Skoda Octavia RS Bookings Open in India – 100 Unit Limited Run

Skoda has brought back excitement to Indian performance sedan fans just in time for the festive season. The new Octavia RS is now open for bookings online with a ₹2.5 lakh token, but there’s a catch — only 100 units are coming to India.

Deliveries are scheduled from 6 to 16 November 2025, following the official India launch on 17 October 2025.
