Skoda has unveiled its second-generation Kodiaq, and it's more impressive than ever. The highlight is undoubtedly the return of the sporty RS trim, now more powerful and aggressive than its predecessor.

The Kodiaq RS boasts a distinctive design with a bold front fascia featuring prominent RS-specific bumper intakes and a striking grille adorned with the RS badge. Large 20-inch alloy wheels fill the wheel arches, and dual stainless steel exhaust pipes exit at the rear. The exterior is further enhanced with a plethora of gloss black accents, including the bumpers, grille, mirror caps, window surrounds, D-pillar, and Skoda lettering.
