BHPian Aditya recently shared this with other enthusiasts:Skoda Octavia RS Exterior ReviewThe exterior of the Octavia RS is largely similar to the regular Octavia. The car comes with full LED Matrix headlights, LED tail-lamps with dynamic turn-indicators, sports bumpers, black lettering and styling elements, and 19-inch alloy wheels with 225/40 section tyres. Front end features a redesigned quad headlamp setup, black radiator grille, and a reworked bumper: Full LED Matrix headlamps come with LED DRLs that double up as turn-indicators. AFS (adaptive front light system) has been provided: Radiator grille is finished in black. It gets glossy black inserts and a thick glossy black border. RS badging is placed on the left. While this display car does not have one, customer cars will come with a camera located on the black plastic piece in the middle: Dual-tone sports bumper gets a wide black air dam with a honeycomb mesh grille and two glossy black vertical slats. Below is a glossy black skid plate, and on both sides are glossy black inserts: Bumpers get air curtains at both ends: Full underbody protection has been provided – a good thing considering the ground clearance is just 128 mm: ADAS camera is located at the top of the windshield, behind the IRVM: The Octavia RS measures 4,709 mm in length, 1,829 mm in width, and 1,457 mm in height with a wheelbase of 2,677 mm. The car is seen here in the Mamba Green shade: ORVMs are finished in black and come with integrated LED turn-indicators and puddle lamps underneath. Customer cars will also get cameras underneath the ORVMs: 19-inch Elias anthracite alloy wheels with aero trims have a love-it-hate-it design. The display car had low-profile 225/40 Goodyear sports tyres, while the cars we drove on the track had Bridgestone and Pirelli rubber: Both front and rear brakes have red calipers: B-pillars and glass area borders are finished in glossy black: Sticker near fuel filler indicates E10 compliance. Fuel tank capacity = 50 litres: Ice scraper is located on the inner side of the fuel flap: Just like the regular Octavia, no sunroof has been provided: Sharkfin antenna is finished in glossy black: Rear features black make and model lettering. RS badge is located on the right: LED tail-lamps have a segmented design: On top of the boot lid is a slim glossy black spoiler. It is slightly higher at the sides than in the middle: Rear bumper gets glossy black inserts and a slim reflector at the bottom. Dual exhausts with glossy black tips have been provided: Both sides of the bumper get vertically oriented glossy black inserts: The Octavia RS comes with a sports exhaust system. While the glossy black exhaust tips are meaty, the actual pipes are puny: Apart from the Mamba Green colour of the displayed car, the Octavia RS is available in 4 shades. Here it is in Velvet Red… …Race Blue… …and Magic Black. The fifth colour is Candy White: Read BHPian comments for more insights and information.
