Fast family SUV is coming soon – the Upcoming Skoda Kodiaq RS is made for you if you want one car for your family and still love speed and fun.
What Is The Upcoming Skoda Kodiaq RS?
The Upcoming Skoda Kodiaq RS is a sporty version of the regular Kodiaq SUV. It is Skoda’s first performance SUV for India and will sit above the normal Kodiaq. This means you get a big family car that is also fast and exciting to drive.
Skoda has confirmed that the Kodiaq RS will launch in India by June 2026. It will come in limited numbers as a fully imported model, so it will feel more special on the road.
Design And Looks You Can Expect
From the outside, the Upcoming Skoda Kodiaq RS will look sharper and sportier than the normal Kodiaq. It will get a gloss black front grille with a bold RS badge, sporty bumpers and larger air intakes. You can also expect dark elements in the LED headlamps and stylish alloy wheels to give it a strong road presence.
At the back, the bumper will have a slightly different design and a more aggressive look. Overall, it will still look like a family SUV but with a powerful, sporty touch that you and your family will notice easily.
Cabin, Comfort And Features
Inside, the Upcoming Skoda Kodiaq RS will get an all‑black cabin with red accents and RS logos. The seats will be sporty, with extra side support to hold you in place when the car goes fast around corners. It will still be a three‑row SUV, so your whole family can sit together comfortably.
You can expect a big 13‑inch touchscreen, a full digital driver display, three‑zone climate control, ambient lighting and a premium 13‑speaker sound system. Features like a panoramic sunroof, powered tailgate and powered, ventilated, heated and even massaging front seats are also expected. This means you get both fun and luxury in one SUV.
Engine, Power And Performance
The biggest highlight of the Upcoming Skoda Kodiaq RS is its engine and performance. It will use a 2.0‑litre TSI turbo‑petrol engine, the same strong engine used in the Octavia RS. This motor will make around 261–265 PS of power and 400 Nm of torque, which is much higher than the standard Kodiaq.
Power will go to all four wheels through a 7‑speed dual‑clutch automatic gearbox (DCT) with all‑wheel drive. The Kodiaq RS is expected to do 0–100 km/h in about 6.3 seconds and reach a top speed of around 231 km/h. It will also get upgraded brakes, a stiffer suspension and Dynamic Chassis Control to make the drive more stable and fun.

Safety And Technology For Your Family
For safety, the Upcoming Skoda Kodiaq RS is expected to offer 9 airbags and a 5‑star Euro NCAP safety rating like the global Kodiaq. It should also get Level 2 ADAS features, including lane assist, adaptive cruise control and more. Systems like electronic stability control, hill‑hold assist and an electronic parking brake with auto‑hold will help you stay in control.
Parking will be easier with a 360‑degree camera and front and rear parking sensors. Together, these features make the Kodiaq RS a safe choice for you and your family, even though it is a performance SUV.
