Skoda India are expected to bring back the Octavia RS during the festive season of 2025, marking the return of the performance-focused variant to the Indian market. Based on the latest-generation Octavia already on sale overseas, the RS will make its debut via the CBU (Completely Built Unit) route With limited options in the segment for sedan buyers seeking stronger performance and sporty styling, the Octavia RS will aim to fill that gap. Its pricing will be key, especially as it enters a space shared by premium sedans.

2025 Skoda Octavia RS Expected Price Breakdown

The Octavia RS is expected to be offered in a single, fully-loaded variant.

Variant	Expected Price (Ex-Showroom)
RS 265	₹49.0 - ₹50.0 lakh

Volkswagen launched the Golf GTI in India at ₹53 lakh (ex-showroom), and the upcoming Skoda Octavia RS is confirmed to use the same 2.0L turbo engine with a 7-speed DCT auto transmission. While both belong to the VW Group’s performance portfolio, the Octavia RS is expected to carry a lower price tag.

We expect Skoda to position the RS under ₹50 lakh, helping it stay below the Golf GTI and under the ₹50 lakh threshold — a price point that may broaden its appeal among enthusiasts looking for a sedan with stronger performance.

I think a car, straight out of a factory, is incomplete on its own. It finds its purpose and completes itself when it chooses and finds its owner. There’s a car of my dreams and its purpose is to rev all day, literally, on the Le Mans racetrack. I look forward to the day we meet.
