The third generation of the Octavia RS was introduced in 2013 and the Czech carmaker considered a refresh for it in 2016, along with the rest of the range.

While the first generation of the Octavia RS was a surprise for everyone, its successors were not, but that didn't make them less appreciated. Its fans were always eager to see the new version, and it was considered a hot-family-hatchback.

The Golf was a traditional hatchback due to its almost vertical tailgate. On the other hand, Skoda built the Octavia with a sloped, fastback-style liftgate to make it more practical for family use. In the RS trim, the medium-sized Czech vehicle featured a more aggressive front fascia with a black grille at the front. Its headlights stirred many talks since they resembled those installed on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class from the same era. But the angular style was typical for the Czech brand, a nation well-represented in the cubist-style design. Its 17" light-alloy wheels were fitted as standard and sported a unique design for the RS version. The carmaker installed a small wing on the tailgate and a pair of chromed exhausts under the bumper in the back.

Inside, the RS featured specific high-bolstered seats with integrated headrests and upholstered in a leather/fabric combination as standard or with Alcantara as an option. The polished-aluminum pedals were more visible thanks to the standard interior ambient lighting.

Under the hood, the Octavia RS was available with a choice of diesel and gasoline engines. While the sportiest one was the 230 hp gasoline version (10 hp more than the non-facelifted version), the 184 TDI was the most fuel-efficient.
