Skoda Octavia VRS Specifications

The Octavia vRS was updated with new headlights in 2017

The boot spoiler gives it an even sportier look

The 590-litre boot is a usable, square shape and the hatchback eases loading bulky suitcases

The vRS gets a flat-bottomed steering wheel for a more sporty feel

The vRS drive mode selector changes the throttle sensitivity and steering weight

This is the upgraded Amundsen system with a 9.2-inch screen – but no physical volume knob

The headrests are part of the seat – it looks cool but restricts the view out from the back seats

You can choose between red and silver details on the seats

There is plenty of space in the back despite the bulky front seats

The 590-litre boot is a usable, square shape and the hatchback eases loading bulky suitcases

The optional velcro-lined boot dividers are a great way of keeping the shopping in place when using all 230hp of the Octavia vRS

The Octavia vRS is very quick on a country road, but not as exciting to drive as a Golf GTI

The Octavia vRS 245 gets a limited-slip differential that helps you accelerate out of corners

The Octavia's boxy body gives decent room for anyone in the back
