The first details of SKODA KODIAQ RS have been unveiled

Skoda plans to introduce a go-fast ‘RS’ variant of the Skoda Kodiaq this year. The Skoda Kodiaq RS could debut at the 2018 Paris Motor Show in October.The Skoda Kodiaq RS will look more aggressive than the regular models. At the front, it may feature black upper grille frame, RS logo on the upper grille, larger lower air intake and sharper bumper with honeycomb air inlets. On the sides, changes may include 20- or 21-inch alloy wheels in a distinctive design, contrasting mirror housing and red brake callipers. The rear section should differ with a sportier bumper with integrated diffuser, RS logo on the tailgate and dual stainless steel exhaust pipes.Inside, black is likely to dominate the colour scheme of the Skoda Kodiaq RS. Other main features may include sports seats, RS logo on the door sills and seat covers and aluminium-finish pedals.The Skoda Kodiaq RS may come with 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines, exclusively in AWD. No details are available, but the British publication says that the company may use a reconfigured version of the VW Golf R’s 310 PS 2.0-litre engine for the petrol model. The new range-topping variant will likely have sports chassis that lowers the body. Stiffer suspension setup should make the large SUV’s drive a little more exhilarating.
