The Kodiaq RS will look sportier than the standard model. It gets a new front bumper, a black grille instead of the chrome one, and wider air intakes. The side has a blacked-out C-pillar and sportier 20-inch alloy wheels with red brake calipers. The roof rails, mirror caps, and window frames will also be blacked out.

At the back, the bumper gets a small redesign, but the overall look is still similar to the regular Kodiaq.

Inside, the Kodiaq RS will have an all-black theme with red accents. The seats will be sporty with RS branding on the headrests. It will also come with a large 13-inch infotainment screen, a digital driver’s display, and easy-to-use controls for the air conditioning and volume.

Skoda Kodiaq RS Powertrain Details

Skoda Kodiaq RS will be powered by a 2.0-litre TSI engine, the same one used in the Octavia RS. This engine gives 265hp and 400Nm of torque, which is more power than the standard Kodiaq. The Kodiaq RS can reach a top speed of 231kph and can go from 0 to 100kph in just 6.3 seconds.
