Škoda Auto India has opened bookings for the all-new Kodiaq RS, further strengthening its performance portfolio in the country. Interested buyers can now book the model online by paying a token amount of INR 300,000 (ex-showroom). Only 50 units of the performance SUV will be sold in India.
Alongside, Skoda has introduced its ‘Surrender’ campaign, inviting enthusiasts to surrender to the thrilling performance and dynamic capabilities of the Skoda Kodiaq RS. The arrival of this high-performance 4×4 luxury SUV coincides with two significant milestones — over 50 years of the iconic RS badge and 125 years of Škoda Auto’s motorsport heritage.
Engine Power & Details
At the heart of the Kodiaq RS is a 2.0 TSI engine producing 195 kW (265 PS) and 400 Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to all four wheels via Škoda Auto’s signature 7-speed DSG transmission, delivering sharp responsiveness and great control. With a 0–100 km/h time of just 6.3 seconds, the Skoda Kodiaq RS stands as the quickest Škoda ever launched in India, reaching a top speed of 231 km/h. It also gets Dynamic Sound Boost, delivering a more emotive and engaging engine note.
Other Key Highlights
The Skoda Kodiaq RS comes with Progressive Steering, improving agility while reducing steering effort at low speeds. It is also equipped with the latest generation of Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) Plus, offering 15 levels of damping adjustment — from comfort-oriented to sporty. This system works in tandem with Driving Mode Select, allowing drivers to choose from Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport, Individual, and Snow modes, along with a dedicated Off-Road mode.
Design & Colour Options
The Kodiaq RS features distinctive RS design elements, including blacked-out exterior accents such as the grille frame, ORVMs, window trims, roof rails, and D-pillars, lending it a bold and purposeful stance. Inside, the cabin combines sportiness with luxury through black leather upholstery accented with red stitching. Customers can choose from four striking exterior colors: Moon White, Magic Black, Velvet Red, and Steel Grey.
