New Škoda Octavia Edition 30 and vRS Plus: two ways to celebrate 30 years
The Škoda Octavia is marking its 30th anniversary with two new special editions. The Octavia Edition 30 brings extra equipment to the everyday drive, while the Octavia vRS Plus combines 265PS performance with distinctive colours and an upgraded sound system.
Whether you are looking for an automatic family car, an Octavia Estate or a performance-focused vRS, here is what you need to know before speaking to the team at Pulman Škoda.
What is the Škoda Octavia Edition 30?
The new Octavia Edition 30 sits between the SE Technology and SE L trims. Available in hatchback and estate body styles, it adds a useful mix of comfort, driver assistance and anniversary details.
Standard equipment includes:
- 17-inch Aries silver alloy wheels
- Lodge Design Selection interior
- Edition 30 badging
- Privacy glass
- Rear-view camera
- Adaptive cruise control
The rear-view camera helps when manoeuvring into parking spaces, while adaptive cruise control can support a more relaxed motorway journey. Choose the hatchback or estate to suit your routine, from the commute to weekends away.
Octavia Edition 30 engines: petrol or diesel, all with DSG
If you are searching for a Škoda Octavia automatic, each Edition 30 engine option comes with a DSG transmission:
- 1.5 TSI eTEC 116PS DSG
- 1.5 TSI eTEC 150PS DSG
- 2.0 TDI 150PS DSG
Our team can help you compare the petrol and diesel options against your mileage and driving needs. You can also explore the Škoda Octavia on our model page.
What does the Škoda Octavia vRS Plus add?
The new Octavia vRS Plus builds on the 265PS 2.0 TSI petrol model, paired with a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission. Its additional specification includes a CANTON sound system and an exclusive paint finish, giving the performance model an extra dose of personality.
Standard equipment on the Octavia vRS Plus includes:
- CANTON sound system
- Full LED Matrix headlights
- vRS Design Selection interior
- Heated sports front seats
- Three-spoke leather multifunction sports steering wheel with DSG paddles
For drivers considering a new Škoda Octavia vRS, the Plus edition adds an upgraded audio experience and a choice of striking paint colours alongside its sports-focused cabin.
Octavia vRS Plus colours: Tangerine Orange and Cosmic Green
Two new colours are reserved for the vRS Plus: Tangerine Orange and Cosmic Green. Buyers can also choose Royal Green or Dragon Skin, which are already available as eye-catching vRS colours.
Edition 30 or vRS Plus: which Octavia suits you?
Consider the Edition 30 if you want hatchback or estate practicality, a choice of petrol and diesel engines, and useful everyday features such as a rear-view camera and adaptive cruise control.
Consider the vRS Plus if your priorities include the 265PS petrol engine, heated sports seats, premium audio and a more distinctive colour choice. Our Pulman Škoda team can talk you through the differences and help you find the right specification.
