Skoda Octavia RS second batch launched at Rs 56.69 lakh
Skoda has quietly opened bookings for a second batch of the Octavia RS in India, priced at Rs 56.69 lakh ex-showroom. That is Rs 6.70 lakh more than the Rs 49.99 lakh the first batch carried, and if you missed that one, this is your next shot — though the window is even narrower this time.
Why the first batch sold out so fast
The original Octavia RS was capped at 100 units, and every single one was spoken for before the car officially went on sale in India. That kind of demand for a Rs 50 lakh sedan that does not come with an SUV body tells you something about how much pent-up appetite there is for a proper performance Volkswagen Group car in this market.
What you are getting in this batch
The mechanical package stays the same as before. The Octavia RS is powered by a 265hp 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, which puts it in genuinely quick territory for a family sedan. Key things to know before you decide:
- Price is Rs 56.69 lakh ex-showroom, up Rs 6.70 lakh from batch one
- Only 50 units are available in this batch, half of the first allocation
- Deliveries are set to begin next week
- The 265hp 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine carries over unchanged
- This is a limited-run model, not a regular production Octavia
Should you wait for a third batch
That is the real question. Skoda has not announced whether a third batch is on the cards, and given that they halved the allocation from 100 units to 50, it would be unwise to assume another opportunity will appear soon. If you have the budget and want a performance sedan rather than yet another SUV, waiting for a hypothetical third batch at an unknown price feels like a risky call.
How to secure a unit
With only 50 cars to go around and deliveries starting next week, time is the actual constraint here. Reach out to your nearest Skoda dealer immediately and confirm allocation status before assuming one is sitting there with your name on it. Given what happened with batch one, this second batch will almost certainly go just as quickly.
Are you putting your name down for one of the 50 units, or is the Rs 56.69 lakh ask too steep after the price hike?

TT Score
A fast, spacious and well-equipped performance sedan on paper, but its published on-road cost makes it a niche proposition for Indian buyers despite the 261.49bhp engine, 600-litre boot and claimed 15km/l economy.
Who it suits
- Performance-focused sedan buyer — The 261.49bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine, 370Nm torque and 7-speed DSG target buyers who prioritise performance over outright value.
- Long-distance traveller — The claimed 15km/l economy and 50-litre fuel tank give it a useful theoretical touring range without sacrificing the 600-litre boot.
- Family buyer needing luggage space — Five seats, four doors and a 600-litre boot make it substantially more practical for family travel than many performance-oriented cars.
Worth knowing
- · Published on-road figures range from ₹67.25 lakh in Mumbai and Pune to ₹71.07 lakh in Bangalore and Chennai, making the ownership entry point very high.
- · The data gives only a claimed 15km/l figure, so real-world fuel consumption is not established.
- · No owner-rating data is supplied, so ownership cannot be scored honestly from the checked information.
