The all-new Škoda Kodiaq RS

The Škoda Kodiaq RS Doesn't Make You Choose Most SUVs ask you to pick a side. Family car or performance car. Spacious or sporty. Practical or exciting. The Kodiaq RS refuses to accept that compromise. It doesn't dial down the performance to fit more seats in. It doesn't sacrifice comfort to earn its RS badge. It just does both, fully, at the same time. And with the Kodiaq RS arriving as a limited edition, it's not one everyone will get the chance to drive. Room for everyone, room to breathe This is the most spacious Škoda in the lineup. Seven seats, a boot that stretches from 281 litres all the way to 1,976 when you need it, and a second row that slides and reclines so nobody's fighting for legroom on the long drive home. Fold the 40:20:40 split seats down and suddenly the school run and the weekend getaway both fit in the same car. Rear passengers get their own tablet holders for the long stretches on the highway. Rolling sunblinds keep the sun out of anyone's eyes, and there's door storage generous enough for a 1.5 litre bottle on every side. There's a removable storage compartment on the rear centre tunnel, bag hooks in the boot, and a flexible cargo element that adjusts to whatever you're hauling that day. It's the kind of thoughtful, Simply Clever detailing Škoda is known for, built for a life that doesn't slow down. Three-zone Climatronic AC means nobody's arguing over the temperature. And with wireless charging for two phones plus four USB-C ports scattered through the cabin, everyone stays powered up, all the way to the destination. This is a car designed around the reality of family life, not around a showroom fantasy of it. Then you get behind the wheel Here's where the Kodiaq RS stops being just another family SUV. These are the advanced features that set it apart: • A 2.0 TSI engine putting out 195 kW and 400 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic and full 4x4 drive • Dynamic Chassis Control Plus, keeping the ride sharp when you want it and composed when you don't • Gloss black detailing across the grille, mirror caps, roof rails, and D-pillar • RS bumpers and a black diffuser with twin exhaust • Progressive electric power steering for precise, predictable handling through every corner • Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control for the trickier stretches of road • XDS+, working quietly in the background to keep the car planted through every turn This isn't a car that merely carries your family. It responds to you. None of this is theatre. It's a genuinely different driving experience wrapped around a genuinely practical car. The everyday, elevated Step inside and the RS spirit carries through. • Black perforated leather with red contrast stitching • Sport three-spoke steering wheel with shift paddles • Canton Sound System with 13 speakers, turning the daily commute into something worth looking forward to • Ventilated, heated front sports seats with power adjustment and memory feature, so everyone's ideal driving position is one touch away • Aluminium pedals and scuff plates in the front door apertures, the small, sharp touches that remind you this isn't just any Kodiaq • 26.03 cm Virtual Cockpit, putting everything you need directly in your line of sight, laid out exactly the way you want it And because families need more than good looks, the Kodiaq RS backs it all up with real safety. Nine airbags, Front Assist, Lane Assist, adaptive cruise control, and a 360 degree camera that makes parking in tight spaces effortless. Blind spot detection and rear traffic alert watch the angles you can't, while an advanced driver attention and drowsiness monitor keeps a quiet eye on long journeys. Peace of mind, built in, not bolted on. Surrender to the colours The Kodiaq RS comes in four colours: Moon White, Magic Black, Velvet Red, and Steel Grey. Each one is finished to let the RS detailing, the gloss black trim, the 20 inch black alloys, the red brake calipers, do the talking. Built for the road There's a difference between a car that looks good in photographs and one that holds up through everyday use, from the morning commute to the long weekend drive. The Kodiaq RS is built for both. KESSY Advanced keyless entry and the Virtual Pedal for the electric tailgate mean your hands stay free when they're already full. Intelligent Park Assist takes the guesswork out of tight parking spots. Even the smaller details, like a display cleaner for the infotainment screen or a parking ticket clip, reflect a level of thought that goes beyond what's listed on a spec sheet. Surrender to both The Kodiaq RS isn't a compromise between two kinds of driving. It's proof you never needed to choose. Spacious enough for the whole family. Quick enough to make every drive feel like the good part of the trip. Backed by Škoda Super Care with 4 years of standard warranty, free services, and roadside assistance, it's a car built to be lived in, not just admired. So the next time someone tells you that you have to choose between a family car and a performance car, let them know they haven't driven the Kodiaq RS yet. Some cars make you pick a lane. This one builds its own. And with only a limited number on offer, that's a decision worth making sooner rather than later. Surrender. Kodiaq RS. Frequently Asked Questions 1.
