Skoda is developing a more powerful version of the Kodiaq RS, expected to debut in mid-2027 with over 300 horsepower, addressing its current performance gap with rivals like the Volkswagen Tiguan R.
Key Details:
- Spy photos reveal a test mule with performance cues (red brake calipers, 20-inch wheels, RS badging) and high-voltage battery indicators, suggesting hybrid tech.
- The new engine, likely a 2.0 TSI with 48V MHEV tech, is being developed in collaboration with Volkswagen and will also power the T-Roc R and Tiguan R.
- The current 265 CV Kodiaq RS may be retained as a lower-tier model or replaced entirely, depending on market strategy.
