Skoda Octavia vRS Unlikely to be Launched in India

The Skoda Octavia vRS was debuted at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show and now, after two years, considering the lower demand in the Indian automotive sector, Skoda is unlikely to launch the latest generation Octavia vRS in the country. The manufacturer had introduced its vRS two generation versions and both of these models were set up in India with reduced power as per seeing the customer's interest in more fuel efficient vehicles. However, for this upcoming runabout, the Czech company is not thinking that releasing the new vRS in the country, will be a good decision.

The reason behind this opinion is the higher price of this vehicle, which might be around INR 30 Lacs as well as one more noteworthy point is poor demand from the people. Beneath the skin, it seems to be powered by a 2.0 litre TFSI petrol engine to churn out an amazing power of 217 bhp. If the car will be launched in India, then the car maker is anticipated to acquaint the same powertrain producing 217 hp of power as the international model. Notably, the Skoda Octavia vRS can be accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.8 seconds ahead of achieving a top speed of 246 km/h.
