Skoda Octavia RS confirmed to come to Bharat Mobility Show 2025

Skoda’s performance sedan, the Octavia RS, will be present at the Bharat Mobility Show in January 2025. This news has been confirmed by Petr Janeba, brand director, Skoda Auto India. “Bringing Octavia RS to India or Kodiaq RS to India is an option. Whether it’s only (as a) CBU, probably yes. We’re bringing Octavia RS to Bharat Mobility in January,” Janeba said.

At the moment however, it is not clear whether the new Octavia RS will be launched in the Indian market at the Bharat Mobility Show, or be merely displayed, like the Enyaq EV was previously.

The Octavia RS, which is the performance oriented trim of the Skoda Octavia sedan, is powered by a 2-litre TSI petrol engine producing 268bhp and 370Nm, and is mated to a DSG gearbox. The RS version of the Octavia is also sharper and more aggressive when it comes to the design, clearly highlighting its performance-oriented intent.
