Skoda Kodiaq RS sold out: Gone in six minutes! Skoda Kodiaq RS goes on sale in India |

Skoda Auto India started bookings for the new Kodiaq RS yesterday, June 23, 2026. The limited-run performance SUV quickly attracted strong interest from enthusiasts across the country. And now, the company has announced that all the 50 units allotted for India have been sold within just six minutes of opening the bookings. With all 50 units already sold, it remains to be seen if Skoda Auto India will allocate more units of the Kodiaq RS for the Indian market.

Skoda will import the performance SUV as a completely built unit (CBU) and is expected to be priced between Rs 50 lakh and Rs 55 lakh (ex-showroom). The new Skoda Kodiaq RS is powered by a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder turbo gasoline engine that produces 265 hp and 400 Nm of torque. Compared to the regular Kodiaq, the RS delivers an additional 60hp and 80Nm of torque. Remarkably, the engine is tuned identically to the unit that powers the Octavia RS and Golf GTI. It is paired with a 7-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox, which sends power to all four wheels. The Kodiaq RS also benefits from upgraded braking components, including slotted brake discs and twin-piston front calipers. However, it remains unclear whether the India-spec model will receive adaptive suspension, a feature currently offered on international versions of the performance SUV. The Kodiaq RS retains the standard model’s three-row layout and overall silhouette but adds a few RS-specific styling cues. These include a gloss-black grille, Matrix LED headlamps, a revised front bumper with larger air intakes, RS badging, blacked-out exterior elements, red brake calipers and larger alloy wheels of up to 20 inches in overseas markets.At the rear, the SUV has RS badging, a new bumper design with a black insert, connected LED tail-lamps with a smoked cut-out piece, a roof spoiler and black roof rails. International markets also get exclusive colors like Hyper Green, though India-specific paint options are yet to be announced. Inside, most of the cabin mirrors the standard Kodiaq but gets sport seats with integrated headrests, leather and suede-like upholstery, red contrast stitching and RS branding throughout the interior.Expected features include a 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 13-speaker Canton audio system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, powered tailgate, 360-degree camera, park assist, powered driver’s seat with memory function, heated front seats, three-zone climate control, ambient lighting, keyless entry to a panoramic sunromic. Safety equipment is expected to include nine airbags, ESC, ABS with EBD, traction control, electronic differential lock, brake assist, hill start assist, hill descent control, ISOFIX mounts and Level 2 ADAS.
