Škoda UK has introduced its most powerful Octavia vRS to date, designed to enhance police fleet performance with a 261 hp output from its upgraded 2L TSI engine. The latest Octavia vRS, available in both hatch and estate body styles, delivers 272 lb-ft of torque through a seven-speed DSG gearbox and VAQ electrohydraulic differential, allowing a 0-62 mph sprint in 6.4 seconds.

With a 15mm lower ride height than standard models, the new Octavia vRS offers improved handling, further supported by the option of Dynamic Chassis Control. Second-generation LED Matrix headlights enhance visibility, while a 13-inch infotainment display and 10.25-inch virtual cockpit provide quick access to essential driving data.

Built for versatility, the Octavia vRS Estate boasts a 640-liter trunk. Safety remains a priority, featuring Automated Emergency Braking, Predictive Pedestrian Protection, Blind Spot Detection and Turn Assist, which helps prevent head-on collisions. Additionally, Drowsiness Assist monitors driver fatigue through steering inputs and lane interventions.

Police forces can customize the Octavia vRS through Škoda’s turnkey conversion service, ensuring each vehicle meets operational requirements. The new Octavia vRS is now available for order.
