The Skoda vRS models have always offered a good array of colours. Still do, in fact, with the Royal Green seen on the Superb sleeper (also offered on the Octavia vRS) and Hyper Green for the really brave. The blue of the old Fabia vRS LE was nice, yellow has always hit the mark, and Phoenix Orange has suited every Skoda seen with it. When so many colour charts are so drab, some variety is welcome - and now there are more to choose from.
Following a public poll on X and Instagram, Space Violet and Water World Green are now available to order on the Octavia vRS. The purple attracted 43 per cent of the popular vote on X, and a third of Insta users said the new green was their favourite. So in a true display of people power, they’re now on the configurator, priced from £855. They beat Chilli Red and Plum Blue to the production spots.
While only shown in this render for now, it looks like the people made a good choice. Water World has a kind of bottle green vibe to it, which is welcome given so many greens right now are very dark. The purple is akin to BMW’s Thundernight, which even makes a 2 Series look quite good. So hopes will be high for its effect on a vRS wagon, particularly if there is a better set of wheels available than seen here.
Skoda says the poll is part of its ‘ongoing engagement with its enthusiastic online community, offering fans opportunities to help shape the brand’s future in fun and meaningful ways.’ The more colours for fast Skodas the better, we’ll say. Or if the new hues don’t do it for you, try an Octavia vRS in a classic colour: Rallye Green, Phoenix Orange and Sprint Yellow are all in the classifieds…
