Introducing the all-new Skoda Octavia vRS!
So, what will you find in the vRS that you don’t get with the normal Octavia? Well under the bonnet, you’ll have a choice of petrol, diesel or hybrid engines. We’ve got the petrol here, which is a 2-litre turbo petrol that can produce 245hp & 370Nm.
As for design upgrades, you’ll find redesigned & sportier bumpers at the front and back, as well as an updated grille. Whilst inside, you’ll find a number of upgrades, from sports seats through to alcantara on the dash. And of course, don’t forget masses of red stitching throughout! After all, red means sporty, of course.
So, it all sounds pretty good, right? But is it enough to tempt you away from the all-new VW Golf GTI? It may be slightly cheaper than the GTI, but is that enough? You’ll have to stick with Mat for his latest in-depth review to find out!

We're quite liking the new Octavia vRS, but what do you think – would you choose it over the VW Golf GTI or Ford Focus ST? VOTE with a LIKE in the comments we've posted below!
VW will never let Skoda evolve beyond the performance of the owner brand.
Those are some damn ugly wheels.
Cann't remember if it was Tiff or Clarkson that described Hot Hatches as having a wheel at each corner. Once anything is over hanging, hatch or not, it stops being a Hatchback I'm afraid.
Never really liked Skoda but this is art. Looks better than Audis or BMWs at this price!
That black grill is ugly and cheap looking.
5:17 because you are sitting on a wrong side 😛
try tro pronounce it as shkoda
Why is there not a vrs SUV or something. I don't want to look like a taxi driver.
Why can't we get skoda here in the us. I like there cars for the most part. And I would like more small diesel hatches and sedans from Europe in the us. And more manual options on cars. It would be cool to get them.
Yes finally matt u made it ,was waiting for this a long time
Why there is no RWD, 200hp+ car with manual shifting and 4 seats? :´((((
Cars sound soooooo lame these days
Yeah, boot and rear seats are massive because the car is massive. Hardly something one wants from a hot hatch though.
It looks like a BMW and an Audi at the same time.
This car looks beautiful for a Skoda, the front especially
Way to little power for a top of the range model, really should be nudging 300bhp at least in this day and age.
Defo looks way better than the Mk8 GTI
Maybe I will be able afford it in 2030 🙂
Used to like his reviews, now they’re just plain boring. He’s like bitching about everything.
You're slagging this but shooting your load about the Audi A3?!
It's not the driving mode button that is on the wrong side, It's the steeringwheel
i would get the hybrid cuz awd
I just can't imagine anyone being excited about this car
The side profile of the Skoda looks like a kia stinger
