The 2020 Skoda Octavia RS 245 has started reaching the dealership stockyard. The performance sedan was first showcased in India at the Auto Expo 2020, where Skoda launched the Octavia RS 245 for Rs. 36 lakh (ex-showroom, India). Bookings for the car had opened online on March 1, however, the company had to postpone the deliveries due to the coronavirus lockdown. Having said that, the fact that the car has started reaching dealers indicates that the company hopes to begin deliveries as soon as the lockdown ends, which is currently slated to happen on April 14, 2020.
