New Skoda Kodiaq vRS Sport Variant Introduced

The new model offers sportier style and performance with advanced driving features, now in its second generation.

Recently, the Skoda Kodiaq has been given quite the upgrade. Last year, the All-New Skoda Kodiaq was introduced, with a new design and plug-in hybrid powertrain. This was then followed by the Skoda Kodiaq Armoured offering increased safety and exclusive features.

Continuing its evolution, Skoda has now revealed the new Skoda Kodiaq vRS – a performance variant of the model. Read on to find out what makes it different.

Distinctive exterior styling

The new Skoda Kodiaq vRS is built on a sporty, athletic DNA reflected in its exterior design. Features include black accents, typical of Skoda vRS models, with a gloss black grille, mirror covers and window frames.

A horizontal light strip on the grille adds to the front profile, while the rear features a reflector spanning the entire width. This allows the new Skoda Kodiaq vRS to leave a lasting impression from all angles.

The look continues with Skoda lettering on the rear, body colour bumpers, and stainless-steel exhaust tips. Not to mention the new vRS logo on the tailgate and grille – setting it apart from previous models.

As standard, the new Skoda Kodiaq vRS comes with 20” Elias alloy wheels with an exclusive polished black finish. The brake calipers are painted red, drawing further attention to the sporty wheels.

It also comes in eight exterior finishes, including one solid and seven metallic colours to make it your own.

Two interior Design Selections

Moving to the interior, the new Skoda Kodiaq vRS is even more appealing. Two Design Selections are available – the vRS Lounge and vRS Suite.

The entry-level vRS Lounge trim offers sports seats covered in black microsuede and artificial leather. These feature red contrast stitching and are electrically adjustable with a memory function.

The headliner, in black, continues the sporty design theme, along with a centre armrest and door inserts in black microsuede. Meanwhile, the vRS Design swaps black microsuede for artificial leather for a touch of sustainable luxury.

In the cabin, a three-spoke multifunction sports steering wheel awaits your command with red stitching and a vRS badge. Other features include Kodiaq lettering on the door sills, and laminated glass for better acoustics.

What’s more, a freestanding 13” infotainment screen and 10” Virtual Cockpit come as standard. These illuminate with a vRS welcome logo when the driver climbs inside.

Energetic performance

Fitted with a 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine, the new Skoda Kodiaq vRS is primed for power. This produces a maximum power output of 265PS (20PS more than its predecessor), and up to 400Nm torque.

A seven-speed DSG transmission distributes torque to all four wheels, enabling 0-62mph acceleration in just 6.4 seconds.

Other dynamic driving features include Dynamic Chassis Control which finetunes the damping characteristics. This includes 15 settings, from comfortable to sporty and more which adjusts the dampers.

Drive Mode Select offers Normal, Eco, Comfort, Sport, Individual, and Snow Modes to tailor performance. This works alongside the electronic damper adjustment and includes an Off-Road mode as well.

The new Skoda Kodiaq vRS comes with all-wheel drive as standard, for greater control in varying conditions. The engine is also compliant with EU 6 EB emissions standards, meaning it is more efficient.
