Škoda Octavia RS makes a legendary comeback — pre-bookings open October 6
Mumbai — Fasten your seatbelts, India. The car that made office commutes feel like track days is back. Škoda Auto India has officially announced the return of the Octavia RS, the cult performance sedan that once had enthusiasts importing spoilers faster than pizza deliveries. Pre-bookings for the all-new RS will open on October 6, 2025, exclusively on Škoda’s official website. And yes, it’s arriving as a Fully-Built Unit (FBU) in limited numbers — because legends don’t come in bulk.
🔥 A Legend Reignited
With its comeback, the Octavia RS is set to once again become the dream garage upgrade for petrolheads. Think sharper design, track-ready dynamics, and that unmistakable RS growl that makes neighbours jealous. This isn’t just another sedan; it’s a rolling piece of motorsport heritage — the kind that leaves German autobahns and Indian expressways equally breathless.
Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, couldn’t hide his enthusiasm:
“Earlier this year, we promised that a global icon would return to India. Today, I’m proud to announce that we’ve delivered on that promise with the Octavia RS. This badge carries an unmatched legacy, one that has sparked passion among enthusiasts across the globe for over two decades. With the all-new Octavia RS launch in India, we’re not just bringing back a car. We’re bringing back an emotion.”
🏆 The Badge That Started It All
“RS” stands for Rally Sport, but for Indian fans, it might as well stand for “Rare Sightings”—because every time an Octavia RS showed up at a traffic light, heads turned and pulses spiked. The first RS landed in 2004, becoming India’s original turbocharged heart-throb. Since then, every generation has cultivated a near-cult status, blending European finesse with everyday practicality. It’s the car that could take you to office in the morning, destroy a racetrack in the afternoon, and still pick up groceries on the way home.

If you’ve ever whispered “vRS” like a prayer, now’s your moment. Pre-bookings open October 6, and given the limited numbers, expect them to vanish faster than a set of tyres at a track day.
