New Skoda Kodiaq RS: details and price of the revamped SUV

The new Skoda Kodiaq RS gets a new facelift, a makeover for the most special and powerful SUV from the Czech brand, which will give it a fresher look to face up to its rivals until the next generation of the model is unveiled.

This model has been with us since 2016, the year it was presented as Skoda’s bet in the large SUV segment to compete against models such as the Hyundai Santa Fe, the Peugeot 5008, the Mitsubishi Outlander or the Nissan X-Trail, models that had already been on the market for longer.

A very complete package

Even so, the Skoda Kodiaq has managed to carve out a niche over these years, becoming one of the most interesting options in the mid-size SUV segment thanks to its equipment, build quality and attractive design, all at a really competitive price.

But today our protagonist is not just any Kodiaq; it is the Kodiaq RS, the most performance-oriented and sporty version of the model, which has now been updated and which can be configured right now on the brand’s configurator.

A new facelift

As for its styling, the new Kodiaq features a sportier front bumper than the one it had before this new restyling, which has been redesigned specifically for this model. The new headlights with LED technology and its grille have also been redesigned, giving it a more aggressive look.

At the rear, new, more angular LED taillights have been fitted, and the tailgate has sharper creases than the 2019 model. We already saw these elements in the restyling we brought you a couple of months ago.

This new Kodiaq RS comes with a generous standard equipment list, highlights of which include 20-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, a SPORT multifunction steering wheel, automatic light control, adaptive cruise control and speed limiter, a driving mode selector and Sport Chassis Control, emergency braking system and much more.

The heart of this SUV is the well-known 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine producing 245 CV and 370 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic gearbox and an all-wheel-drive system. Its top speed is 234 km/h and its average consumption is 7.4 l/100 km on the WLTP cycle.

Price of the revamped Kodiaq RS

Now let’s talk about price: this Skoda Kodiaq RS is available from €51,980. That is a truly good price considering this is a 7-seat SUV with 245 CV and plenty of standard equipment.
