Reservations Open for Škoda Kodiaq RS; Surrender Now

Mumbai, 22 June 2026 – Škoda Auto India has opened bookings for the all-new Kodiaq RS, further strengthening its performance portfolio in the country. Alongside, the brand introduces its ‘Surrender’ campaign, inviting enthusiasts to surrender to the thrilling performance and dynamic capabilities of the Kodiaq RS. The arrival of this high-performance 4x4 luxury SUV coincides with two significant milestones — over 50 years of the iconic RS badge and 125 years of Škoda Auto’s motorsport heritage.

Surrender to performance
At the heart of the Kodiaq RS is a 2.0 TSI engine producing 195 kW (265 PS) and 400 Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to all four wheels via Škoda Auto’s signature 7-speed DSG transmission, delivering sharp responsiveness and exceptional control. With a 0–100 km/h time of just 6.3 seconds, the Kodiaq RS stands as the quickest Škoda ever launched in India, reaching a top speed of 231 km/h. The experience is further heightened by Dynamic Sound Boost, delivering a more emotive and engaging engine note.

Surrender to experience
The Kodiaq RS enhances driver engagement with Progressive Steering, improving agility while reducing steering effort at low speeds. It is also equipped with the latest generation of Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) Plus, offering 15 levels of damping adjustment — from comfort-oriented to sporty. This system works in tandem with Driving Mode Select, allowing drivers to choose from Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport, Individual, and Snow modes, along with a dedicated Off-Road mode. Each mode intelligently adapts damper settings and vehicle responses to suit varying driving conditions.

Surrender to presence
The Kodiaq RS features distinctive RS design elements, including blacked-out exterior accents such as the grille frame, ORVMs, window trims, roof rails, and D-pillars, lending it a bold and purposeful stance. Inside, the cabin combines sportiness with luxury through black leather upholstery accented with red stitching. Customers can choose from four striking exterior colors: Moon White, Magic Black, Velvet Red, and Steel Grey.

Škoda Auto India will offer the Kodiaq RS in an exclusive run of just 50 units. Bookings acan now be made at INR 300,000 (ex-showroom) on https://www.buyskodaonline.co.in/kodiaq-rs.
