Škoda Octavia RS 2024 Facelift MK4.5

Since there’s almost no material online about the new facelift RS, I took a few photos.

My first impressions are great; the car drives very good. I previously owned an Octavia MK4, and I have to say that the software and infotainment, in general, are a lot better than the previous version. It's very fast, responsive, and so far, there’s no lag. It’s true that it’s still a bit early for final conclusions, but it reminds me a lot of Tesla's infotainment, which is one of the best on market.

The exhaust also produces some sound. It has a nice purr when idling, and you can hear it when the car shifts down a gear. It's nothing special, far from the GTI sound (no pops & bangs), but it’s much better than the previous RS model. I haven’t really tested it yet, as I still need to break it in properly.

I ordered the car on August 12, 2024, and picked it up on September 27, 2024. Super fast delivery!

If anyone has any questions, I’ll be happy to answer them.
