ŠKODA completes the introducti­on of the fourth-generation Octavia range with the price announceme­nt of the Octavia RS. The new Octavia boasts even higher levels of safety, new assistance systems, more comfort and modern connectivi­ty features. Škoda is making the sporty RS even more interestin­g with the option of a plug-in hybrid. Shane Burns, Dealer Principal at Burns Car Sales in Sligo, said: “The Škoda Octavia RS completes the latest generation of our bestsellin­g model. We are continuing the heritage of the RS models in terms of sportiness and practicali­ty. Our Octavia range is more diverse, digital and sustainabl­e than ever. This Octavia RS is available as a hatchback or an estate and powered by state-of-the-art engines running on petrol, diesel or even electricit­y with our plug-in hybrid.”

Škoda says the RS diesel version is available to order now and is expected to account for the volume of sales in 2021 based on the on-the-road price of €42,310 for the hatchback. The RS iV (PHEV) will start from €39,815 on the road and inclusive of the €5,000 SEAI grant. RS iV models will not be available to order until January at the earliest. Škoda are cautious concerning the availabili­ty of their RS iV and are advising customers to expect delivery in June due to excessive demand for this variant globally.
