BMW 530d M-Sport vs Skoda Octavia VRS 230: Turbo Petrol or Turbo Diesel? | UpShift
The Skoda Octavia VRS has been one of the most influential cars in the Indian automotive scene. The tuning capabilities and the well rounded abilities of the Skoda Octavia VRS make it a really desirable car in India. But due to limited numbers being sold in India, the 2013-2017 F10 generation of BMW 530d M-Sport also looks like a performance bargain considering you find them under 30 lacs easily nowadays. The 530d M-Sport might be a diesel but it has a proper sports saloon setup with RWD and an Inline-6. The Skoda Octavia might be more purposeful in its pursuit of performance but the BMW is surely the superior one in terms of luxury and sheer road presence. Watch the video to find out more!

Driven the 530D M sport as well as the VRS , but that torque in 530D is simply mind blowing pins you back to the seat ..

We are sooo sorryyy 😢. Even we had a drag race lined up but due to the lack of a decent and most importantly a "safe" road where we could've done it, we decided to chuck the idea 💔.
Great video,however a slight fact correction,the octavia Rs 230 is powered by a GTI motor not the one in the Golf R,the Ea888,that is 288 Bhp , and sends power to all four wheels,same engine is used in the European Superb Sportline😅

You can actually. I've driven the F10 530d AND the 630d GT, and in both the cars you have to correct the rear from sliding when you push the A pedal.
I still own a red 2004 octavia VRS in Hyderabad (India)...it is still better than a 2019 model 320i BMW in space and performance...a true performance machine and a pride to be a owner.

I think a 328i would be a better rival against the Octavia vrs 230 since both are 2L turbocharged engines .
Great video guys. Keep making such videos.
Maaaaan too good! You guys are doing a great job. ❤️
I want to like the VRS because of how much power potential this car holds but only if it were a RWD.
Was invited to the VRS 245 launch event at the Sahara city air strip. But we drove there from Pune in a 530d and came back underwhelmed in comparison for a car that poses to be a fast car.
Ok on a serious note which is best 230 or 245
Enjoyed listening to Bhavneets immaculate English haha
Make a separate proper video on a 2014/15 Bmw 530d(get a white coloured one bcz it looks much more sexy) I hvnt seen 1 good review of it. Hoping to see you make it!❤ great job!🔥
Why not a 330i??
BWM won in the interior looks, exterior looks, and performance. Even though it’s almost 10 years old, it doesn’t look outdated at all. It’s a shame 530 is not available in petrol and they didn’t bring 535i in India 😔.
Nice review. Pl have a review on Abarth punto . I have one and believe me it’s a quick one and throws you back on to the seat when u push it hard .You can compare it with current gen turbo petrols

Gr8 hatch that Indian enthusiasts had as an option for a short while at a reasonable price. However, at 140bhp it doesn't hold a candle to these 2 sedans which are in different league altogether!
Fwd vs in line 6 diesel 8 speed zf rwd Hats off compare... Plz keep doing this work
Thank GOD he didn't get a MUSTANG !!!
Damn what happened to the BMW designers, none of their new cars have this charisma, be it exterior or interior. MB is doing much better in these areas.

Nothing's wrong with a diesel! Except that ofcourse petrol cars are much more responsive and make a better sound and "real" sportscars are meant to be petrol. But this 530d M-Sport is a great example that even diesel cars can be fun!
Make a video on bmw e90 It would be better comparison Compare vrs245 and e90
Woohhhhh.......! I loved the BMW Though🔥.

@@yateshasher4872 nobody buys a lamborghini for interiors. Even the owners have a lot of videos where they say interiors are one of their dislikes. If you wanna see real interiors, check out the Bentley continental gt and flying spur. Fact is that all the interior bits of vrs are taken from vw parts bin which come from golf, seat Leon etc which are sub 20 lakh worth hatchbacks. Interiors from bmw 5 series comes from 7 Series which is a 1cr + worth car. Octavia owners look up to the ones having a 530d and wanna get there some day. Vrs is still a front wheel drive puny 2ltr turbo.
