Skoda Octavia vRS iV Estate 2021 review – Brilliant Czech or what the heck? / Electrifying
Read our full review of the Octavia vRS iV here: https://www.electrifying.com/reviews/skoda/octavia-vrs-iv-phev/review
Performance car fans know that the Octavia vRS is a car you shouldn't underestimate. For years, it's offered VW Golf GTI performance in a more practical body shape and with a lower price tag. But now the vRS's practical qualities have shifted up a gear with the launch of this – the plug-in hybrid version.
The Octavia vRS iV offers much of what the VW Golf GTE already does, but while the GTE likes to shout about its eco character, the vRS iV looks like any other petrol or diesel vRS – it's essentially a vRS that just happens to have plug-in hybrid power.
Just like the GTE (and the Cupra Leon E-HYBRID), the iV gets a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine mated to an electric motor and a 13kWh battery. The car's pure-electric range is 33 miles and it falls into the 11% BiK company car tax bracket (which is significantly lower than the petrol and diesel vRS models) thanks to its 27g/km CO2 output, and yet it still has a very healthy 242bhp.
So, is plug-in hybrid power a step too far for the traditionally racy Octavia vRS or is it a star? Nicki Shields finds out.
