Powering into Space: All-New Škoda Kodiaq vRS Seven-Seater Launches in the UK
Allams Škoda is thrilled to announce the arrival of the all-new Škoda Kodiaq vRS, the flagship of the second-generation Kodiaq range. Packed with power, performance, and premium features, this seven-seater SUV is ready to redefine sporty practicality. Available to order from 16 January 2025, the new Kodiaq vRS boasts enhancements that make it even more dynamic and desirable than its predecessor.
High-Performance Powertrain
The all-new Kodiaq vRS is powered by a 2.0 TSI petrol engine delivering an impressive 265 PS — 20 PS more than the previous model. With 400 Nm of torque, this is Škoda’s most powerful combustion-powered production model to date. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 6.4 seconds, has a top speed of 143 mph, and still achieves 33.8 mpg on the WLTP combined cycle. Power is distributed to all four wheels via a seven-speed DSG transmission, and the new Dynamic Sound Boost system adds a thrilling soundtrack to match the vRS’s performance.
Exclusive vRS Design
The new Kodiaq vRS features a distinctive design package, including gloss black accents on the grille frame, D-pillar, and window frames, as well as a redesigned front bumper with black elements and a horizontal light strip in the grille. The rear boasts a signature reflector strip spanning its width, black Škoda lettering, and polished stainless-steel exhaust tips. Standard 20-inch Elias alloy wheels with a polished black finish complete the sporty aesthetic.
Inside, the vRS Lounge Design Selection offers black microsuede/artificial leather upholstery with red contrast stitching, integrated sports seats with memory functions, and a host of premium features. A three-spoke multifunction sports steering wheel, stainless-steel pedal covers, and a vRS welcome logo on the infotainment screen add to the athletic feel.
Technology and Comfort
The Kodiaq vRS is equipped with advanced technology for a superior driving experience. Standard features include a 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit, a 13-inch infotainment screen, and laminated acoustic glass for enhanced sound insulation. Additionally, drivers benefit from Drive Mode Select, Dynamic Chassis Control Plus (DCC Plus), and progressive steering, ensuring the vRS is as agile as it is powerful.
