Overview

• Skoda has officially scheduled the performance sedan’s India launch for early November, marking the model’s re-entry after its 2023 discontinuation.
• The car will arrive as a completely built unit rather than a CKD assembly, a move that typically attracts higher duties and raises pricing.
• The RS is fitted with a 2.0‑litre TSI making about 261–265 bhp and 370 Nm paired to a 7‑speed DSG, delivering 0–100 km/h in roughly 6.6 seconds and a top speed near 250 km/h.
• Sport-focused details include gloss black exterior accents, larger alloy wheels, sport seats with red stitching, aluminium pedals and RS badging, with reporting also citing an electronic limited‑slip differential and a lowered sports chassis.
• Industry estimates peg the ex‑showroom price at around Rs 50 lakh and point to a single fully loaded variant, but Skoda has not announced final pricing or trim details.
