Skoda teases new video of the Octavia RS iV

Skoda has released a new video revealing the first details of the all new Skoda Octavia RS iV.

A black Skoda grille, dynamic front apron with black air curtains, a rear apron featuring aero flaps and a matching rear diffuser in sporty black instantly identify the all new Octavia RS iV as a member of the RS family. The black alloy wheel design reveals brake calipers finished in red. The hatch's tailgate comes with a black RS rear spoiler, while the estate features a roof spoiler in body colour. Contrasting stitching on the sports seats with integrated headrests and on the leather-covered three-spoke multifunction sports steering wheel feature in the interior.

For the first time in a vRS model, dynamic performance is ensured by a plug-in hybrid powertrain. A 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine and an 112bhp electric motor combine to deliver a system output of 242bhp and a maximum torque of 400Nm. The Octavia RS iV can cover up to 55km (based on the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) in all electric mode. A sports suspension with signature RS fine-tuning ensures dynamic handling.
