Skoda Kodiaq RS Bookings Open in India: Limited 50 Units

Skoda Kodiaq RS Bookings Open in India: Limited 50 Units. Skoda Auto India has commenced bookings for the Kodiaq RS, the sportier and more powerful version of its flagship three-row SUV. Customers can reserve the model with a booking amount of Rs. 3 lakh, while official pricing is expected in the coming weeks. The Skoda Kodiaq RS will be offered in limited numbers, with only 50 units earmarked for the Indian market.

Positioned above the regular Kodiaq Laurin & Klement (L&K) variant, the Skoda Kodiaq RS aims to cater to buyers seeking enhanced performance alongside premium SUV practicality. Powering it is a revised 2.0-liter turbo-petrol engine that develops 261 BHP and 400 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and Skoda’s all-wheel-drive system. According to the company, the SUV can accelerate from 0-100 km/hr in 6.3 seconds and achieve a top speed of 231 km/hr.

In terms of styling, the Skoda Kodiaq RS receives several cosmetic enhancements to distinguish it from the standard model. These include blacked-out exterior elements such as the grille, roof rails, mirror caps and window surrounds. The SUV also features 20-inch alloy wheels and red brake calipers, reinforcing its sporty positioning. Buyers will have a choice of four exterior colors: Steel Grey, Velvet Red, Magic Black and Moon White. While the complete feature list has not yet been disclosed, the Skoda Kodiaq RS is expected to retain most equipment from the standard model, including a 13-inch touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, and three-row seating.

With its increased performance and limited availability, the Skoda Kodiaq RS is expected to command a premium over the standard range. Pricing could exceed Rs. 50 lakhs (ex-showroom), though official figures remain awaited. The reservation process marks an exciting opportunity for enthusiasts who value power and exclusivity in a practical SUV package.
