Skoda Might Launch Octavia vRS in India

Keeping the taste of Indian car enthusiasts in its mind, the Czech automobile manufacturer Skoda seems to be cooking something really interesting this time. However, nothing has been officially lightened up by the company yet, but it is rumored that the automaker is considering the vRS variant of the Octavia for the Indian car segment.

As of now, it is unfair to pass any comment about its specification, but, if the car will carry out the same features much like the international unit then we can expect these attachments like both petrol and diesel trims, alluring design and contemporary technical attributes here in the country.
