Skoda Octavia vRS Challenge 2019 review<br /><br />The styling tweaks may be so subtle as to include black vRS badging and exhaust tips, but, in combination with the ‘Xtreme’ alloy wheels, they lend the vRS a pleasingly subtle sense of menace that’s in keeping with the hot Octavia’s character. <br /><br />Another feature the Challenge gets over the standard car is a set of power-operated Alcantara seats. These are rather lovely, having a decent balance of support and comfort, and adding a light sense of occasion to the otherwise conservative cabin.<br /><br />Factor in the digital dials (a reasonable £450 option) and the well-judged ‘Supersport’ steering wheel of the standard vRS, and this is a Skoda that comes pretty close to feeling like a car from one of the established premium manufacturers.
