Vehicle details
Introducing the facelift Skoda Octavia VRS, sublime comfort, easy to drive and a hybrid engine. Skoda have been turning out cutting edge technologies and inventions since the automotive industry's pioneering began. They have built their entire brand based on producing affordable cars which aim to be as easy to live with as possible. The brand continues to innovate through digitalisation and electrified vehicles while still priding itself on keeping things simple. This petrol/hybrid Octavia VRS is perfectly simplified, fun to drive and quite the practical family car. The VRS is for the purists, those who enjoy the moment of driving and love a pack-a-punch level of performance with the form of a family car. Let's start with performance. With 242bhp and 370Nm from its four-cylinder turbocharged motor, the Skoda has a relatively strong output given its 1, 489kg kerb weight. It's enough for a 0-62mph time of 6.7 seconds, which is just one tenth of a second quicker than the six speed manual version. Behind the big boot lid, boot space stands at 600 litres, rising to 1, 555 litres if you fold the rear seats down. Equipment specification is good, with matrix LED headlights, dual-zone climate control, adaptive cruise with AEB and lane assist, heated sports seats, all-round parking sensors, keyless operation, a 10.25-inch digital dash panel with a special VRS skin and a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto as well as Wireless Apple CarPlay. The VRS credentials as a solid all rounder are bolstered by claimed fuel economy of 40.7mpg which is relatively strong.
