Skoda Kodiaq RS Launched at ₹66.99 Lakh: 265 PS Performance SUV Arrives
Jul 31, 2026The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- The quickest Skoda ever sold in India: 265 PS, 400 Nm and 4x4 get this seven-seater to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds
- DCC Plus adaptive dampers with 15 settings and progressive steering give it real dynamic depth over the standard Kodiaq, not just a sporty body kit
- Still a proper family SUV, with seven seats, 9 airbags, ADAS, a 360-degree camera and ventilated, heated and massaging front seats
- Looks the part with gloss black detailing down to the D-pillar, 20-inch RS wheels, red callipers and red-stitched black leather inside
Worth knowing
- Only 50 units came in the first batch and they sold out in six minutes; Skoda has not confirmed a second batch
- At Rs 66.99 lakh it costs about Rs 20 lakh more than the top Kodiaq Selection L&K, as it is a fully imported CBU
- The locally assembled VW Tayron R-Line is far cheaper, even if it is less powerful and lacks adaptive dampers
- With the third row up the boot shrinks to a small 281 litres
