The seven-seater Kodiaq RS also boasts a 12.9-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though the third row is best suited for occasional use, and with no confirmation on a second batch, the Kodiaq RS remains an exclusive, albeit desirable, offering for now.

The Skoda Kodiaq RS has been launched in India at a starting price of ₹66.99 lakh. Skoda India first announced the arrival of the model on June 11 of this year, marking the first RS-badged SUV available in the country.
The RS variant sits above the L&K (Laurin & Klemet) in the Kodiaq lineup. It arrives as a limited-run CBU import with only 50 units allocated in India, all of which were booked within six minutes of bookings opening on June 22.
The Kodiaq RS is powered by a 2.0L TSI Turbocharged petrol engine producing 261 hp. It is paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission and an advanced 4x4 drivetrain.
To enhance driving confidence and safety for the driver and passenger, the RS comes with Advance Driver Assistance System (ADAS). The car also features DCC Plus (Dynamic Chassis Control Plus) and Progressive Steering, allowing it to adapt to different driving conditions while providing a much smoother and exceptional comfort, agility and control.
The design is taken from the standard car’s familiar silhouette and sharpened with a set of purposeful visual changes. It gets blacked-out treatment across the grille, ORVMs and window line. The car has 20-inch alloy wheels with a petal- like design and red brake callipers, which give it a good stance.
The interior of the RS is finished with a full black cabin with red contrast stitching throughout. The three-spoke steering wheel gets a vRS badge, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported by the 12.9- inch infotainment system. The Kodiaq RS seats seven, though the third row is better suited for occasional use rather than regular adult occupancy.
The 2.0L TSI Turbocharged engine makes the RS go from 0-100kmph in a time of 6.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 231kmph. With all 50 units accounted for, Skoda has not yet announced the production of the second batch of the RS model, and yet it remains, for now, a car that is easier to admire than to buy.
