A few days back, Skoda has showed its diesel engine-powered model the Skoda Superb at the Bharat Mobility Auto Expo 2025. The company got too many requests from Skoda Car lovers to bring diesel engine models to India and Skoda is all set to fulfil their request by launching its most powerful diesel engine-powered car, the Skoda Octavia RS 2025. This is a Sedan car with lots of surprising updates inside and out. Let us know in detail -
Skoda Octavia Diesel Car in India
Skoda is bringing back the Octavia RS to the country. The car will be imported as a completely built unit (CBU) and will only be made when customers place orders. This means you’ll be able to customize the car to your liking. But that’s not all!
Industry sources say that Skoda is also thinking about bringing a diesel version of the Octavia to India. This new Octavia will be powered by a 2.0-litre diesel engine. The big twist is that Skoda might import the diesel Octavia as a Completely Knocked Down (CKD) unit, which could help keep its price more competitive.
