Description
There are family hatchbacks. And then there’s the Octavia vRS. On paper, it’s sensible: five doors, big boot, decent economy. But twist the key and suddenly you’re in on one of the car world’s best-kept secrets — a proper driver’s car hiding in plain sight.
The 2.0 TDI diesel engine isn’t just about economy; it’s about torque. Loads of it. Enough to catapult you past dawdlers on the motorway and still sip fuel like it’s rationed. The vRS badge means sharper suspension, sporty styling, and the sort of grin-inducing drive you’d expect from something far pricier.
Inside, it’s Skoda at its clever best: tough, practical, and comfortable — with a dose of Limited Edition exclusivity. It’s the car you can happily take to the supermarket, then have a proper laugh with on the way home.
