The automaker has designed this vehicle to ensure an imposing appearance on the roads and offer better space and comfort with some sports-oriented styling.
The Octavia RS features sports seats with red stitching, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and carbon-look trim accents inside the cabin. There is also a 13-inch central touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless smartphone connectivity, and an electric tailgate with a virtual pedal.
A Canton premium sound system in the top-spec variants also offers an even more thrilling and enjoyable ride experience. On the safety front, Skoda has equipped this performance sedan with adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, and park assist features.
The Skoda Octavia RS is priced from AED 142,000 in the UAE and is available with an exclusive warranty package that includes a 3-year or 45,000 km service plan and a 5-year or 150,000 km manufacturer’s warranty.
