Abu Dhabi : It carries a starting price tag of AED 142,000, including service and warranty.

The 2025 Škoda Octavia RS debuts in the UAE with a stronger turbo engine, sharper design, smarter tech, and sporty interior upgrades—all without losing its family-friendly practicality. Without much to say, let’s explore what makes the new Škoda Octavia RS one of the most exciting launches in its segment this year. 

Performance Gets Sharper

The 2025 Škoda Octavia RS sees a clear performance boost. It’s powered by a 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged engine that now puts out 265 hp and 370 Nm of torque. That’s a healthy bump over the previous version. Power is sent to the front wheels via a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission. Here’s how it performs:

Specification	Value
Engine	2.0L TSI Turbocharged
Power output	265 hp
Torque	370 Nm
0–100 km/h	6.6 seconds
Top speed	250 km/h
Transmission	7-speed DSG (FWD)

Bold New Look with RS Identity

The RS version stands out with distinct styling cues that scream performance. These include:

• Gloss-black 19-inch alloy wheels.
• RS-specific front and rear bumpers.
• Blacked-out badging and mirror caps.
• Matrix LED headlights for better night vision.

Though sporty, the Octavia RS keeps its signature liftback body, giving it the practicality of a hatch with the look of a sleek sedan.

Sporty and Smart Cabin

Inside, the new Octavia RS feels both tech-rich and focused. Key features include:

• RS sport seats with red stitching.
• Flat-bottom RS steering wheel.
• Carbon-look interior trim.
• 13-inch central touchscreen.
• 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.
• Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
• Canton premium audio (optional).
• Electric tailgate with virtual pedal.

The RS trim doesn’t just feel fast—it looks the part too.

Safety First, Even in a Sports Sedan

Škoda hasn’t compromised on safety. The Octavia RS includes a full suite of advanced driver-assist systems:

• Adaptive Cruise Control.
• Lane Keep Assist.
• Blind Spot Monitoring.
• Park Assist.

This makes it a strong pick for families and performance lovers alike.
