In the latest review from carwow, the team takes a closer look at the new Scod Octavia VRS, a hot hatch that promises a blend of practicality and performance. With unique features like an umbrella in the door and a special back seat bin, this car aims to stand out in the crowded hot hatch market. Under the hood lies a 2L 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine churning out an impressive 265 horsepower, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox for swift acceleration.

The VRS version of the Scod Octavia sports upgrades like a more aggressive front bumper design, 19-inch alloy wheels, and sportier brakes, enhancing both its visual appeal and performance capabilities. Inside, drivers are greeted with VRS-specific elements such as a sport steering wheel, red dials, and sport seats, adding a touch of flair to the cabin. On the road, the Octavia VRS delivers a balanced driving experience, offering predictable handling and a responsive feel in the bends.

Despite its strengths, the Octavia VRS is not without its flaws, including minor annoyances like the placement of the drive mode button and optional rear side airbags. Pricing starts at £39,000, but carwow offers leasing options for those looking to experience this hot hatch without breaking the bank. Overall, the Scod Octavia VRS earns praise for its practicality and well-rounded performance, making it a strong contender in the hot hatch segment.
