Sold Out in Minutes, Skoda Octavia RS Gets Second Batch
Skoda India has confirmed a second batch of the Octavia RS for the Indian market after the first lot sold out within minutes of bookings opening. Launched in 2025 with an initial allocation of 100 units, the performance sedan received an overwhelming response, prompting Skoda to bring more cars for interested buyers.
The confirmation comes alongside the unveiling of the Kushaq facelift and Skoda’s announcement to introduce the Kodiaq RS in India, signalling a stronger push towards enthusiast-focused models.
