The performance-oriented three-row SUV, the new Kodiaq RS, has been unveiled by Skoda Auto. In addition to having a sportier exterior and more advanced technology, the new Skoda Kodiaq RS has more power than its predecessor. Much like Skoda’s other ‘RS’ models, the new Kodiaq RS pushes the envelope for a more comfortable SUV with a higher top speed.
2025 Skoda Kodiaq RS Powertrain
Once more, the Skoda Kylaq spied. Examine the appearance of the base variation. A 2.0-liter TSI turbocharged petrol engine designed to generate 261 horsepower and 400 Nm of peak torque powers the new Skoda Kodiaq RS. Compared to the first generation model, the power has been increased by 20 horsepower and is distributed to all four wheels through the all-wheel drive system and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The Kodiaq RS can reach a top speed of 231 kmph and accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in 6.3 seconds.
A number of hardware enhancements on the new Kodiaq RS significantly improve performance. The SUV has a variety of suspension settings, including Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport, Individual, and Snow, as well as adaptive dampers.
Skoda Kodiaq RS Visual Upgrades
The Dynamic Sound Boost feature, which produces a richer auditory sensation from the exhaust, is also available on the latest generation Skoda Kodiaq RS. The performance SUV’s grille frame, ORVMs, upper portion of the window frames, roof rails, and D-pillar are all gloss black, giving it the RS aesthetic. Additionally, the Kodiaq RS has a revised front bumper, and the Skoda lettering, finished in glossy black, is displayed on the tailboard.
Skoda Kodiaq RS Interior Changes
The interior of the new Kodiaq RS is completely black with red stitching for contrast. While the RS Suite has full leather seats, the inside is covered in RS Suedia with leatherette seats and Suedia microfiber. The inside is equipped with a 10-inch digital instrument console and a 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
Sometime next year, the latest Skoda Kodiaq is anticipated to reach India. The current version, meanwhile, is still available for purchase in the nation for 39.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Skoda Auto is preparing to launch the Kylaq in India shortly. On November 6, 2024, the brand’s first subcompact SUV will go on sale.
