General description
The 2017 Skoda Octavia RS 2.0 TSI 230 HP is a sedan that combines the practicality of a family car with the sporty spirit of a high-performance vehicle. With a powerful engine and a design that hints at its character without being ostentatious, it presents itself as a very interesting option for those looking for a versatile and exciting car at the same time. Its price of 29,772 euros positions it as an attractive alternative in the sports sedan segment.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Octavia RS offers a rewarding driving experience. Its 230 HP are felt with a linear and forceful power delivery, allowing accelerations from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h. The 6-speed manual gearbox allows total control over the engine, and the suspension, although firm, is not uncomfortable in everyday use. The steering is precise and inspires confidence, inviting you to enjoy every curve. It is a car that makes you feel connected to the road, without sacrificing the necessary comfort for long journeys.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2017 Skoda Octavia RS is a subtle but effective evolution of the standard sedan. It maintains the elegant and functional lines of the Octavia, but adds sporty touches that distinguish it. The specific bumpers, 18-inch wheels, glossy black details, and dual exhaust outlets give it a more aggressive and dynamic image. Inside, the sports seats, multifunction steering wheel, and red or carbon details reinforce that sporty atmosphere, without sacrificing the spaciousness and quality of finishes that characterize Skoda.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2017 Octavia RS incorporates a 2.0 TSI engine with mixed injection (direct/indirect) with turbo and intercooler, which optimizes efficiency and performance. It has a Stop&Start system to reduce consumption in the city and complies with Euro 6 regulations. In the chassis, the McPherson type front suspension and the deformable parallelogram rear suspension stand out, both with stabilizer, which ensure good dynamic behavior. The electric power steering offers agile and precise response. Although it is not a state-of-the-art car in terms of infotainment, it offers what is necessary for a modern and connected driving experience.
Competition
The Skoda Octavia RS competes in a segment with strong rivals such as the Volkswagen Golf GTI, the SEAT León Cupra, or even some versions of the Ford Focus ST. Compared to them, the Octavia RS stands out for its greater interior space and trunk capacity, offering superior practicality without sacrificing very similar performance. Its value for money is also usually a point in its favor, positioning itself as a more rational but equally exciting alternative.
Conclusion
The Skoda Octavia RS 2.0 TSI 230 HP is a sports sedan that more than meets expectations. It is a car that allows you to enjoy driving on every journey, with a powerful engine and a well-tuned chassis, but without sacrificing the versatility and space expected of an Octavia. Its design is attractive and its technology, although not cutting-edge, is effective. It is an ideal option for those looking for a car with a dual personality: practical for everyday use and exciting for leisure moments.
