The price of Skoda Laura RS is Rs. 15.2 lakhs. Skoda Laura RS price for now is ex-showroom in Maharashtra. The price for other cities and states will be available as and when the launch is into further stages.

The changes in the new Skoda Laura RS has only been cosmetic. There are no changes in the engine as most people had expected. It runs on a 160 bhp engine used in earlier Skoda Laura models.

The makers of the car have added a spoiler on the bootlid and chromed exhaust tips to give the car that sporty appeal. The 16 inch alloy wheels with a brand new 10 spoke design is the other visible change in Skoda Laura Rs. An electric sun roof now makes it into the equation. Coming to the interiors of the Laura RS, an all black theme is what you get keeping with the sporty character of the car.

There certain areas where one feels there have attempts of cutting corners. The absence of Climatronic system, Skoda’s climate control system, is one such example. Though there have been no compromise in security. The car is loaded with 6 air bags giving you a secure ride.
