Skoda Auto India has brought the Octavia RS back to the Indian market with its second limited batch. The performance-focused sedan has been priced at ₹56.69 lakh (ex-showroom), making it ₹6.70 lakh more expensive than the first batch, which was introduced at ₹49.99 lakh.
This time, Skoda has allocated only 50 units of the Octavia RS for India. The first batch consisted of 100 units and received an extremely strong response, with all cars sold before deliveries began. Deliveries of the latest batch are scheduled to start from next week.
The Octavia RS continues to be offered as a highly exclusive performance sedan in India. With just 50 units allocated for the second batch, availability will be significantly limited.

The Skoda Octavia RS is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder TSI turbo-petrol engine. The motor produces 265 PS of maximum power and 370 Nm of peak torque.
Power is delivered to the front wheels through a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox. Skoda claims that the performance sedan can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds, while its electronically limited top speed stands at 250 km/h.
The car also gets progressive steering, sports suspension, a performance-oriented chassis setup and a sports exhaust system, enhancing its driving-focused character.
The Octavia RS gets several visual upgrades that distinguish it from the standard Octavia. The sedan features RS-specific bumpers, black exterior elements, RS badging and 19-inch alloy wheels.
At the front, the car comes equipped with Matrix LED headlights, while the rear gets LED tail-lights with dynamic indicators. A sporty rear treatment and visible exhaust outlets further enhance its aggressive appearance.
For the second batch, Skoda is offering the Octavia RS in Mamba Green, Velvet Red and Magic Black exterior shades.
Inside, the Octavia RS combines a sporty cabin layout with premium equipment. The interior features RS sports seats, red contrasting details and an RS-specific three-spoke steering wheel.
The front seats are electrically adjustable and offer features such as heating, memory function and massage function. The cabin also gets ambient lighting and a digital driver display.
Key technology features include a 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless smartphone connectivity and an 11-speaker Canton audio system.
Safety equipment is another major highlight of the Octavia RS. The performance sedan gets a comprehensive package of passive and active safety technologies.
These features make the Octavia RS more than just a performance-focused sedan, adding a strong emphasis on everyday usability and safety.

Despite its performance-oriented character, the Octavia RS retains the practicality of the standard model's liftback body style. It offers 600 litres of boot space, which can be increased to 1,555 litres with the rear seats folded.
This combination of performance, practicality and premium equipment makes the Octavia RS a distinctive option for enthusiasts looking for a fast yet usable everyday car.

The biggest talking point with the new batch is its revised pricing. At ₹56.69 lakh, the second-batch Octavia RS costs ₹6.70 lakh more than the first batch's ₹49.99 lakh price. This represents an increase of around 13.4%.
Despite the higher price, the limited allocation and strong demand for the previous batch could make the new Octavia RS attractive to performance-car enthusiasts who missed out previously.
