About the Skoda Kodiaq vRS
Introduced as part of the 2021 facelift, the petrol-powered Kodiaq vRS replaced the earlier biturbo diesel model to meet stricter emissions standards. It utilizes the EA888 engine shared with the Volkswagen Golf GTI, providing a more linear power delivery and a significant weight reduction over the front axle. Despite the shift to petrol, it retains the hallmark vRS practicality with seven seats, a massive boot, and standard all-wheel drive. The chassis features adaptive dampers (DCC) and progressive steering as standard, making it one of the most composed large SUVs in its price bracket.
