Skoda’s second generation Kodiaq RS comes with a bit more power and revised styling in an effort to keep things fresh. With 261 hp on tap, the 2025 Kodiaq RS can actually claim to be Skoda’s most powerful petrol SUV ever built. The 2.0L inline 4 turbo engine is coupled with a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive to help it deliver a 0 to 62 mph time of 6.3 seconds, and a top speed of 144 mph. Other highlights include matrix LED headlights, continuously adjustable dampers, dedicated Sport, Snow, and Off-Road modes and a Canton sound system.
