After selling almost 900,000 units from Kodiaq’s first generation in seven years, Skoda introduced the second generation of this nameplate in the Fall of 2023, promising smarter technologies and features.

Skoda refreshed the Kodiaq SUV in 2021, after four years and 600,000 units sold globally.

Almost one year after the introduction of its biggest model, the Kodiaq, Skoda decided to launch a more powerful, sporty version that wore the RS badge.

The Chinese market was a highly competitive one and all the major car-makers tried to get more of it. Skoda even tried to get it with a special vehicle: the 2018 Kodiaq GT, an SUV built especially for China.

Who would have thought that Skoda could actually produce a large SUV to compete even with the Land Rover Discovery? Not many of you, I bet.
