Our take on this /// Verdict

The Skoda Octavia RS 245 is a compelling package for driving enthusiasts in India, offering a unique blend of performance, practicality, and exclusivity. This car is fast and exciting when you need it to be, yet comforting and luxurious when you dont. The addition of a torque-sensing VAQ e-LSD on the front axle significantly enhances its handling, making it sharper and more agile, especially in cornering. However, the price tag of Rs 35.99 lakh (ex-showroom) puts it in the territory of rear-wheel-drive competitors like the BMW 330i, which might make some buyers hesitate. Despite this, the RS 245s exceptional performance, daily usability, and exclusive nature make it a very tempting offer for those who value driving dynamics and a bit of exclusivity.

Price

The Skoda Octavia RS 245 is priced at Rs 35.99 lakh (ex-showroom) in India, which is significantly higher than its predecessor, the Octavia RS 230, by over Rs 11 lakh. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other charges, the price can easily cross the Rs 40 lakh mark. While this places it in a competitive segment with cars like the BMW 330i, the RS 245 is well-equipped and offers a unique driving experience that might justify the premium for some buyers. However, the price hike is substantial, and potential buyers need to weigh the additional features and performance against the increased cost.

Latest Updates

Friday, 25 October 2024 05:57 AM Skoda has announced a new cut-priced Select variant of the facelifted Octavia, which is expected to be priced under Rs. 40 lakh in the Indian market. This move is aimed at making the Octavia more accessible to a wider audience. I think this is a great strategy to compete in the mid-size segment.

Friday, 18 October 2024 02:32 PM The Skoda Octavia RS 245 is set to receive a power bump in its facelifted version, increasing from 242hp to 257hp, and delivering 195 kW of torque. This update is expected to enhance the vehicles performance significantly. This power boost will definitely make the Octavia RS more appealing to performance enthusiasts.

Sunday, 15 September 2024 10:27 PM The facelifted Skoda Octavia RS 245 will feature enhanced technology, including a larger 13-inch touchscreen display and improved voice recognition capabilities with integrated AI chat functionality. These updates will make the interior more modern and user-friendly. I believe these tech upgrades will be a major selling point for tech-savvy buyers.

Wednesday, 24 April 2024 01:00 AM Skoda has confirmed that the production for the facelifted Octavia RS 245 will begin in the third and fourth quarters of 2024, with the Australian model set to arrive in the first quarter of 2025. This timeline suggests that Indian buyers might see the facelifted model around the same time or shortly after.

Friday, 01 March 2024 01:06 PM The Skoda Octavia RS 245 comes with a choice of three powerful engines: a 245hp petrol, a 200hp diesel, and a 245hp petrol plug-in hybrid, although the hybrid and diesel options might not be available in the facelifted version. The petrol variant is highly recommended for its performance and driving experience.

Tuesday, 20 February 2024 05:53 AM The Octavia RS 245 features sporty styling with lowered suspension, big alloy wheels, and a subtle lip spoiler on the tailgate. These cosmetic changes enhance the vehicles aggressive look and appeal to those seeking a performance-oriented design. I think the design tweaks make the Octavia RS look really sharp.

Monday, 15 January 2024 09:11 AM The Skoda Octavia RS 245 boasts impressive safety features, including curtain airbags, front side airbags, and a front central airbag, along with advanced technologies like lane keeping and adaptive cruise control. This makes it a safe and reliable choice for family use.

Sunday, 10 December 2023 08:50 PM Skoda has emphasized the practicality of the Octavia RS 245, highlighting its spacious interior, large boot space, and comfortable ride. This makes it an excellent option for those who need a balance between performance and family-friendly features. I believe this practicality is a major selling point.

Monday, 20 November 2023 03:32 PM The Octavia RS 245 is known for its comfortable and elegant interior, featuring sports seats, Alcantara on the dash top, and vRS badges throughout. However, some plastics used in the interior may give away its budget origins. Despite this, the overall feel is premium and comfortable.

Sunday, 15 October 2023 10:04 PM Skodas reliability and customer satisfaction ratings are high, which is reassuring for potential buyers of the Octavia RS 245. The vehicle comes with a three-year/60,000-mile warranty, providing peace of mind for owners.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 03:34 PM The Skoda Octavia RS 245, with its 2-litre TSI engine, is not particularly known for its fuel efficiency, given its performance-oriented nature. In real-world conditions, you can expect a mileage of around 8-12 kmpl, depending on driving habits and road conditions. This is relatively lower compared to more economical sedans, but its a trade-off for the exceptional performance and driving experience the RS 245 offers. For buyers concerned about running costs, this might be a factor to consider, but for those prioritizing performance, its a manageable compromise.
