Skoda have advanced their RS performance range with a brand-new Kodiaq RS and an improved Octavia version, writes Brian Byrne. Since first introduced in 2000, the RS 'Rally Sport' designation has garnered a very well considered reputation originally built on racetrack performance.
Both of the latest cars use the new 2.0 TSI engine with 265hp on tap. Acceleration figures in the region of 6.4s feature on both. The Kodiaq is AWD while the Octavia is FWD.
The latest cars also have distinctive exterior styling touches, with items like spoilers also further enhanced to improve aerodynamic performance.
Irish availability and prices to come.
