Octavia VRS (non-hybrid version)

 

Exactly four months after introducing the Octavia RS iV plug-in hybrid, Skoda is now unveiling the conventionally powered versions. Naturally, the gasoline and diesel derivatives look virtually the same as the electrified model, with the obvious removal of “iV” badging and the cap for the charging port on the front fender.

Essentially mirroring the Volkswagen Golf GTI and GTD, the Octavia RS in non-iV form can be had with a 2.0-liter TSI engine with 245 horsepower and 370 Newton-meters of torque. Available exclusively in front-wheel-drive form, the gasoline-fueled version can be had with a choice between a six-speed manual and an optional seven-speed DSG. In terms of performance, the 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) takes 6.7 seconds en route to a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).

If you’d rather get the diesel, the 2.0 TDI packs 200 hp (147 kW) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft), thus making it the most powerful TDI-fueled Octavia ever built. It comes as standard with a FWD layout, but customers can spend extra on an AWD setup that enables a sprint in 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 151 mph (243 km/h). Bear in mind you can’t get the diesel with three pedals as Skoda will sell the Octavia RS TDI exclusively with the DSG.

All flavors of the RS come with progressive steering and a sport suspension boasting a multi-link rear setup, with the gasoline and diesel models featuring a -15 millimeter (-0.6 inches) ride height. At an additional cost, an optional electronically adaptable suspension (Dynamic Chassis Control) will be available. In the case of the TSI variant, a limited-slip differential comes with a wet multi-plate clutch.

Sitting at the top of the food chain, the RS models come generously equipped with the digital instrument cluster and the larger version of the infotainment system. In addition, they also get a standard center airbag (a first for Skoda), specific 18- and 19-inch wheels, exclusive LED fog lights, and black exterior accents.

The more aggressive bumpers, dual exhaust tips, and the rear spoiler are also an RS-only affair, along with Alcantara surfaces and faux carbon fiber accents on the inside where the body-hugging seats that can be upgraded to include a massaging function. The driver’s display and the infotainment each come with RS-specific graphics to further separate the performance versions from their lesser siblings.

Will be nice to see the DCC included in the local units and get rid of the 19 inch for 18inch to reduce cost . 
 

hopefully retain the VFM tag

I find the lines and crease across the body  both modern and neat.

Current one design is rather dated and needs refreshing.

I don't mind the 19" coz the current 18" on the RS looks a little under-tyred.

I find DCC more of a novelty. My previous GTI had it n found Sport was too firm for daily use so left it in either Normal or Comfort (esp w more and more 3rd world, badly patched up roads nowadays...)

Mkvi had not evolved enough. If you look at the current arteon with the revise J7 controllers, the setting is step driven and not just comfort , sports and normal.

I rented the Mk7.5 GTI in oz and dun recall the DCC got step setting leh. Is that the standard DCC setting on current VAG cars now? Or is it becoz the ah tiong has 4 Motion AWD?

The Arteon has step settings with different J7 controllers.

The 7.5 was not introduced with it, unfortunately.
