Rumour: Skoda Kodiaq RS to be launched in 2020

According to a media report, Skoda is planning to launch the Kodiaq RS in India sometime next year. It is expected to be imported as a completely built unit (CBU).

The Kodiaq RS is a sportier version of the regular model. It features a black grille, black ORVMs and roof rails as well as blacked-out B and C-pillars. The SUV also gets 20-inch alloy wheels and dual exhaust tips. On the interior, the Kodiaq RS gets black Alcantara upholstery with red stitching, 3-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel and a digital instrument cluster.

The Kodiaq RS is expected to get a 2.0-litre, twin-turbocharged, diesel engine that produces 236 BHP and 500 Nm of torque. The engine is likely to be mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters and an all-wheel drive system.
