Škoda Auto India is all set to reignite the passion of performance enthusiasts with the much-anticipated comeback of its most iconic sedan, the Octavia RS. Pre-bookings will officially open on 6th October 2025, exclusively through the Škoda Auto India website. The model will be available in India as a Fully-Built Unit (FBU) in limited numbers, offering unmatched driving dynamics, a bold new design, and the unmistakable RS spirit.
Speaking on the occasion, Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, said:
“Earlier this year, we promised that a global icon would return to India. Today, I’m proud to announce that we’ve delivered on that promise with the Octavia RS. This badge carries an unmatched legacy, one that has sparked passion among enthusiasts across the globe for over two decades. With the all-new Octavia RS launch in India, we’re not just bringing back a car. We’re bringing back an emotion — a legend that continues to define performance, aspiration, and the true spirit of driving.”
With its return in 2025, the all-new Octavia RS once again takes its place as an aspirational icon — sharper, bolder, and more exclusive than ever before. Pre-bookings will be open for a limited period only, starting 6th October 2025, exclusively online.
The RS badge — short for Rally Sport — has, for generations, stood as a symbol of performance, precision, and driving thrill. Rooted in Škoda’s rallying heritage, RS models embody motorsport-inspired engineering for the road. In India, the Octavia RS first debuted in 2004 as the country’s first turbocharged petrol-engine passenger car, instantly building a cult following. Since then, every new RS generation has deepened its legendary appeal, blending European engineering excellence with everyday practicality and the thrill of pure driving excitement.
