Tuesday, December 7, 2021 – The updated version of ŠKODA's award winning Kodiaq SUV reaches showrooms in the coming weeks followed by brand's halo model – the Kodiaq RS – later in the first quarter.
Kodiaq's in 2017 arrival heralded ŠKODA's evolution as a mainstream auto brand in Australia. It immediately won praise, a number of awards and has been the brand's best-selling model.
The Kodiaq comes in three grades, all with four wheel drive and highly responsive turbo petrol engines and generous standard specification: Kodiaq Style, Kodiaq Sportline and, of course, Kodiaq RS. Style and Sportline feature a familiar 132kW/320Nm unit. The most marked change in this respect is the RS.
The previous Kodiaq RS ran a 2.0 litre bi-turbo diesel. The renewed version runs a 180kW/370Nm 2.0 turbo petrol driven through a 7-speed DSG transmission and all four wheels, as per ŠKODA's Octavia RS liftback and wagon.\
