Nissan just launched the Tekton, which offers best-in-class performance, rugged looks and a good amount of features. Priced between Rs 12.49 lakh and Rs 22 lakh (on-road, Mumbai), it is a great choice in the competitive segment. However, if you are looking to get your hands on something quite rare and unique with impressive performance, we have found one of the rarest Skodas that you will never see at this price – just Rs 22 lakh. Here’s everything you need to know.

Used Skoda Octavia RS
Indians love the Octavia, and what we love even more is the Octavia RS. Ever since the RS models of the Octavia were introduced back in 2004, the love and excitement to see this performance sedan in action only grew. However, these were usually out of reach for most Indian buyers thanks to a hefty price tag. However, we have found a rare Skoda Octavia RS for you, the RS230, priced at just Rs 22 lakh – same as the top-spec Nissan Tekton. And it has a few more surprises to it.
What You Get?
For Rs 22 lakh, you get a Stage 3-tuned 2018 Skoda Octavia RS 230, adorned in a blue shade. While power figures are not revealed, we believe that this Octavia RS is easily pushing upwards of 350bhp. In stock form, this Octavia RS230 with its 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine produced 230bhp and 350Nm of torque along with a 6-speed DSG. But with all the upgrades to get the car to Stage 3, 350bhp is quite possible. It looks like the owner has done a few visible upgrades, like a set of new wheels, a sporty diffuser, quad-tip exhausts, and blacked-out badging. This Octavia RS gets a sporty cabin layout with a blacked-out theme, alcantara & leather seats with red stitching.
In terms of features, the Octavia RS gets a panoramic glass roof, automatic climate control, auto-dimming IRVM, an 8-inch touchscreen, and much more. However, the reason you would buy this car is for the sheer thrill of driving. This particular one with about 350bhp is going to be a hoot to drive. Enthusiasts have always loved the Octavia RS, and the RS230 is quite a rare find these days. Nimble handling, a fun-to-drive experience and looks that could kill, this is one of the best sports sedans you can buy in just Rs 22 lakh.
