The new fourth generation Skoda Octavia RS has officially been launched here in Singapore.
As the range-topping model in the Octavia lineup, the Octavia RS has always blended performance and desirability with ample practicality and functionality. The new model continues to carry the torch, boasting a powerful design that includes full LED lights, RS-specific front and rear aprons, as well as blacked out front grille, wing mirrors, rear diffuser and the Skoda lettering on the tailgate.
DCC now comes equipped on the Octavia RS, giving you greater customisation of the car's dynamic characteristics The interior receives the same technological upgrades also witnessed in the Octavia, such as the 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit and the newly designed centre console with the new DSG gear selector.
Of note, this RS model additionally gets a 10-inch Columbus infotainment system that has built-in navigation, redesigned three-spoke steering wheel, front sport seats (with massage function) upholstered in Alcantara, as well as a sporty combination of Alcantara, leather and carbon-effect trim across the cabin.
Powering the Octavia RS is latest evolution of the VW Group's EA888 2.0-litre turbocharged engine (dubbed the Evo4). Power figures remain the same at 241bhp and 370Nm of torque, but the engine has been tuned to be more efficient than before.
Practicality still reigns supreme, thanks to a large 600-litre boot This new model also now comes standard with Dynamic Chassis Control, which allows added customisation of the car's driving characteristics. For the first time, it is also possible to adjust the operation of the seven-speed DSG, enhancing the car's overall dynamic behaviour.
Of course, stand out safety and assistance features are a must for any Skoda model. The Octavia RS comes equipped with the same comprehensive suite of safety systems first witnessed on the fourth generation Octavia, including Exit Warning, Side Assist, Front Assist with integrated City Emergency Brake, Lane Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control.
