The high-performance sedan is priced at Rs 50 lakh (ex-showroom), which makes it over 91,000 less expensive than the Golf GTI (50.91 lakh).

Here's all you need to know about the performance-oriented Octavia RS, which serves as an alternative to a range of luxury cars, including the Volkswagen Golf GTI, BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, Audi A4, BMW Mini Countryman JCW, and Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine. 

Skoda Octavia RS: Design

The RS gets an aggressive makeover, which helps it to stand apart from the regular Octavia. The bumpers look sharp and aggressive, while the 19-inch alloy wheels are aerodynamically designed. Skoda has made generous use of blacked-out elements – from the grille to the mirror caps – to enhance its sportier appearance. Other design features include twin-pod Matrix LED headlights, a butterfly grille, inverted V-shaped LED DRLs, a boot lip spoiler, dual exhaust tips, and wraparound LED taillights
