Milton Keynes, 17 July 2025 – Škoda is turning heads and turning up the colour with the introduction of two bold new paint options for its performance icon, the Octavia vRS. Following an online public vote across Škoda’s official X and Instagram accounts, fans have crowned Space Violet and Water World Green as the newest additions to the vRS colour palette.

The striking new hues were selected from a shortlist designed to reflect the Octavia vRS’s dynamic character. Over the course of several days, the Škoda community engaged enthusiastically in a series of polls, ultimately pushing Space Violet to the top on X with 43% of the vote, while Water World Green edged out the competition on Instagram with 33% of fans naming it their favourite.

The shortlisted colours – which also included fiery Chilli Red and rich Plum Blue – were part of Škoda’s latest initiative to give its fans a more direct voice in the brand’s creative direction. The winning shades are now available exclusively on Octavia vRS models, reinforcing the brand’s connection to its most passionate followers while offering customers new ways to stand out on the road.

Priced at £855 (RRP), both Space Violet and Water World Green are available to order immediately through Škoda retailers in the UK. Whether specified on the sleek hatchback or versatile estate, the new finishes bring an extra edge to the Octavia vRS’s unmistakable presence.

This colourful initiative forms part of Škoda’s broader strategy to engage with its loyal online audience in fresh and interactive ways. By inviting fans to shape aspects of the product experience, the brand continues to strengthen the emotional connection between its cars and the community that drives them.

Since its debut in 2001, the Octavia vRS has become a performance cornerstone of the Škoda range. The current fourth-generation model is powered by a potent 265 PS turbocharged petrol engine, delivering the perfect blend of daily usability and driver-focused excitement – now with the added flair of fan-chosen finishes.
