New Skoda Kodiaq RS Sold Out in 6 Minutes!

This marks the immense popularity and demand for the performance models from the Czech carmaker in India

The new Skoda Kodiaq RS, which was only available as 50 units for our market, has been sold out in just 6 minutes. Interestingly, the prices of the vehicle have not been revealed yet. In all fairness, this shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. There are two main reasons for this. First, the number of allotted units for India is quite small. Second, the popularity of RS models from Skoda in our market has always been extremely strong. Skoda has always brought RS models in limited numbers. Hence, these have been flying off the shelves in no time for years now. Remember the Octavia RS was sold out in India in 2025 in just 20 minutes. Therefore, the Czech auto giant is known for such kind of records.

New Skoda Kodiaq RS – Exterior Styling

The new Skoda Kodiaq RS carries that understated sophistication in its design language, which we have been accustomed to for a long time now. At the front, it gets a signature blacked-out butterfly grille, sleek LED Matrix headlamps and an aggressive bumper with larger air intakes, which lend it a commanding road presence. The side profile is characterized by elegant dual-tone alloy wheels, black exterior accents, prominent wheel arches and clean body lines that enhance its premium appeal. Towards the rear, the connected lighting elements, sporty bumper and RS-specific detailing make it look considerably more dynamic. Overall, Skoda has managed to blend sophistication with performance-oriented styling, ensuring that the Kodiaq RS stands out among premium three-row SUVs in our market.

New Skoda Kodiaq RS – Specs

The main attraction of any RS model from Skoda is what lies under the bonnet. With the Kodiaq RS, we witness the familiar 2.0-litre 4-cylinder TSI turbo petrol mill which generates a healthy 265 hp and 400 Nm of maximum power and torque, respectively. This engine pairs with the tried and tested 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to all four wheels. As a result, it achieves a 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 6.3 seconds, making it the fastest Skoda car in India ever. Furthermore, this SUV also uses the latest generation of Dynamic Chassis Control Plus (DCC Plus) suspension system with 15 levels of damping adjustment. Also, you get Driving Mode Select to choose from Eco, Normal, Sport, Individual and Snow modes in addition to a dedicated off-road mode.

The response to the new Skoda Kodiaq RS once again proves that Indian enthusiasts have a strong appetite for performance-oriented products. Selling out 50 units in just 6 minutes, even before the prices were announced, is a remarkable achievement and highlights the trust buyers have in the RS badge. Over the years, Skoda has built a loyal fan base with cars like the Octavia RS, and the Kodiaq RS appears to be carrying that legacy forward successfully. What makes this even more impressive is that the Kodiaq RS combines everyday practicality with genuine performance credentials, something very few three-row SUVs can claim. It will be interesting to see whether Skoda allocates additional units in the future to meet the overwhelming demand.
