Kodiaq RS Arrives in Christchurch

byJayde Newbury/October 16, 2025/inVehicle News

The second generation of Škoda’s flagship SUV has arrived at Miles Škoda, and it’s ready to turn heads. The Kodiaq RS redefines what a performance SUV can be – delivering bold upgrades, cutting-edge technology, and exceptional comfort for seven passengers. Whether it’s sporty performance or family-friendly versatility you’re after, the Kodiaq RS promises to be your perfect travel companion.

The Kodiaq RS channels Škoda’s rallying heritage with a responsive 195 kW 2.0 L TSI engine that delivers a driving experience full of excitement. With impressive power wrapped in a dynamic presence, it’s no wonder the Kodiaq RS is Škoda’s most popular SUV – one drive is all it takes.

Bold Looks Inspired by Performance

The Kodiaq RS commands attention with bold design that mirrors its performance credentials. At the front, LED Matrix headlights framed in glossy black give it a sharp, high-tech presence, complemented by the RS-specific bumper and black styling elements.

Plus, with 20” Elias matte black alloys accented by red brake calipers, the SUV exudes an unmistakable sporty style. Out back, a body-colour spoiler flows into a sculpted bumper, complete with an RS diffuser and visible aluminium exhaust pipes that show who’s leading the way.

The Art of Sporty Comfort

Step inside the Kodiaq RS, and the sporty spirit continues with every detail. The leather-wrapped sports steering wheel, accented with red stitching and the RS logo, puts performance right at your fingertips.

Electrically adjustable sports seats with lumbar support and fixed head restraints ensure both comfort and stability on every journey, while the seats themselves are finished with striking red stitching and RS branding.

Yet with seating for seven and thoughtful comfort touches throughout, the Kodiaq RS proves that performance and practicality can coexist beautifully.

Clever by Design

True to Škoda’s philosophy of practical innovation, the Kodiaq RS is packed with Simply Clever features that make every journey easier and more enjoyable. From thoughtful touches like the umbrella compartment, integrated funnel, and electric child safety locks, to smart protective details such as door edge protection, convenience is built into every corner.

Everyday usability shines through features like the electric tailgate, USB-C port by the rear-view mirror, and the virtual cockpit for a modern, connected experience. A heated steering wheel, ambient lighting, and rear armrest cup holders add welcomed luxury.

The flexible boot system is a masterclass in versatility. With cargo elements, a double-sided boot liner, nets, and hooks, this space can be transformed to suit everything from sports gear to shopping bags.

Tech That Works for You

The Kodiaq RS combines cutting-edge technology with bold, dynamic design to elevate every drive. Inside the spacious, comfort-focused cabin, precision meets innovation, with intuitive connectivity features that keep you in control and connected on every adventure. A 13″ infotainment system with built-in navigation, a premium Canton Sound System, and an optional head-up display put convenience and information right at your fingertips.

Advanced driver-assistance systems further enhance confidence and control. Travel Assist provides partial driving support to make driving easier, while Park Assist removes the stress of maneuvering into tight spaces. Safety Assist monitors your surroundings, and adaptive LED Matrix lighting delivers exceptional clarity and visibility. Together, these features make every journey safer, smarter, and effortlessly enjoyable.
