Scoda Octavia RS: the technical specifications and owner reviews

July 10 last year, the Czechs were presented brand new version of the Skoda Octavia III models. It is about them we hasten to tell you. Photos Skoda Octavia RS you can view later in the article. Let's start to review.

New Features

The New generation of the Skoda Octavia RS has been much more active than at any other time in the history of the brand "Skoda". It seems that the producers decided to expand the range of consumers, in order to compete with the major automakers of the world. Unfortunately, to achieve great heights it was only among their own models, remaining in this segment "feed back". Under the generic name of Skoda Octavia RS, the company chose to hide two cars at the same time: first in the station wagon, and the second is liftback. Will tell you about the updates later in the article in more detail.

Design

The size of the new RS-OK very little changed when compared with basic versions of the Skoda Octavia. However, the appearance is still significantly transformed. Of course, all the forces of the engineers were thrown on the maximization give the sporty appearance of the car. To be honest, it made it rather dull. Yes, the Czech designers have tried, however, in addition to modified bumpers, enlarged air intakes, a neat rear spoiler and a bold grille, more anything added was not. The appropriate design also meet the alloy wheels, which are equipped with "Skoda Octavia RS". The choice, by the way, are 18 - and 19-inch wheels. In General, the exterior of our heroine turned out quite attractive and presentable, which will surely appeal to a young audience. However, the maximum potential Czechs have been unable to implement. Perhaps all this is due to the excessive tradition of the company, because the optics remained too "civilian", and some body styles are conservative, but the rapids would not prevent a small customization that would have brought even more sportiness to the Skoda Octavia RS. Ultimately, of course, the new model will always find their buyers, because many drivers such forms will appeal.

Interior innovations

Of Course, modernization has touched not only the external appearance but also the interior. Inside the new Scoda Octavia RS is gone the old "civil" seats, replaced with more athletic models. The second change affected the steering wheel, which was replaced by a three-spoke with leather trim. Another innovation was banding steel pedals and sills, and also a little changed interior light. The fifth improvement, which have significantly transformed the model is the emergence of the Maxi DOT display on the instrument panel.

Here the new model can show itself in all beauty. Unlike standard models, it is equipped with only two engine versions: petrol and diesel. The first should be the main trump card RS-Ki. Carbobenzoxy 2-liter engine is much more powerful than its diesel counterpart, having 220 HP. The basic equipment of the car is aggregated 6-step "mechanics" that allows you to overclock our "beast" to 248 km/hour, having spent overcoming hundreds of turn of only 6.8 seconds. This represents an absolute record in the family of Octavia RS. Of course, this is quite a good result for the machine, and given the inexperience of Czech brands in this segment, the achievement so far is awesome. That's just competitive "classmates" show where the best results in dynamics that must be unfortunate for the company. For example, the same Volkswagen Golf GTI, which is the closest "relative" of "Skoda", overcomes the barrier of 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds, the Ford Focus ST forgets about the hundred, after 6.5 seconds, and the Mazda 3 MPS and does fit in 6.1 seconds. In General, the engineers still have to work hard on this technical component. But back to our review of the Skoda Octavia RS 2014.

If you don't like "mechanics", the Czechs offeras an alternative to the 6-station robotic gearbox DSG, which is also available with a petrol engine. The basic version of the Skoda Octavia RS price starts with a mark 1 million 294 thousand rubles for the liftback and 1 million 364 thousand rubles for top estate.

Emissions of CO₂ in the atmosphere stop at the level of 119 g/km. Petrol engine "eats" an average of 6.4 liters per 100 km and emissions of CO₂ in the atmosphere is equal to 142 g/km, efficiency in consumption, manufacturers have tried. Go on.

Handling

If more, in our RS-Kah is used independent design with racks of type McPherson front and independent multilink rear suspension. Of course, both the suspension has been upgraded and fine-tuned for high-speed driving. In view of all these transformations was reduced and clearance 12 mm for the liftback and by 13 mm at the wagon. In General, the suspension is great "swallows" bumps, coping with bad road surface on "cheers." Good responsiveness and is equipped with a steering wheel, because of its motion the car responds quickly and sharply, what allows you to feel comfortable in active traffic and on sharp turns.
