New image for Octavia RS

Skoda is showing off an aggressive new grille design for the high-powered versions of its Octavia, writes Brian Byrne.

The look includes additional headlamps, and the whole front end is an extension of the ‘crystalline’ look introduced on the current Superb.

Two RS Octavias come with two engines, a 184hp 2.0 diesel and a 230hp 2.0 turbo petrol.
