Skoda releases additional details of upcoming Kodiaq RS

Skoda has released the specifications of its range-topping Kodiaq RS SUV. The Skoda Kodiaq has been given an updated design, and the performance RS model has been released with a comprehensive equipment list that customers have come to expect from the brand's performance flagship model.     

The revised Kodiaq vRS delivers more power, promising even better performance. The latest EVO 2.0 TSI petrol engine comes with four-wheel drive and a seven-speed DSG gearbox as standard. It produces 241bhp, and can sprint from zero to 100km/h in just 6.6 seconds.

The model's sporty styling is accentuated by the addition of 20-inch Sagitarius anthracite alloy wheels with distinctive red brake calipers, vRS bumpers, gloss black roof rails, and dual exhaust pipes. Full LED Matrix head lights are fitted as standard.

With an overall length of around 4,700mm, the versatile SUV offers a cavernous 2,005 litres of space with all rear seats down. Its seven-seater layout means that the entire family can travel with plenty of space to spare.

Inside, plush microsuede black RS sport seats with contrast red stitching and RS logos leave a lasting impression. A three-spoke leather multi-function steering wheel, DSG paddles, and virtual cockpit come as standard features. Exclusive to the RS is a Sports display mode layout that places the rev counter and speedometer graphics in front of the driver.

The Kodiaq vRS is equipped with Dynamic chassis control, making it possible for the driver to adjust the steering and suspension characteristics depending on whether Comfort, Normal or Sport mode is selected.
