Prices announced for performance Skoda Octavia vRS

Published 10 July 2013

Skoda has announced the prices for the all-new Octavia vRS, which is sold with a choice of either 184PS diesel or 220PS petrol engine. The entry price for the saloon is £22,990 while the estate version is priced from £23,790. Prices rise to £25,450 for the 184PS diesel estate with DSG automatic transmission.

The Octavia vRS is the fastest Skoda model ever, capable of a top-speed of 154mph and with a -62mph sprint time of 6.8 seconds in petrol hatchback form. Standard equipment across the board includes 18-inch alloy wheels, multifunction steering wheel, parking sensors, bi-xenon headlights, LED running lights, Bluetooth, DAB, dual-zone air conditioning and touch screen infotainment.

All models feature a lower ride height (12mm for the hatch and 13mm for the estate) along with an electronic diff-lock to improve handling over the standard Octavia. The most efficient model – the 184PS 2.0-litre diesel manual – has emissions of 119g/km which means running costs are relatively low, especially for a high-performance vehicle.

The new Octavia vRS makes its debut at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Full pricing details are below.
