When it comes to RS models, everyone is most familiar with Audi, but Skoda also has RS models, and even has a longer history than Audi, starting in 1974. While both are sports representatives, Audi means "Racing Sport" and Skoda means "Rally Sport".
In addition to creating a sedan version based on the RS series, Skoda also created an RS model for the travel version. Although the previous generation of Skoda Octavia Travel Edition has been introduced in China, there is no news of the current generation, and overseas markets are still updating the model.
It is reported that the RS hatchback version is 39205 euros (about 280,800 yuan), while the RS station wagon starts at 39,888 euros (about 285,700 yuan), and the overall price is relatively high.
In terms of appearance, the new car basically continues the ordinary version of the shape, in view of the new car's more sporty, the whole car is replaced with a more sporty kit, such as all-black net and "RS" logo.
On the side of the body, the Travel Edition continues the RS Series Kit with a large sport wheel and red calipers, except that the Travel Edition has a more slender body design.
In terms of the rear, compared with the ordinary version of the model, a design similar to a wide-body kit has been added, with dual outlet vents.
In terms of interior, the new car also maintains the same design of the ordinary version of the model, and the suspension central control screen is equipped with a three-spoke steering wheel.
The most important thing is that the new car also has a unique "RS" logo that highlights the identity, showing multiple areas of the car.
As a sporty model, the interior of the new car is also replaced by relatively sporty seats, and the performance atmosphere is better.
Since it is a sport model, the power performance of the new car is naturally the key, so the new car is equipped with a 2.0 T+7DCT power system, the maximum power is 180 kilowatts, the maximum torque is 370 Nm, and the tuning is basically the same as the Yatsushiro Golf GTI.
In addition, the new car transmission has an electronic differential lock, and the new car can be equipped with an optional adaptive chassis control system and support for four-wheel drive.
Considering that some regions have a greater demand for the travel version, many car companies have also launched a travel sports version.
Ford Focus Travel Edition ST
Peugeot 508SW PSE
Subaru LEVORG STI Sport R
Seat Cupra Leon VZ Cup
To say that the RS series, the current domestic sales of the Octavia has been replaced by the RS version of the kit, the overall sporty style is still very strong, but unfortunately the new car is still equipped with a 1.4T turbo engine, so it is not a real RS series model.
Once upon a time, whether it was octavia's RS series or Octavia's travel version, it was also sold in China, but by the latest generation of models, Skoda had abandoned the introduction plan of such models, perhaps because Skoda's current status was no longer the same as before, and there was no sales support to talk about "spiritual construction"?
It is worth mentioning that overseas has also launched the Skoda Octavia RS 120 Years Special Edition, equipped with a 2.0T gasoline engine and a 1.4T plug-in hybrid, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch and a 6-speed manual transmission, and equipped with a four-wheel drive system.
