The Kodiaq RS will be the company’s first model in India to combine its RS (Rally Sport) performance badge with a seven-seat SUV format, as it looks to broaden its presence in the premium segment.
“Now, we’re taking that legacy forward with the Kodiaq RS, our first-ever seven-seater in India to wear the iconic RS badge and the quickest Škoda yet in the country,” said Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India.
