Skoda is rolling out limited-run Octavia models to mark the 30th anniversary of its iconic hatchback and estate. Since launching in 1996, the model has played a key role in the brand’s growth within the Volkswagen Group, with cumulative production nearing eight million units across generations.
The new Octavia Edition 30 is offered in both five-door hatchback and estate guises, sitting between the entry-level SE Technology and mid-range SE L versions. It features a specially curated specification list to maximise value for money.
Buyers can select the 1.5-litre eTEC mild-hybrid petrol engine in 116hp and 150hp guises, or choose a 150hp 2.0-litre TDI diesel. All come with Skoda’s DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. Standard equipment includes 17-inch ‘Ares’ alloy wheels, rear privacy glass, and a rear-view camera.
The interior boasts ‘Lodge Design’ fabric trim, heated front seats, adaptive cruise control, wireless smartphone charging, and a 13-inch media display with satellite navigation. Prices for the Octavia Edition 30 start from £32,080 in hatchback form, or £33,065 for the estate.

For those who prefer the hot vRS version of the Octavia, the new vRS Plus brings more equipment and exclusive exterior colours, including Tangerine Orange and Cosmic Green. The vRS Plus also features a premium Canton sound system, along with LED Matrix headlights and heated front sports seats.
Skoda dealerships are already accepting orders for the Octavia Edition 30, while the vRS Plus will become available from mid-October 2026. The vRS Plus is powered by the same 265hp 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine found in the regular vRS, along with a seven-speed DSG transmission.
The vRS Plus is a high-performance version of the Octavia, and it comes with a range of exclusive features.
