Skoda has launched the latest version of its Octavia RS in India. Its starting price is ₹49.99 lakh (approximately ₹14 lakh US dollars). Only 100 units of the Skoda Octavia RS will be available in the country. Booking of this sedan started from 6th October. The new model costs ₹14 lakh (approximately ₹14 lakh US) more than the Octavia RS 245. In terms of design, the Octavia RS looks similar to the BMW M340i and Audi S5 Sportback. However, these German cars are much more expensive and more powerful than Skoda. Skoda’s new car, the RS, can rival the Volkswagen Golf GTI, which is priced at ₹50.91 lakh (around ₹10 lakh US). The Octavia RS accelerates to 100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds and is powered by Volkswagen’s famous ‘EA888’ 2.0 liter turbo petrol engine, which produces 265 horsepower and 370 Nm of torque.
