Skoda KODIAQ RS Highlights Paris 2018

  • 6 years ago
The Skoda Kodiaq RS is the first Czech brand's SUV to bear the RS initials. The engine found in the Skoda Kodiaq RS produces 176 kW (240 PS), making it the most powerful production diesel in the history of Skoda. It offers a particularly emotive engine note thanks to Dynamic Sound Boost - which is making its debut in a Skoda. This perfectly complements the power of the Skoda Kodiaq RS, which holds the lap record for seven-seater SUVs on the Nürburgring's Nordschleife with a time of 9 minutes, 29.84 seconds.

The initials RS now represent the perfect combination of a sporty driving experience and excellent suitability for daily use. The Skoda Kodiaq RS is now the brand's first ever SUV to bear these initials steeped in tradition. The extraordinarily dynamic capabilities - both on and off the road - and the powerful appearance of the Skoda Kodiaq RS complement the sporty lifestyle of a constantly growing target group in the SUV segment excellently.

The Skoda Kodiaq RS is the sporty top-of-the-range model and the dynamic driving performance is worthy of this status. The Skoda Kodiaq RS can accelerate from a standing start to 100 km/h in just seven seconds and has a top speed of 220 km/h. The engine's tractive power at lower engine speeds is also impressive: maximum torque is already available between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm. Fuel consumption of just 6 l of diesel per 100 km illustrates the engine's high level of efficiency. CO2 emissions are 157 g/km. A variety of technical factors make this possible: the biturbo engine in theŠkoda Kodiaq RS features direct injection, a Stop-Start system and brake energy recovery, for example. It also has a sophisticated thermo-management system, which swiftly brings the engine up to operating temperature once the ignition is switched on.
