The Škoda Octavia RS Combi with 265 hp blends the practicality of a family estate with true performance credentials. Since the RS badge first appeared on the Octavia in 2000, it has stood for sportiness, and the latest Combi version continues that legacy with more power, dynamic handling, and an upgraded interior.
More Power, More Control
Under the bonnet is an upgraded 2.0 TSI engine producing 195 kW (265 hp) and 370 Nm of torque—15 kW more than its predecessor. This power is delivered through a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission and supports brisk acceleration with refined control.
The RS Combi’s sport suspension is lowered by 15 mm, sharpening its road manners without compromising ride comfort. It also comes standard with progressive steering and an electronically controlled VAQ limited-slip differential for superb cornering grip and agility—whether on winding backroads or motorway straights.
Distinct RS Styling and Details
As a true RS model, the Combi features signature black exterior trim, including the Škoda grille surround, window frames, and roof rails. The front apron has been redesigned with a sportier edge and painted to match the side skirts, while the rear includes a gloss black diffuser and full-width red reflector strip.
The RS Combi rides on 18-inch black Comet alloy wheels, with optional 19-inch brushed Elias wheels in silver or anthracite. For the first time, LED Matrix beam headlights come standard on all RS variants, accompanied by animated rear turn indicators and the Coming/Leaving Home light function.
Sporty and Functional Interior
Inside, the Octavia RS Combi boasts a predominantly black cabin, highlighted by red contrast stitching and exclusive materials. The 13-inch central display and navigation system come standard, as does an automatically retractable load cover for the Combi’s cargo area.
Two RS-specific Design Selections are available. The standard RS Fabric Design Selection includes quilted sports seats with integrated headrests and red stitching. The dashboard and door trim panels are finished in neoprene and artificial leather, with gloss black and carbon-look accents.
For added luxury, the optional RS Suite Design Selection upgrades the cabin with Suedia microfibre and artificial leather upholstery, electrically adjustable front seats with memory, lumbar support, massage function, and more red contrast stitching throughout the interior.
Daily Usability Meets RS Performance
Despite its performance edge, the Octavia RS Combi remains a practical and spacious estate. With its ample boot capacity and versatile load space, it serves both as a family car and a weekend driving machine—perfectly embodying Škoda’s “Simply Clever” philosophy in RS form.
