Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

The Skoda Laura vRS is a compelling package that blends sportiness, practicality, and a feel-good factor, although it falls short of being a true vRS in the purist sense. The 1.8 TSI engine is a standout, offering strong performance and the ability to pull hard from anywhere in the rev band. The suspension setup is commendable, providing a smooth ride and stable handling, even though it can get unsettled during quick direction changes. The cars practical side is evident in its spacious 560-litre boot and comfortable seating for long journeys. However, the vRS could have been more driver-centric, especially with wider tyres to enhance its cornering capabilities. Despite this, it remains a well-rounded car that is both fun to drive and practical for daily use.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

The 2024 Skoda Octavia vRS has been updated with a more powerful 2.0 TSI engine, producing 261 bhp, a 20 bhp increase over its predecessor. This engine is paired with a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission, allowing the car to go from 0-100 kmph in 6.4 seconds. The vRS also features a sporty design with gloss black trim and 19-inch wheels. I think this update makes the vRS a compelling choice for those seeking both performance and practicality.

Skoda has expanded its Octavia SportLine range to include a new 2.0 TDI diesel variant, offering 148 bhp. This new engine joins the existing petrol options and is available in both hatch and estate forms. The SportLine trim emphasizes sporty aesthetics with 18-inch alloy wheels and gloss black trim elements. I believe this addition will appeal to those looking for a balance between performance and fuel efficiency.

The 2024 Skoda Octavia vRS features advanced technology, including a 13-inch infotainment system, a 10-inch Virtual Cockpit, and an optional head-up display. The interior also includes sports seats with contrast red stitching and lumbar support with a massage function. These upgrades enhance the overall driving experience and comfort.
November 16, 2024
Skoda has dropped the diesel and plug-in hybrid options for the Octavia vRS in its latest facelift, now offering only a 265hp petrol engine. This change reflects the shifting market preferences away from diesel engines. The car still maintains its practical and spacious nature, making it a great family hot hatchback.
November 10, 2024
The 2024 Skoda Octavia vRS benefits from a chassis 15mm lower than the regular Octavia, improving its driving dynamics. Additionally, it features a VAQ electrohydraulic differential lock for better grip when exiting corners. These enhancements make the vRS more enjoyable to drive.

Price

Pricing details and changes

The Skoda Laura vRS, when it was available in the Indian market, was priced around 22-25 lakhs ex-showroom, depending on the location and any additional features. On-road prices would have been slightly higher, typically ranging from 25-30 lakhs, including taxes, registration, and insurance. While these prices are historical, they give an idea of the cars positioning in the market. For those considering a pre-owned model, prices can vary widely based on the cars condition, mileage, and maintenance history, but generally, you can expect to pay between 8-15 lakhs for a well-maintained pre-owned Laura vRS.
