Just a few weeks ago Skoda launched the latest version of the Octavia and hard on its heels comes the higherperformance, sporty Octavia vRS.
It comes as a hatchback and estate and features exclusive redevelopment of the design which gives it a stand-out look in the high performance sector.
The new front section has a wider grille, plus additional headlamps and even wider air intakes with a honeycomb structure. It also comes with four full-LED headlights as well as LED side-mounted headlights integrated into the rear bumper.
The back end is dominated by a black diffuser and broad red reflector lamp above.
The vRS now features LEDtechnology license plate illumination and taillights in the Skoda’s C-design as standard.
Inside, the vRS comes with sports seats with a leather/fabric combination and Alcantara as an option.
Skoda’s “Simply-Clever” solutions include an umbrella under the passenger seat and a removable LED lamp in the boot of the estate.
The new Octavia vRS has 15mm lower sports suspension and the rear track is 30mm wider than the predecessor and comes with red brake callipers and it comes with 18-inch wheels as standard, while 19-inch wheels are available as an option.
The new petrol engine of the vRS, the 2.0 TSI, provides 230bhp and the front-wheel drive sports model sprints from 0 to 62mph in just 6.7 seconds
