new Octavia RS aims to reaffirm its status as a symbol of aspiration and excitement, with pre‑bookings available for a limited window starting October 6 on Škoda Auto India’s website.
The RS badge—short for Rally Sport—draws on Škoda’s motorsport heritage to deliver track‑bred engineering for the road, a formula that first captivated Indian buyers in 2004 when the Octavia RS arrived as the country’s first turbocharged petrol passenger car; successive RS generations have since built a loyal following by blending European engineering with everyday practicality and the pure joy of driving.
