2018 Skoda Octavia vRS 245 UK Pricing and Details Announced

As you all know, Skoda operated some mid-life updates to the Octavia range, and the vRS 230 has been replaced. Because they got rid of the old 6-speed DSG, which was a performance chokehold, the output has been allowed to rise to 245 PS and 370 Nm of torque.

Of course, there are always going to be alternatives. You might consider a 3 Series Touring because it's got rear-wheel drive. But the vRS 245 has better brakes and a limited slip differential that makes it feel better screwed down in the corners.

Another alternative to the hot Octavia would be the Focus ST. There's a promotion going on right now, so you could have the estate version for £25,015 instead. But again, you're going to be missing out on some valuable kit.

Standard equipment for the 245 PS model includes satellite navigation with an eight-inch display and integrated Wi-Fi, full LED headlights with adaptive front light system and LED daytime running lights, LED interior light pack, 19-inch ‘Xtreme’ gloss black alloy wheels, a lap timer and heated and electrically adjustable vRS sports seats trimmed in Alcantara.

Pretty much the only thing you need to worry about is what color you want, the gearbox and body style, the cheapest model being, of course, a sedan with the manual.

Here is the full price list:

• Octavia vRS 245 Hatchback manual £27,595.00
• Octavia vRS 245 Hatchback DSG £28,985.00
• Octavia vRS 245 Estate manual £28,795.00
• Octavia vRS 245 Estate DSG £30,185.00

Below, you guys are going to find an official promo and the latest acceleration test. As we've mentioned already, the car offers 15 PS and 20 Nm more than its predecessor. That allows it to do the 0 to 62mph sprint in 6.6 seconds and affords a 155 mph limited top speed.
