Skoda, in its latest video, has dropped plenty of hints about the new Kodiaq RS, ahead of the high-performance SUV’s official world debut at the 2018 Paris Motor Show in October. The video offers a preview of the car’s full-LED headlights, virtual cockpit and the new Dynamic Sound Boost function which accentuates the exhaust note.

To be fitted with a 236bhp diesel engine, the most powerful in Skoda's history, an All-Wheel-Drive system and adaptive suspension, the Kodiaq RS will be the brand’s first high-performance SUV. Besides the AWD, the Kodiaq RS will also come fitted with an individually adjustable virtual cockpit, Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC), Driving Mode Select and a progressive steering rack.

In June 2018, Skoda ran the Kodiaq RS on the Nurburgring and with racing driver Sabine Schmitz behind the wheel, the Kodiaq RS set a lap time of 9:29.84 minutes, making it the fastest ever seven-seat SUV to set a time on it.
