The Skoda Kodiaq RS, a performance oriented SUV, is making a triumphant return. After a brief absence, this sporty model is poised to fascinate enthusiasts with its dynamic upgrades. Recently spied undergoing rigorous testing at the legendary Nurburgring, the new Kodiaq RS showcases a more aggressive exterior design.
The front fascia boasts larger air intakes for improved engine cooling, while the rear end features a sportier diffuser and prominent exhaust tips. The lowered suspension and upgraded brakes promise enhanced handling and braking performance.
Sharing its platform with the Volkswagen Tiguan and Passat, the Kodiaq RS is expected to deliver a thrilling driving experience, blending SUV practicality with sports car agility. The Skoda Kodiaq RS is gearing up to redefine performance in the SUV segment.
The current model, powered by a 242 horsepower 2.0 liter turbocharged engine, is impressive in its own right. However, the next generation Kodiaq RS is poised to take things to the next level. It is expected to inherit the potent 261 horsepower engine from the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Octavia RS, delivering exhilarating performance.
This, combined with an all wheel drive system, will enhance traction and handling capabilities. While initial speculations pointed to a 2025 launch, recent sightings of a nearly undisguised prototype suggest an earlier debut, possibly before the end of 2024.
Skoda’s customary practice of releasing teasers and official sketches ahead of a new model’s launch indicates that we may soon get a look of the performance SUV’s aggressive design. As we eagerly await further details, it’s clear that the next generation Kodiaq RS is set to fascinate enthusiasts with its powerful performance and striking aesthetics.
