The Kodiaq RS is Skoda's most committed seven-seat SUV: VW Group platform underneath, 2.0 L turbo petrol up front, all-wheel drive, and a 0 to 100 time of 6.6 seconds.
What you are buying
A 2.0 L turbo petrol four making 180 kW and 370 Nm, paired with a seven-speed DSG, driving all four wheels through the VW Group 4MOTION AWD system. Seven seats with the back two folding flat, the RS-specific suspension tune, and the larger touchscreen.
Cartell Assessment
The Kodiaq RS is the value play for the buyer who would otherwise have ordered a VW Tiguan Allspace R-Line and paid 15 grand more for it. The compromise is the Skoda dealer footprint, which is smaller than VW's in Australia.
AU Outlook
Kodiaq RS pricing in 2022 sat in the high-$70k drive-away range. Cross-shop is the VW Tiguan Allspace R-Line and the Cupra Formentor VZ.
