Skoda Confirms November India Launch for Octavia RS as Limited CBU

Pricing is expected near Rs 45–51 lakh because the car will arrive as a limited CBU import.

Overview

  • The fourth‑gen RS uses the EA888 2.0‑litre turbo‑petrol (about 265 hp, 370 Nm) paired with a 7‑speed DSG and front‑wheel drive.
  • Skoda cites a 0–100 km/h time of 6.4 seconds with an electronically limited 250 km/h top speed.
  • Industry reports indicate a small initial allocation, likely around 200 units, mirroring earlier RS limited runs.
  • Estimated pricing positions the RS against the Volkswagen Golf GTI in India, which is currently around Rs 50.9 lakh.
  • Global‑spec tech includes a 13‑inch touchscreen with ChatGPT assistant, a 10‑inch driver display, 10 airbags and a full ADAS suite, though ADAS availability for India remains unconfirmed.
